Philadelphia Phillies at Arizona Diamondbacks, Jul 29, 2009 9:40 PM EDT
Well, yes, I'm afraid there's a baseball game tonight to distract us from New Shiny Thing Cliff Lee.
Former Future-Former Phillie J.A. Happ squares off against Yusmeiro Petit.
Discuss the game below.

by CoburnsCuddleBuddy on Jul 29, 2009 9:58 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
After thinking about it, I like it. Happ’s postseason spot is going to be as an important member of the bullpen. He isn’t likely to get a postseason start, so, might as well start getting him used to being in the pen now.

Happ-iness is...
… the bullpen for J.A. I agree, he’s filled in quite nicely for the injured Myers. But assuming Martinez is healthy, you know he’s going to start. They’re definitely not sticking Moyer in the ’pen.
So you have Hamels, Lee, Blanton, Moyer and Martinez. If someone gets hurt they can call on Happ or Lopez. And the healthy Myers will bullpen it up like it’s 2007.
“Bullpen” is now a verb as well as a noun.

Gradually we will take the English language back, so long as “bullpen” can still be a verb.

Curious
I have a feeling that the Phillies are grooming Jim Jackson to take over as the commentator. He’s been on the radio for a while, he seems to know what he’s talking about, and he’s a solid announcer. I heard him during last Saturday’s game and I thought he did a good job.
Plus, since he’s been the voice of the Flyers for a while, he will be recognizable to a lot of Philly sports fans. The familiarity thing is always good. (Wheels is even more familiar, of course, but he’s not the best announcer in the world.)
Am I completely sideways or do you guys agree?

Too bad it won’t be Sunday – I think they said that game was going to be the TBS game of the week. I wonder if that means Moyer pitches on Sunday and Hamels not until Tuesday vs. Colorado or if they’ll stick with Hamels on Sunday and give Moyer extra rest until Tuesday. That might not be a bad idea, since it would still allow Moyer to come back on normal rest against the Marlins in his next start.

Even with two productive outs, it should be a tie game.

Didn’t watch it – just saw double and a spot on the center field wall. I guess thanks to both.

Feliz? it’s like giving up already. I’d rather Stairs vs a lefty.

Glad Charlie managed us out of that inning. Even if you burn Stairs, you at least have Feliz bat against a lefty.

Oh well.
It’s not all Feliz’s fault. At least he made contact.
0 for 7 with RISP, including 5 K’s. Not our night tonight.
Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?

“Eyre” Snyder, 3-0.
Here and I was just going to respond that we’re still set up okay for the 8th and 9th, lineup-wise.

Definitely not our night tonight.

I don’t count this team out, particularly against the DBacks and their Russian roulette style of defense.

it appears our offense left for San Francisco during the day

The Ball Buster broke it again.

Eyre surprised me with that 1.77 ERA, must have felt like he had to conform it to my expectations.

I guess “consummated” works, but it sounds funny.

has to be. something in his nose. OK, so now my faith is flagging.
Well, two days left to trade Cliff Lee back for our old offense.
by Wet Luzinski on Jul 29, 2009 11:58 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
ok, so now we can officially say that the trade was yesterday, so let’s put it behind us all and WIN THE GAME.

Maybe Charlie is putting Bruntlett in to see if he is worth keeping. Probably dreaming but would be great. kind of icing on the cake!

Do ya’ll getting frustrated w/ our 3rd base coach?? I am.

Yeah, I wish he was a little more aggressive with sending runners tonight.

The last few innings it looked like Charlie could careless and just wanted to get to San Fran to see his new pitcher and hitter. All well, you can’t win them all!

Bleh
This has been a really sucky baseball day. Well, aside from the Cliff Lee thing.

yeah, it is like losing one game is the end of the world, which is actually pretty awesome if you think about it

haha, damn, the last game I went to the bar and watched was Happs blow up against the Cubs – I gotta stop going to the bar to watch games and just be content with the radio, they win all of those games!
