Fish Fish Fish Fish Fish Fish Fish: Phillies at Rays Game Thread, June 23, 2009
Philadelphia Phillies at Tampa Bay Rays, Jun 23, 2009 7:08 PM EDT
It's a 2008 World Series rematch! Awesome angle! Revenge? You betcha!
Young-ass lefty David Price vs. Old-ass lefty Jamie Moyer. Will we get a standard 5 1/3 IP, 9 K, 7 BB, 110 pitch outing from Price, or will he own us like everyone else has lately? I'm picking the latter, sadly.
Discuss the game below.

Got Price on the Ropes already. 1st and 3rd, no outs.

It is probably just a fluke
keep in mind they played the Blue Jays, Red Sox and Orioles recently who are all pretty good teams (even the Orioles). I wouldnt expect 1-8 against those teams, but something like 3-6 wouldnt be all that much of a surprise
And before those games they were truly excellent at home? They’ve been bad at home all season – i think only one team in the league is worse at home than the phils so far this year – maybe two

I actually looked it up
and there are about 8 teams I think, but all of them are at the bottom of their divisions
Also, yeah they played bad at home earlier, but that doesnt mean it just wasnt a coincidence

Are miffed about the success on the road too.

She finds it very faintly sexist.
To be fair, she’s very rarely uptight about stuff like that. It might have just been spousal fatigue at the end of a very long 2008 season… though just the other day she mentioned how amazing it was when they won.
That’s cool. My wife is actually more in tune with the Eva chant than I am.

According to ESPN they average 22,700 appro at home this year (are there 22K people at that game?) – i wonder how many of those are red sox games – when the sox fans sell out.
Their average attendance this year is up ‘500 fans’ per game basically – so they’re basically flat…
