PrintPhiladelphia Phillies at Toronto Blue Jays, Jun 26, 2009 7:07 PM EDT
Not trying to get all maudlin or Nick Cave on everyone (although the state of the team right now may warrant it), but it was on this site nearly 16 years ago that Joe Carter dashed our hopes and killed one of the more entertaining baseball team's the city would ever know.
That was then, this is now: Cole Hamels (who was 9 friggin' years old in 1993) goes against Ricky Romero (not to be confused with the Fark.com meme) tonight at Rogers Centre, the renamed SkyDome.
Discuss the game below.

No one here or atleast not writing. wonder why? I could not even watch the game last 2 nights, had to turn the channel.
Anyway, finally a 1,2,3 inning for Hammels. ONly 1 3-2 count this inning.
Phillies just have the uncanny ability to turn every pitcher, regardless of his experience or quality into an ace.
I stand in awe.

Scott Rolen continues to slow-burn the Phillies.

I can’t remember a team with the ability to look unbeatable one night and then follow that up by looking like complete dog shit as well as this team has this year…

At this rate, probably, the Phillies look like an American Legion team against professionals.

No-no through 6. Although my feeling is that the final score will be 4-3.

Yeah, if the Phillies are going to be this bad, they might as well be bad for nine innings.

If only there was such a hit where you could score 4 whole runs with one swing of a bat!

Such crazy talk!

Yes see, but there is also a play where you can make two outs with one swing of the bat which would be so much more consistent with the tenor of things recently.
Actually, i thought it was going to be a triple play, given that I initially thought it was a line drive.

He keeps throwing the slider right into the ground. It needs to have a little bit more elevation to be effective.
