And on the fourth day, they try to get above .500. Again.
It’s the fifth time the Phillies will try and get above the mediocre mark; if our team’s trend says anything, it’s that they’ll lose tonight — but hey, that ain’t happening. Brett Myers is coming off his second-straight solid start while Colorado starter Jeff Francis has had one good start this season, and that was at Petco Park. Francis beat the Phils in game one of the 2007 NLDS.
The offense got going yesterday with some clutch hits; tonight they’ll try and rip off a few more en route to a two-game sweep in Denver. Phillies Nation is at the game.
Phillies: Brett Myers (2-1), 3.96 ERA
Rockies: Jeff Francis (0-2), 5.89 ERA
Gametime: 8:35 p.m.
Weather: 59 degrees, mostly sunny
Lineup: Taguchi/Werth/Utley/Howard/Burrell/Feliz/Ruiz/Bruntlett/Myers

Your gamenight beer: So our great public relations director, Rob Cowie, wanted me to recommend Miller Lite tonight. I’m happy to oblige. Here’s Rob’s recommendation: “Quite simply I hate Coors and its products. Even though Miller Lite isn’t a top-flight beer … it’s great for binge drinking and beer pong tournaments. It would also go great with a cheesesteak from either Frusco’s or Chink’s, Northeast Philly style.” What, Rob, no Steve’s Prince of Steaks?
Go Phillies!

Miller Lite, Coors Light, Bud Light – they’re all horrible.

They should’ve got more out of that one. You get gifts, you run with them.

The Phils seem to be hitting the ball a lot better – not many hits, but a lot of hard hit balls.

It takes the Phillies 15 minutes to score a run; takes the Rockies 2 minutes. That’s the difference of clutch hitting.

Burrell should not have dove for that ball and rather cut it off instead. It would kept Hawpe to a double.

Phillies hitters need to pretend that the bases are always empty.

Yeah, the Phils have to take better advantage of this park.

Ovechkin certainly doesn’t suck, but I’m glad it’s over — I couldn’t take much more of the love-fest for him.

I think they’ll at least tie it back up. But that’s me and my optimism.

Yes, Jayson Werth smoked that ball outta there. What a great win by the flyers, redeeming themselves in a tough game 7.

Ah, sometimes I like having Jayson in better than Shane, don’t tell my friend though, she’s obsessed with Shane.

Jenkins just took 3 really bad upward golf swing rips that looked terrible

Jenkins is worthless right now. Over and over.

yeah he basically hasnt done anything all year. contributed to a few wins but not much else. no consistence, no clutch hitting. not enough HR not enough RBI

Boy, Dobbs is a hell of a pinch hitter.

It’ll be Taguchi, Werth, Utley. I’d think Coste comes in to catch and Harman takes over at shortstop.

Can they pinch-hit Taguchi with Hamels in the 9th? Once Snelling is back they should So to the minors.
