PrintPhiladelphia Phillies at New York Mets, Jul 24, 2008 12:10 PM EDT
After waiting all day and evening for the rain yesterday, they got the game in (and yours truly saw the Phils lose his first in-person viewing of the team since '06). After heavy rain all morning here in Brooklyn, it looks like they're going to play this one today as well. The Phillies could use a win for their first series victory over the Mets in four tries this season; that it would keep them in first place is nice but not really the point. The Mets are clearly the biggest threat, and the Phils have to show they're equal to it. Solving Oliver Perez, the wild but effective lefty, would be another plus: he's thrown 18 scoreless innings against the Phillies in three starts this season.

Has the broadcast team given anything on why rollins is scratched, the yahoo/ap article is amazingly uninformative about why

he was listed as the starter and then scratched, which leads me to believe it might not just be a day off

Terrible AB by Feliz in the second. The refusal to take walks probably explains why Perez, with his 4-plus ERA, is working on a streak of 20 scoreless innings against the “good” Phillies offense.
Pedro Feliz has diseased the entire line up this year, I’m convinced

I’ll tell you what… Alot of people seem to be waiting for Jamie Moyer to crash back to Earth, but I’m not so sure that’s going to happen. It’s a given that he’s not going to go out and throw complete game shutouts and such, and we all know I drive faster on the turnpike than his fastball, but the man knows how to pitch. Also, atleast you know what you’re going to get out of him… For the most part, 6 – 7 innings and 2 to 4 runs. I’d much rather have him out there than Eaton, Myers or Kendrick… I hope we bring him back, even if it’s just a year with an additional club option year… Perhaps he could just migrate over to the pitching coach’s role when he’s done… I can’t stand Dubee, Dubbe, Doooo
What’s oliver perez career high for K’s in a game?
by jemagee on Jul 24, 2008 1:09 PM EDT reply actions
not sure but he’s going to have a shot at it today i think… lots of K’s looking… are they close? are they strikes?
Infuriating
I’m watching the feed, not live action… but…
Leadoff double.
Utley hits ball to left side of infield (bad) but still manages to move the runner.
Burrell flies out to short left I guess, as no attempt to score.
Howard fans for third time today.
Situational hitting on this team is horrific.
Utlet grounded out to second… but you’re point is relevant either way… I think you can take it a step further right now and say hitting on this team is horrific right now… everyone except Burrell… and I never thought I would say that… What more do they expect from Moyer? And they can’t even score a fucking run against Oliver Perez??!
BOttom of the 7th
This is where Moyer usually starts to deteriorate if he’s going well.
Hopefully Beltran can get himself out, Tatis remebers he’s Tatis, and Easley does what he does.
The Mets are getting production from their role players lately. The phillies aren’t getting any from anybody not named Pat Burrell or Shave Victorino.
Werth with a scary catch to end the 7th.
Man, Moyer has been terrific today. I assume he’s done here. Rollins to PH, if he’s not hurt?
If he’s announced in the starting line up and then scratched, is he available?

Then probabyl worrisome that taguchi was the pinch hitter then?
by jemagee on Jul 24, 2008 2:00 PM EDT up reply actions
I thought Bruntlett had done it there.
God, Utley is just brutal right now. Looks like a bad-hitting pitcher up there.
Something’s gotta be wrong with Utley.
But then again – Perez is a wild lefty.
Utley’s season is looking eerily similar to Abreu’s before we traded him. And that was the HR Derby season I think.
Start off on a tear, hit dingers every day. Then look lost at the plate the rest of the year, especially against lefties.
I guess Bruntlett’s hit was off the top of the wall?
Chollie might be saving Rollins for a tighter spot.
Eric Bruntlett is 3-4 it’s not his fault no one behind him could do squat
by jemagee on Jul 24, 2008 2:06 PM EDT up reply actions
shakes head
yeah, that definitely should have been the change there… did they have a lefty up in the pen as well though?
Rollins is a switch hitter, seems like a perfect spot for him no?
by jemagee on Jul 24, 2008 2:10 PM EDT reply actions
The lack of rollins in that inning makes me think he is hurt, but hopefully it’s minor…or he’s being punished
by jemagee on Jul 24, 2008 2:11 PM EDT up reply actions
Man… Cancel does not look like a baseball player to me… more like a roadblock… what official position does he play anyway?
I can’t believe Mr. Stay-Puft is still out there running bases as the go ahead run… did they let him such on the Oxygen after he made it to 2nd?
Not PH-ing with Dobbs?
So what was Chollie saving Dobbs for?
So he could PH against Wagner, the Mets LH closer?
Did he forget Wagner is a lefty?
This team is seriously pathetic right now… Utley might has well go up there with a blind fold and use the Force…. Howard goes out there and puts on a Strike Out Bukake on a nightly basis… Rollins is a shadown of his MVP self… Myers and Eaton are useless piles of shit… Jury is still out on Blanton… Our catchers blow… Feliz likes swinging at everything he can…. Did I miss anything?
Patsie G. better get to GM and get this shitbox he calls a team back together… ARG!
