RE: Phillies stop sucking.

I wonder if that is too much to ask

It was very lucky, he was still trying to pull the damn thing and it happened to find a hole. But alas, I’ll take it.

Radio guys were just discussing the Mets and Furries

I have to say that this was fairly amusing. Evidently, the Mets were disturbed in the hotel last night by a Furries convention. Google it, if you dare.

The implication wasn’t the missing decimal point, it was that you called them .300 hitters and I was calling them hitters happening to be hitting .300. A shot at them.

WP to the backscreen. McCann throws to Gonzalez who gets Werth sliding head first.

Wheeler now bitching that Werth should have slid feet first.

This is what happens when your starting pitching can’t even average 6 IP per start and the bullpen gets ridden heavily for the entire first half of the season.

Amazingly enough Madson wasn’t ready to step into the closer role. I honestly can’t believe what I’ve seen this month. Whether it is the lack of hitting, the fact that Jimmy still swings at the first pitch every time and can’t get on base, or the stints on the DL. We really need another quality starter. Oh, and that was just great. Wonderful

Looks like a weekend of incredibly inept baseball with the way these two teams are playing now.

by Wet Luzinski on Jul 2, 2009 10:23 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Echoing Dajafi, it just might not be our year. Next year we should have Drabek and/or Carrasco and/or Michael Taylor with the major league club. We will have a Cole Hamels who might be recharged after throwing 10000000 innings in 2008. Then again, we will still have a geriatric Ibanez who will be extremely unlikely to remain healthy and perform at a level so significantly above his career norms and we will still have a Jimmy Rollins who appears to have lost all the skill/intelligence necessary to be even a mediocre offensive baseball player.

In a word: flags fly forever.

by FuquaManuel on Jul 2, 2009 10:18 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Yeah but..

I’m beging to think Rollins no longer cares now that he got his MVP and WS Title. yes flags are forever, but we should be playing better. i don’t expect a WS title or a divisin crown every year for that matter, but 4-14 is pathetic..
