Philadelphia Phillies at Texas Rangers, Jun 29, 2008 6:05 PM EDT

LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL!!

Chase Utley and Ryan Howard showed glimpses of their former (true?) selves last night, smacking home runs off Space Cadet Vicente Padilla, and the bullpen held on by its fingertips as the Phils won 8-6.

Tonight we have Rangers rookie Eric Hurley squaring off against former Texas Ranger Jamie Moyer. Hurley was 3 years old when Moyer joined the Rangers. Moyer is coming off a game last week against Oakland where he struck out nine batters in under seven innings, but lost 5-2 after a seventh inning meltdown.

Hopefully the Phils' lineup can feast on Hurley, a righty who has surrendered three home runs in 17 innings pitched this season. And by me typing that, I have condemned us to a thrilling 7 inning, 4 hit, 1 ER performance.

Be good, kids.

Leadoff “triple” for Kinsler. I use the term triple loosely considering that Kinsler reached 3rd base mainly because Chase Utley’s limited defensive capabilities allowed him to.

Moyer just doesn’t have it tonight.

Considering that Moyer appears to have absolutely nothing tonight, I think it might be appropriate to consider taking him out already.

God damn Ryan Howard. They had Hamilton picked off and Howard not only takes all day to throw down to second but he delivers a miserable throw.

Geesh just woke up from my nappy-poo and see the boys are down 3-0. See Hurley has ‘em baffled so far.

Any pitcher could baffle these clowns right now.

IF this team puts a couple of wins together.

It’s mind boggling. Being in first all they have to do is win instead about worrying about another division team losing, but maybe they’ll pick it up when the Fish jump into first. The Phils have pissed away so many opportunities to pull away but I guess it’s a wonder they aren’t buried down in the standings. Some game this baseball.

This ump is ass crack awful.

If we don’t get some offense against the Rangers weak bullpen I think I am going to throw up.

Flliz, Werth and Ruiz looked less than stellar. Speaking of Ruiz…nah forget it.

I am still FULLY in favor of Ryan Madson becoming our 8th inning guy. He has been super.

Yeah Gordon has to be a concern. I like Durbin so far too.

by Steve-O- on Jun 29, 2008 8:31 PM EDT reply actions

Gordon is hurt and does not belong in any game that is within 6 runs.

by FuquaManuel on Jun 29, 2008 8:33 PM EDT up reply actions

This is just painful. Hard to watch a team with this much offensive potential perform so poorly (with a few exceptions).

by FuquaManuel on Jun 29, 2008 8:36 PM EDT reply actions

Yes it is and the board tells the story. Where are all the people that were posting and into it when the Phils were on the winning stresk? I know it’s Sunday with family doings etc. but they’ll be back when the team puts a coupla wins together. (I think).
