Not sure why but in england most people refer to it as the wife beaters drink. Maybe next time Myers starts it should be the beer of choice

There was no doubt Ruiz was hitting into the DP…….Moyer is the number 2 on this staff that’s not going to get it done.

Is there anyone who can explain what Coste did to deserve the shitty treatment he gets……I thought for sure he would start with Moyer they usually work well together.

Luckily the whole division continues to get its ass kicked Great to watch that tool Scott Olsen lose his decision after the Maroone Call to the Bullpen blew up in Florida’s faces last night. And looked like the same old mets again last night

Time for the Phils to wake up start hitting and build a division lead. Bench Ruiz cut Taguchi and let’s go!

Stella is good. This losing streak is KILLING me.

Can we sign Chuck Norris to a one-day contract?

I actually really like Stella.

I actually really hate this losing streak right now.

I actually went to bed with the Phils up one and Moyer cruising, and wake up to this. Ugh.

coste calls a good game, according to many of the pitchers who have thrown to him. If you read his book then you’ll see just how many pitchers have requested that he starts behind the late when they start a game. Anyhow, he could call an absoloutly horrible game and still be more productive than Ruiz right now. If you go on baseball prospectus and check out their VORP’s than you’ll see that Coste is 11.0 or something and Ruiz is the least productive Phillie, with a VORP of -4. Jenkins and Ruiz both need to be benched, but i think Feliz has done ok this year, actually exceeding my expectations offensively whilst being as good as advertised at the hot corner.

Yeah, he did, but he shoulda won his last 2 starts. His offense didn’t help him out those games. He was also part of a 20 win start, which will boost his run support. He had a good streak there, but look at the game against the Marlins where he shut them down through 8 innings on 3 runs support. Only 1 of those 3 runs were earned too. He let up 6 runs in 12 innings in his past 2 starts. That’s not too shabby if you ask me, especially for a 45 year old man.

Phil:

Try again.

As recently as two starts ago, Jamie Moyer led the league in run support.

Hamels should be 11-3 and Moyer should be 9-3 right now, but this offense fucks so much up for them.

This offense is pathetic right now. Everyone has been bashing Howard all year, but he’s been the only one doing anything lately. Then he has 2 bad games in a row and everyone bashes him again.

ok it’s done. time to be positive now…a 5 game winning streak starts tomorrow! What do you think?

By: Adam C.

Adam C. — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 04:32:21 +0000

I just want Feliz to get on base, so this can end with a Ruiz strike out or weak ground out…just get him out of town, please.

That’s it! Give up Phillies.

Jenkins should watch Cust’s instructional hitting video

I can’t believe I stayed up for this crap. 2 outs in the 9th, and Romero serves one up…

greg, what are you basing that on? A number of pitchers (current and past Phillies) are recorded as saying they love throwing to Chris. And i’ve never noticed a clear difference in terms of throwing arm, etc.

By: Phil

Phil — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 04:24:33 +0000

Wow, Romero does not pitch well in the bay area.

By the way, Brian I think pulling pitchers is Charlie’s second biggest problem because it’s once again not wanting to tell someone they aren’t producing even if they’re trying their hardest (which is something that Charlie pushes for as he should)

I think Coste may call horseshit games. Ruiz is better defensively.
