Upon graduation from college, Beast, Natty Light, and IC Light were eliminated completely from my pallet.
by WanderingMoses on Sep 25, 2009 8:06 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Of those three, Natty Light has the worst review on beeradvocate. It’s a real achievement to get an F.
by taco pal on Sep 25, 2009 8:10 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I retired Olympia, Red Dog, Budweiser, and Beast.
Newcastle, Guinness, Yuengling B &T, and any porter are about all that are deemed worhty now.

Yuengling is pretty much my beer of choice – will drink Corona when desperate.

It’s a nice town, but you are damn right about that. I’d rather drink piss…hell, when you drink Beast, you start wondering if that is what piss tastes like.

Rollins swung at pitch #1 and was thwarted by the foul lines.
by Bilzo on Sep 25, 2009 8:08 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I'm sorry
Batting in front of Utley/Howard makes your runs scored number somewhat irrelevant. Quit harping on it fellas. Think of how many runs J-Roll would score if he got on base at a league average clip.

Manny Parra: The latest 6+ ERA pitcher to completely stifle the Phillies’ offense?

Rollins again showed why he shouldn’t be in shouting distance of leadoff.

Booo. Bad start. Werth played that well. Stupid fast base runner.

seriously….Corey Hart is bunting with a guy at 2nd and no outs, with Braun and Fielder following him? That’s insulting.

It’s gonna be a short one from Lee tonight methinks.

Parra’s career line against the Phils:
6.1IP 16H 12R 12ER 1HR 8BB 7K 17.05 ERA 3.79 WHIP
It would be embarrassing to get shut down by him.

seriously Cliff….first you go all “toro toro” style on a ball back through the middle you could’ve easily snared, then you don’t throw to second on a gimme force out. Wimp.

L.A. on the Nationals
“They can swing the bat. Outside of that, they have no baseball skills. It’s pathetic. They shouldn’t even be out on the field.”
by taco pal on Sep 25, 2009 8:44 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
That’s kinda hypocritical considering he isn’t really complaining about our record being padded at their expense.
by FuquaManuel on Sep 25, 2009 8:48 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I’m not really an L.A. guy, but it isn’t hypocritical so long as everyone else in our division gets to play them 18x too.
by taco pal on Sep 25, 2009 8:49 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
It’s hypocritical for him to be whining about them losing to the Braves when we got to beat up on them too.
by FuquaManuel on Sep 25, 2009 8:51 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
That implication was in the background, but he didn’t really connect the thoughts explicitly. He was just being ornery.

When you’re facing an immortal like Manny Parra, it’s tough not to go up there almost pre-beaten.

Yep, know the feeling…..Tomo Ohka, Tim Redding, anyone else I am missing….oh yeah, Anibal Sanchez.
by WanderingMoses on Sep 25, 2009 8:49 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Ohka?
I don’t think Sanchez fits. That guy is actually pretty talented.
But I definitely would have said Yusmeiro Petit.
by taco pal on Sep 25, 2009 8:53 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Right, forgot about Petit. That was an infuriating game in against the D’Bags.

Mark Redman…..that guy owned us. And he was supersucky.

who is this manny parra guy, and why don’t we have a hit against him?
seriously…..at start of game he had whip of 1.84 and we don’t have a baserunner? Finish this crap off, Philzos.

Rollins was determined to earn his place on the base paths.
Man….their fielding is the suckiest suck that ever sucked…..well……at least since the Nats.

Howard with the two run strike, overtakes Fielder in RBIs… IF it’s ruled a hit.

He’s incredibly streaky for a non-streaky player.

What’s his deal lately?
by RaptorLC on Sep 25, 2009 9:03 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
and y’all harrass me for not being as enamored as the rest wrt his performance this year. I stick to the label of “poor man’s Adam Dunn” since he is whiff/walk/homer, without the # of homers that Dunn supplies.

They give Howard the hit and thus 2 RBI

After tonight, we're 6 games up with 9 to go...
… and hoping there is not another Phold of ’64 in the works.
Possible, however unlikely. No matter how unlikely, it is technically possible and not as far-fetched an idea as one might think. Consider the schedules:
Phillies – 2 more against the Brewers, 4 against the Astros (whom we can’t beat), 3 against the Marlins (always trouble).
Braves – 6 more against the Nationals, 3 against the Marlins.
Given our on-and-off pitching of late – especially in the bullpen – and given how well the Braves are playing right now (12-2 in their last 14), it is a definite possibility.
Just sayin’. I know tonight is “just one game,” but we had better take care of business because we’re not going to get any help.

As of the conclusion of NL East games tonight, the Phightin have a six game lead.
The magic number holds at 4 for the Braves and 2 for the Marlins,
with 9 games to play for Phils and Braves and 8 for Florida.
For the Braves to win they must go 9-0, while we go 2-7.
and for Florida,well, they must go 8-0 and we must lose all 9.
So you see, my friend, if we only win 3 games they rest of the season, one per series is definitely doable, and since they play a series against each other, one of them will not go unbeaten (hoping its both of them) the rest of the season.
Quod erat demonstrandum ( Q.E.D.), that basically means we are in.
How far we go from there is anyone’s guess.

lidge only gave up one run this outing. that’s (sadly) better than average in one of his outings.
by Bilzo on Sep 25, 2009 10:08 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
It also helps isolate the problem(s)....
Lidge can’t close games and sucks balls in the 9th.
The Phillies bullpen as a whole can’t close game and sucks balls in the 9th.
Lidge still suck in the 7th.
At least we’ve isolated one problem. Now to miracle up someone who doesn’t give up 1-3 runs in the 9th each game…

This SHOULD be the nail in Lidge’s coffin. Failure to pitch a clean frame in garbage time should be a clear indicator to Cholly that he can’t be trusted in any situation. Shut him down.
by FuquaManuel on Sep 25, 2009 10:09 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Murphy's Law prediction...
Brewers win tonight by a score of 8-7. Philly’s late rally falls short, and Lidge’s mop up failure ends up still being the deciding run, because really… who would have it any other way?

5 runs in 2 innings is a lot to ask of these oft-impotent lineup.

Wouldn’t be the first time something like that has happened to us.
by FuquaManuel on Sep 25, 2009 10:23 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
That's one consolation...
Sort of at least.
Florida’s quickly becoming irrelevant this season through no effort by our part. Of course with Atlanta still playing strong (and having an utter joke of a schedule if the Marlins should roll over for them), it might end up having Florida play us with our season on the line while they try to do to us what they did to the Mets for the last two years. I can’t say I like that idea…
