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.

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

you also have to look at the way we lost a few of those games. Blown saves are like something brand new to us after last year.

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

well then you’ll just have to wait for the web gem nominee of Rollins catching a pop fly that hit off the speaker overhanging left field, hung for a moment, then caught the ball over his shoulder going out toward Mayberry. Tremendous concentration.

They draw like 8K a game…they want a real stadium but aren’t going to get one with this kind of attendance – this stadium wasnt built for them I don’t believe was it? It’s primarily a football stadium?

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…

yeah I think it was built for football at first and that didn’t work out. Partially why the marlins have terrible attendance is because baseball in the hot sun isn’t too appealing. (by partially I mean a small percentage, I was told so by a Marlin fan)

i think if he let up more than 2 or 3 runs, he’d get pulled. soooo no chance he could give up more than 9.
