PrintPhiladelphia Phillies at St. Louis Cardinals, Jun 15, 2008 2:15 PM EDT
End of the road trip today as Brett Myers squares off against young Mitchell Boggs, who earned his first career win against the Reds on June 10. That's all I know about him. But he must be good; he's batting eighth!
Interesting Phillies lineup today with Jayson Werth batting second and playing CF for Victorino and Greg Dobbs in for Feliz at third base. Coste is behind the plate, as he generally seems to be for Myers.

Jayson Werth tidbit
Last game I watched, I noticed Werth fan after working the count to 3-0. Very frustrating to see that. Yahoo lets you look at situational stats….
Werth has worked the count to 3-0 on 15 different occasions this year. (It lists 7, but he has 8 BBs so I’m guessing the walks make it not count as an AB)
He’s struck out 3 times so far this year after starting with a 3-0 count, worse he’s only got one hit on the 3-0 count.
Werth should never get a green light at 3-0.
I love how the speculation is that with Hamels, Myers and (trade pitcher) we will roll in the playoffs. Better acquire two pitchers.

Garbage. A kill-me 88 mph fastball in the middle of the strike zone to Troy Glaus.
He’s hurt or just terminally stupid.
We all know he is not only immatyre but stoopid as well. It’s the hurt ie: loss of velocity, that he or the team is keeping mum on.
I think I could probably hit Myers fastball out at this point.
I didn’t think it would be possible for Myers’ pitching performance to be worse than The Happening, but alas.
Obviously…(although you really have no idea to my level of Baseball skill)...but I have my doubts as to whether Myers could get AA hitters out at this point.
Okay, I am really out of here now…me and pops are gonna go for a bike ride.
If you had the abillity to take a 88 MPH fast ball out of the park, you’d be way too busy during baseball season to post on a blog, call it a reasonable assumption based on the available facts.

Oh no, I can detect sarcasm, but all you do is post negative crap so if I poke the troll and the troll jumps, and makes me laugh, then it’s fun.
Every time you write something about the phillies it seems to be negative, and it’s kind of tiresome, so yeah, call me an asswipe, but what do i call, i’m amused

Ok, i’ll take it easy, please everyone, continue to call me names

Now you are holding me up…Sure, I have stated before that I normally come on here to post things that bother me about this team…whatever, this doesn’t have to be a log-rolling love-fest.
That said, what about Myers’ performance today is there to be positive about? Is there anything about the comment I made about Myers having no fastball false? No…You, on the other hand appear to subscribe to the “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all mentality”...again, fine by me. You don’t see me being a jerk to you because all you do is tell people not to say anything negative about this team.
Yeah, ask the people here who are familiar with how I post, i’m definitely all positive all the time.
The correct word is balance
first place, 4 games up, yet all a person can find to say about this team revolves around the negative, how can you enjoy?

Not to be the tennis referee here, but this is a good point. Even if they get wiped out today, still up 3 at least.
not to mention, cardinals pen sucks, phillies pen awesome, and it’s now 5-4
hard to wirte a game off before it’s half over with this offense and this pen – not that it means much but kruk called the phils best offense, pen and team in the NL this morning
by jemagee on Jun 15, 2008 3:44 PM EDT up reply actions
Fine, I will strive for balance (though I resent the characterization of ALL of my posts as negative—I do tend to post things that frustrate me as they occur through the course of the game) and we can put this behind us.
getting banned everywhere gives you some perspective, not that i recommend anyone try it :)
by jemagee on Jun 15, 2008 3:46 PM EDT up reply actions
Game over
Time to go wax a car or pull weeds, I’m done wasting my time when this clown starts. Pathetic.
No matter how crappy eaton or myers pitch, 1, 2 run offense outputs against this crappy team, the phils don’t deserve to win anyway

Ok, so bases loaded, 1 out, boggs a little wild, howard up…please oh please ryan have a positive at bat
by jemagee on Jun 15, 2008 3:34 PM EDT reply actions
As an aside, this umpires strike call is kind of irritating and subtle…they should have some sort of ‘normalized’ strike call for umps.
nicely done ryan…that’s 2 RBIs on the single against the shift….

Is vicotirno, hurt, in trouble or just resting
by jemagee on Jun 15, 2008 3:43 PM EDT up reply actions
Well he’s had enough rest get jenkins the hell out :)

Coste swung on the 2-1 pitch and fouled it off, according to the cardinals announcer, he swung at ball 4
by jemagee on Jun 15, 2008 3:45 PM EDT reply actions
Of course, it was foreshadwing cause then he DID swing at ball 4 :(
by jemagee on Jun 15, 2008 3:45 PM EDT up reply actions
3 runs is the least amount of runs you can get while bringing 9 to the plate, i think, so that would explain it :)
by jemagee on Jun 15, 2008 3:47 PM EDT up reply actions
Ok Brett…they got you back in the game, please oh please, put up a 0 on the cardinals this inning….
by jemagee on Jun 15, 2008 3:49 PM EDT reply actions
If he can ge through the sixth with the score no worse, i’m confident in bullpen vs bullpen (contrary to what must have happened yesterday, the game i didn’t get to see even in spanish since i was stuck with dodgers tigers, even when it become a blow out)
by jemagee on Jun 15, 2008 3:53 PM EDT reply actions
Ugh well not a good start to bottom of the sixth
by jemagee on Jun 15, 2008 4:02 PM EDT reply actions
Dobbs with not the strongest throw in the world.
Myers really doesn’t dserve to come out of THIS inning right now, he should be out of this inning
by jemagee on Jun 15, 2008 4:11 PM EDT reply actions
Hey dubee, that’s a good pitch you dumbass, call it more :)
by jemagee on Jun 15, 2008 4:15 PM EDT up reply actions
Madson really seems to have settled in. I am 100% in favor of giving him a shot in tight games and as a set up guy for Lidge.
3-1, if it’s me i still have the take sign on for werth
by jemagee on Jun 15, 2008 4:43 PM EDT up reply actions
I question putting taguchi in NOW….it’s not like i’m worried about that run scoring at the moment
by jemagee on Jun 15, 2008 4:57 PM EDT reply actions
Ok, so romero with a nice inning, now need someone to get on base anyway to get to jimmy….BE PATIENT PLEASE
by jemagee on Jun 15, 2008 5:06 PM EDT reply actions
and now he’s down 0-2….i hate asking guys to bunt who don’t do it a lot
by jemagee on Jun 15, 2008 5:11 PM EDT up reply actions
the ball is on the ground to the right side of the field…why was bruntlett heading back to second?
by jemagee on Jun 15, 2008 5:15 PM EDT reply actions
Not to be heartless, but couldn’t victorino and rollins take the next base while he lays there?
by jemagee on Jun 15, 2008 5:18 PM EDT reply actions
Because it’s more manly to try and kill the catcher and make him driop the ball?
by jemagee on Jun 15, 2008 5:19 PM EDT up reply actions
And oh yeah, they didn’t tag bruntlet…burntlett ran into molinas back…he was safe
by jemagee on Jun 15, 2008 5:18 PM EDT reply actions
No molina missed him, and yes bruntlett missed the plate, but he can go back and hit it, even the cardinals announcers say molina missed the tag
by jemagee on Jun 15, 2008 5:20 PM EDT up reply actions
Well personally, i’ll trust the cardinals announcers since the phillies announcers tend to be a bit blind or stupid
by jemagee on Jun 15, 2008 5:23 PM EDT up reply actions
Well, at least the Cardinals will have a heartwarming victory when Gordon spits the bit in the bottom of the 9th…
They just showed the play again. I think Molina did tag him… because Bruntlett’s an idiot who didn’t slide. Absolutely no excuse not to score on that play.
Way to go werth….excellent taking one for the team….now if you believe in clutch
by jemagee on Jun 15, 2008 5:29 PM EDT reply actions
Bases left loaded again. See you guys tomorrow, I need to seclude myself if Gordon is in fact coming in now. (I just presume that he is gonna eff up).
Ok, so in the 10th we got howard and burrell so i’m not that concerned
Oh wait.
ARGH

Nice work by durbin, now ryan howard basically needs to hit a home run
by jemagee on Jun 15, 2008 5:38 PM EDT reply actions
Scratch that negative energy. Chad Durbin made that very easy to watch. Question to everyone, should he replace Gordon as the set-up man for Lidge? I personally am torn.
First pitch swinging pinch hitting idiot – who could that have been?
by jemagee on Jun 15, 2008 5:44 PM EDT reply actions
Oh come on tom – you gonna let that little hit bug you
by jemagee on Jun 15, 2008 5:51 PM EDT reply actions
second throw was behind him and low….don’t recall the first one
by jemagee on Jun 15, 2008 5:54 PM EDT up reply actions
Second error scored to gordon according to utley
