Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


Gamethread: Phils @ Rangers, 6/27/08

Philadelphia Phillies @ Texas Rangers


I'll keep this short and sweet. It's Arlington Ballpark, a soupy Texas night in June, and Kason Gabbard on the mound for the Rangers, and the Werth-leadoff lineup. Hittin' time. Mmmkay, fellas?

Well, that was a horrific top of the first.

Well Myers ‘bout to take the hill. Will sure be a good omen if he can get outta it by not giving up any runs….stay tuned…we shall see.

Dear Mother of God. Another HR served up. 1 up 1 out (of the park) number 24 I think.

Maybe this just isn’t going to get better.

It’s gotta get better real soon for Myers. I’ll bet Gillick has a plan though. That would be my guess.

He made some nice pitches to get out of that.

by dajafi on Jun 27, 2008 8:42 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I see he’s relying on off speed pitches even when down in the count. That’s gutsy but good to see.

!st time through lineup

Phils with three walks but this kid walks more than K’s. So let’s get some hits boys.

Loaded for Rollins

Fingers crossed saying prayers and holding breath.

Cheap RBI but we’ll take it.

Walk Pat to get to Howard. My My My. It sez it all don’t it.

That”s it Howard just keep chasing breaking balls out of the zone. They really have his number.

Happy Pete

Grand Slam…Unreal. 5-1 Phillies.

How bout that PEDRO FELIZ

by dajafi on Jun 27, 2008 8:58 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

WONDERFUL. He actually has been hitting better lately.

by Steve-O- on Jun 27, 2008 9:03 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

RELIEF?

Any chance this would be the game where Chad Durbin gets a chance to pitch more than a couple of innings?

by phillyinportland on Jun 27, 2008 9:10 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Condrey coming in. Charlie has seen (not) enough of Myers. Good fuch his confidence.

Call me crazy

5-2 bases loaded no outs, I swear to God I’d pull him now.

by Steve-O- on Jun 27, 2008 9:10 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Not crazy

I’m not watching, just following on ESPN, but if Myers can’t get an out fast I’d pull him before the lead vanishes.

by phillyinportland on Jun 27, 2008 9:13 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Try MLB gameday, it’s better IMO than ESPN.

He’s gone. Country’s in. Welcome to the game, rarely used guy…

6-5 Rangers. Oh God I can’t say it.

by Steve-O- on Jun 27, 2008 9:17 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Ah, (*x%x$.

Double play, two run bomb, and we’re losing.

by dajafi on Jun 27, 2008 9:16 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Been a while ..

since we’ve had a game like this. Have to rely on the offense to finally wake up.

And the bullpen not to decide this is Regression to the Mean Night.

I really, really hate interleague play. Since I haven’t mentioned it in the gamethread yet.

Sincerely, $(&% the DH, (x%x$ the AL West, (x%x$ Texas, %)($ the Phillies’ awful hitting.

Oh, and especially, twisty-sandpaper %)(*$ Brett Myers.

Confidence

I feel good about Special K at the plate with 2 down and Pat on 2nd. NOT.

by Steve-O- on Jun 27, 2008 11:31 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

God damnit. God damnit. To hell with this shit. God damnit. Why the #$x%x is this team so frigging awful right now?

Oh yeah, and Brett Myers can go to hell. Ah…that’s better.

Gonna go ice my balls maybe.

Something has to be done

With Myers. What I don’t know but this has gone on way too long. Might as well come up with a phoney injury to DL him and bring Gaylord Perry out of retirement, he’d be more effective.

I am getting close to throwing in the towel. We are in the doldrums, our supplies are low and that salt water is looking mighty tasty fellas. Did anyone happen to kill an albatross?

by FuquaManuel on Jun 27, 2008 11:41 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Food for thought...

Myers’ next start is scheduled for July 3. J.A. Happ goes tomorrow for Lehigh Valley, and four days rest after that would put his next start at - you guessed it - July 3.

Just saying…
