This game was annoying! Glad to see Pat hit number ten! Too bad nobody was on base when he did it.

Why is Condrey pitching after Romero? Charlie’s depserate at this point.

Rudy Seanez doesnt do much for me. He started the year off well, but theres NO excuse for having 3 junk guys in your bullpen. Seanez, Madson, and Condrey need to be replaced with upgrades. I dont care how much money it costs, I dont care about their spending limit. Go get the tools needed to get the job done.

wow lyle overbay smoked that ball.

ok so the flyers look like theyre done unless a miracle occurs. i expect them to win the stanley cup next year provided they resign carter and add some stability on the blue line by getting rid of hatcher and replacing smith.

now all efforts are focused on the phillies. im going to demand the very best out of them from here on out. they dont stink, but they need to improve the staff and the pen and the lineup in order to win a world series.

Well, as we all know im very hard on them. see, i dont think they stink. they obviously dont stink in reltaion to their competition. theyre not up to the standards i have for them, though. when i say that i mean, i dont think theyre good enough to win a championship. if they stunk they would be in last place. theyre just not good enough to win a championship UNTIL they get another quality starter. then they will be a very good team. right now, theyre just good. not bad, not great, just good. their rotation is another story, however. it does stink. you have three pitchers out of five that you cringe when they go out there (Eaton, moyer, myers). mike t, you dont want to see them stinking. i remember when they stunk. i dont ever want to go through that again.

also, im sorry but they need to upgrade the 5th outfield spot over so taguchi. charlies trying but he cant even justify sending him out there. i want taguchi replaced by a right-handed bat off the bench who can provide some power and doesnt strike out all the time when he gets in the game.

Mike T. -

The Flyers are down 4-0 at the end of 2. Do you think they can come back to win the series?

“A cynic is a man who, when he smells flowers, looks around for a coffin.”
Henry Louis Mencken (1880-1956) American journalist, satirist and social critic.

My first impression about your non-stop, repetitive one-liner.. “they are not a good team” smacks of being petulant and a desire for attention. You seem to derive special satisfaction in stirring feedback to your negative comments. Incessant negativity can blind side your attempts with sound judgement.

However, I believe in giving a benefit of a doubt to each and everyone.
I do appreciate constructive criticism when given here. So, Mike T, I’m fairly new here and you may have went into your specifics on the team’s weaknesses and strengths some time ago. I would appreciate and maybe few others here as well if you repeat those specifics so that we can better understand your pessimism.

This is a good chance for Durbin to make his case for a starting spot.

Mike T, I would like to officially name you the Billy Wagner of this website. Congratulations. While you may have decent knowledge about baseball, your obnoxious nature removes any credibility from your arguments.

I will not tend to the ignorant.

My website is nothing serious, I use it to test/publish small projects.

Yeah, your Web site is weird

Mike T. is a moron

Mike T. is really ignorant and arrogant, take a chill pill. You probably dont know much about the Phils, by the way that you are talking. Ignorance is really unnatractive, just to let you know.

My comments are serious – and I don’t need attention – and I probably know more about the Phillies than the people who criticize me. I know this team, I know what we can do, and I know what we can’t do. And I know what we need to win a World Series – and we don’t have it right now. This is not a sound baseball team. Do you know what sound means?

“sound” (adjective): uninterrupted and untroubled, vigorous, thorough

The Phillies are not a sound team. If you’re someone who thinks otherwise, you absolutely know nothing about this organization, from the management down to the players on the field.

This blog is a place for people to vent. So, if you don’t like it, ignore it. But hey, if you want to criticize me, and tell me that I’m doing this for attention, then go ahead – bask in your own ignorance, I’m not stopping you.

I don’t even take anything you say seriously and you probably just do it for attention.
