Phillies Nation

My digital guide says it is on Fox.

The Phillies suck. I expect a 1-0 loss. Teixera will hit a home run off of Hamels in the top of the 8th, and it will be the only hit Hamels allows. The Philles will have 2 hits(Shane Victorino and Carlos Ruiz), 14 k’s, 2 walks, 3 bats dropped from bad swings, 4 dirty looks at umpires for looking at a strike down the middle, 2 arguments with an umpire, the stadium erupting into boos 7 times, and Jimmy Rollins will get benched.

Gillick just said on the radio that everyone is giving 100%. Roliins is clearly not. Swinging at the first pitch every time is not giving 100%. Rollins also is getting doubled up and hasn’t had an infield single in 10 months.

Hampton is either going to pitch an 8 inning gem today, get blown out of the game in the second inning, or get injured in the first inning. If Hampton pitches a great game, Hamels will as well, but give up a solo home run or two which will put the game out of reach for the offense. I think the bullpen will bounce back (if this game and down the stretch) but Eaton (realistically Condrey but Eaton is worse than Condrey despite the difference in salaries) should be DFA’ed for a good lefty reliever, several of which are still available which the trade deadline fast approaching.

oh, and Bear Mike, I like Burrell going deep today too. He loves those lefties.

Burrell is hitting .133 lifetime against Hampton in 30 AB’s with 2 doubles. I say he gets on the board today.

That was a good play. At least their defense has been solid. Pitching, D, and situational hitting is supposed to win us games. Too bad they only have 2 out of 3.

True, pat does have 100 more HR’s against righties than lefties, but there are many more RHP in MLB than lefties, so it’s all relevant. Statistically speaking, though he has a higher ratio and a much better avg against lefties I believe.

Pat hits righties better. He kills a rightie with a slider. Pat can actually hit the breaking ball. He loves sliders that shoot across the plate and down to his ankles that are thrown by righties. He kills those.

There we go Pat. Now let’s get them in!

ugh…. bases loaded for the catcher… dp.

nevermind

It’s about damn time.

Another poor at bat…The frustration stems from a lack of an approach leading to poor at bats. Obviously they are’nt going to get a hit or move runners everytime, but check swings with runners in scoring position in a hitter’s count are ridiculous.

used cars right

WTF!!!! 6-3!!!!!!!! Make that a double F-me!!

Well, this game imploded fast. Thanks Cole.

I leave for 15 minutes and come back to see a 6-3 game!!! WTF!?!

that’s the comercial!

fucking unbelieveable. i’ve had enough

Wow, can Hamels only pitch well when he gets no run support?

They play it all the time here in the Lehigh Valley. My wife regularly mocks it when he hits into a double play.

Looks like we’re finishing in 4th this year.

Well folks,

We were planning on going to Chesapeake City for dinner, but I have suddenly lost my appetite! 9-3??????? Cole is toast! Let’s look on the bright side, we still have 5 at bats. This team could easily do that when they are running on all cylinders. Triple F-me!!!!!!

Over the last week, this team may have made the quickest slide from buyers to sellers in a long time. Hypothetically, if the FO decides to become sellers, what players would they realistically be willing to part with, and what players would other teams want?
