Hey Nineteen: Phillies 10, Marlins 5

PrintHe has had prettier games, but with the help of his lineup, Roy Halladay was good enough to win his 19th game tonight as the Phillies wrapped up a three game sweep of the Marlins in Florida.
Halladay became the National League's first nineteen game winner of 2010, and the first Phillies' hurler to win 19 games since John Denny in his 1983 Cy Young season. He threw six innings tonight, allowing three runs on ten hits and striking out nine.
Raul Ibanez led the Phillies' offensive attack, collecting three hits, two runs scored, and two runs batted in. Ryan Howard went hitless, but managed to walk three times, scoring two runs. Chase Utley hit his fifteenth home run of the season off the right field foul pole in the third inning.
In the ninth, and in a non-save situation, Brad Lidge picked a good night to struggle with his command. The closer walked three in just a third of an inning, including a bases loaded walk that resulted in the Marlins' fifth run. Jose Contreras replaced Lidge and quickly retired the last two hitters of the game for the "Save."
With the Braves' loss this afternoon against the Nationals, the Phillies now sit three games ahead in the National League East.

Interestingly, he has a 2.40 ERA in his last five starts. Bad K/BB though.
I have a mild hunch that maybe Ben Francisco should get to play this game, because Marquis is the closest thing I can think of to a NL version of Andy Sonnanstine. And one extra rest day for Ibanez or Victorino wouldn’t be a bad thing. Charlie would never do it though.
I don't think you can bench ibanez
He is on one of his hot streaks right now, also he usually kills the nats.

I’m pulling for these Giants, to avoid the Braves and the Rockies

I want the Braves and Cox to end his career not making the playoffs. I want the Giants over the Rockies because I prefer baseball games to be played in above 40 degree temperatures

I agree about the Braves...
but, I would rather face the Rockies than the Giants in the playoffs. The Phillies do not play well at AT&T Park, and have struggled hitting the top part of the Giants pitching. While Colorado is cold, the Phillies took two of three there, and six of seven from the Rockies this season. Moreover, they can hit the Rockies pitching. So, while I would prefer the Padres to any of the other choices, better the Rockies than the Giants.
I'm pulling for the Rockies
…only because I live here in Colorado and love going down to Coors Field to watch the Phils light it up against the Rockies. 9 runs in the 7th inning last time the Phils were here.
I loved that inning!
I was riding home from dinner with my Mom, tracking the game on AtBat the whole way. When Chase came up to bat with the bases loaded and two outs, my mom said “Get a damn hit, Chase”. When AtBat showed the Grand Slam, I busted out laughing so hard that I could not tell her the result of the play!
Why not listen to it on the radio?

what about LA? he’s always good for a laugh or two…

it’s a package deal unfortunatetly, and LA can grate as well. I know picking on the announcers is borderline trite, but…..to those of you too young to remember ashburn and kalas together, well….you really missed out, and I have a hard time thinking anything is ever going to come close to those guys in their prime.
it looks like a tremendously tedious song to play on the piano

I missed the game thread, but why Madson. Is Cholly trying to kill Ryan?
Lex clavatoris designati rescindenda est.
Me too (was following it on my phone) and me too. I would guess it’s that they’ve got the off day tomorrow. In the larger sense, Madson’s two-month DL stint will mean that he won’t approach his usual innings total even if Cholly uses him every day, and with a late lead I understand the urge to step on the throat.
I guess, but it still seemed needlessly Torre-like.
(as an aside, Met fans seem to think Torre will be Mets mgr next season)

Do they LIKE that idea?
Wouldn’t that be like Dotty Henson coaching Kit Keller’s kid’s little league team?

They seem to think any change is good change now. I don’t know if Torre could do too much with this crew. I think they need a GM to come in there and clean house to get them some more pitching. Cupboard’s bare and money’s tight.

Agree on all points
But I don’t think Bullpen Torre is the right answer….

Agreed— while Manuel is probably not the answer in New York (and I will be shocked if he is in Flushing beyond this year), I do not think anybody can come in there as a manager and do much until a new GM comes in and has the ability to clean house. They need an infusion of new blood, particularly pitching. Until that happens, all the kings horses, and all the kings men can’t put the team from Queens back together again.
they don’t need that much switch up. Wiright/Reyes/Davis is a pretty good starting point to build around.
Yeah, it seems to me that Minaya’s failings have been in not surrounding those guys with solid role players and scrap heap bargains. To use the Phillies as an example, sure they’re in great shape with Utley, Howard, and Rollins, but what keeps them from being a top heavy team is the presence of guys like Werth and Victorino, who were scarfed up as freely available talent.
