I betThe Phillies are going to be out of first place by the All-Star break. Last season was just a gift (thanks, Mets) and this season is merely a tease. We are just not that good. Maybe next year?

Err ahh.. those stats are for the month of June…

humina…
Here is some of what looks like for the books;
Rollins – .217
Victorino – .235
Utley – .266
Howard – .234
Burrell – .256
Werth – .277
Feliz – .250
Coste – .267 (2 for 16 in July so far, a .125 ba)
And the fan favorite – Carlos Ruuizzz – .178 for the entire month of June.

How many people are actually a little pumped by how the game finished up last night? How many games have the Phils come back to win this year after giving up an 8 spot (or close to it)?

Theyre underachieving too. But still overrated.

Well, the Giants are good but I’m not really afraid of the Jets, Knicks, Yankees, or Mets. The only thing those teams dominate is last place in their respective divisions and running a train on nyc pimpdaddy’s sister. I guess its not that big a deal since “nyc pimp daddy” is really a “bayonne mom’s basement”

Adam Eaton has allowed (not inlcuding errors) 168 base runners in 103 innings pitched. Nearly 2 base runners per inning!!! That is a major recipe for trouble.

We aren’t overrated, we’re underachieving.

Fran – I have been to a few of Eaton’s games as well -
6/20 gave up 6 runs in 5 innings
5/17 gave up 4 runs in 5 innings
5/06 gave up 4 runs in 6 innings
4/20 gave up 4 runs in 5 innings
4/25 gave up 3 runs in 3.2 innings

Are you saying this level of mediocrity is acceptable?
“If our starter can hold the opposing team to under 6 runs we have a chance” – we have been saved this year so far by the BP – this is very unusual for the Phillies.

We need someone to light the fire. Like I said in an earlier post – wouldn’t Rowand be a sweet addition batting behind Burrell?

Theyll have to pay him like 16mm + to go away too. but its worth it.

they also have to completely retool their lineup because its gotten stale. need a new everyday presence in the lineup who doesnt suck against good pitching. sorry but they do.

and of course they need a reliver and a starter and no, not brett myers.

this was a sickening loss of a series. the mets suck, toally suck and they took 3 of 4 in here because this lineup cant hit OLIVER PEREZ! and that other garbage. they actually got to santana which is strange and then sucked against the rest of it. they did hit well last night, but oh wait, adam eaton gave up 8 runs!rj swinle was more effective than adam eaton and actually should stay with this team.

Phillies = OVERRATED!

lets give some kudos here to Rivlez for being a baseball fan first and not a complete douch like so many of the other Mets fans that have posted here. There seems to be 2 types of Mets fan, 1: the normal happy cheery person who happens to be unlucky enough to support the Mets and 2: Complete douchebags who’s command of the english language and debating skills make George Bush look like a Harvad scholar…

I fear this series will have an impact when we get down to the business end of the season. The Phils didn’t take thier chances when it mattered and played poorly as a team which impacted on the bullpen, it was going to get tagged at some point and our number was up not because they pitched poorly but the offense couldn’t come through when they were given the chance on sucessive nights. There was a great point in the season when the team was winning (and taking losses) without the drama and it’s time we got back to that.

Eaton’s all but done as a feature in this rotation as the FO will acquire a starter and Myers will be back up very soon. I hope we relegate Eaton to mop up but he’s looking as a surefire DFA to be released in the next 10 days or so.

As a Met fan I am disgusted that Cole Hamels did not make the all-star team. That is f*ckin ridiculous. He pitches with a 3.28 ERA in a little league field basically and he gets no respect. I don’t know about you phillies fans, that is terrible.

The Mets are like a wounded beast and the Phils just poked at it and then gave it water and a blanket. Two things are sure here, The Mets will get better and the Phils have to play better as a team, there’s too many individual performances going on right now and the only part of the team working effectively as a unit is the bullpen.

fuck off mets fans, get a life. 2.5 games up, that’s all i gotta say. You can beat our junk but you can’t beat Hollywood Hamels. 2 MVP’s in a row, defending division champs, leading the division even after a horrible slump. So get fucking stuffed and get a life instead of coming on Phillies blogs you tossers

Eaton stinks. Too deep a hole, burned the offense to come back. No runs for the next 3 games???

Nice, Phillies are showing their true colors. Can’t win playing in that poor excuse of a major league ballpark called Citizen’s Bank Park. All teams have to do is score some runs and those teams with the starting pitching will hold the Phillies off. All that talk, and what do we have so far in 08? Mets are 7-3 against the soon to be out of first place Phillies. NICE INDEED!
