PrintPhiladelphia Phillies at Atlanta Braves, Sep 26, 2011 7:10 PM EDT
The scuffling Phillies head to Atlanta for the final three games of the regular season against a Braves team left fighting for its postseason life, leading the Cardinals by just one game for the National League Wild Card spot.
You're going to hear lily-livered cowards talk about laying down for the Braves this weak to ease their entry into the playoffs ahead of the red-hot Cardinals. I want none of that. I want 102 victories, which would set a franchise record for wins and give Charlie Manuel sole possession of the winningest Phillies manager spot.
To that end, Cliff Lee takes the hill looking for his 17th victory and a desperate last-gasp Cy Young Award push. The Braves counter with Randall Delgado.
Discuss the game below.

Lee gives up a good number of homers compared to the other four. It’s upsetting.

more than Hamels?

I guess I notice Hamels more cause it is always at the worst time in the 6 or 7 inning and the game is close.

Other 4 who? Phillies? I think only Doc’s HR rates are worlds above the rest. Everyone else is above average but similar to each other

I meant to say 3 not considering Worley. But yes the Phils pitchers. Maybe it’s just my perception however.

I just don’t think he’s a natural fielder. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a very good fielder but I think he really had to work on it. Reflex -wise he’s excellent but his footwork and his how he throws – very forced. Polly and Jimmy have flow. Ut is a bit choppy and mechanical.
He isn’t. Charlie Manuel even told him at one point that he was going to have to become a better fielder if he wanted to play every day.

If Pence had stuck his tongue out more, I think he would have caught it.

I just Wiki’d it. They were America’s Team in the late 70’s and were referenced as such by Sports Illustrated as late as 1982. WTBS gave them this nickname because their games were available on national television.

During the 90’s a lot of TBS’s promos referred to the Braves as America’s Team. I’ve heard at least a few people still try to say that the Braves are the most popular team in the United States, on the grounds that their radio network has affiliates all over the south.

in general Atlanta is just a terrible sports town. None of their teams draw that well. Hockey has failed there twice. Even their NASCAR race has had attendance issues in recent years.

Just a thought – but Cliff Lee hating to give up walks might have hurt him in pitching to Gonzalez with a non-hitter in Delgado on deck and one out. At the least he could have pitched around Gonzalez and probably avoided the double he got.

Anyone else wondering how rare Uggla’s weird ratio of high number of home runs to low number of RBI is? Probably not, but I was curious. He’s got nothing on Rob Deer’s 1992 season, where he hit 32 homers & had 64 RBI.
The weird thing is that Bonds’ 2001 (137 RBI to 73 HR) is (I think) the lowest ratio of anyone who ever hit 20+ home runs (ratio of 1.88). You’re welcome!
well yeah but the Giants of that era was Barry Bonds and a bunch of people who couldn’t get on base if their life depended on it.

What I like about the two wild care races right now is the fact that each of the four games (today) means so much. In each league there could be a two-way tie for the lead with two games to go. Or the Braves and/or Red Sox could have a two-game lead with two games to go. Quite a big difference from each result tonight.
