Wow. Just got in tonight â€” my recap will be based on highlights and such, but great turnout for such a great win. Nice job, guys.

Tommy A…don’t fuck with us like that. We’re all really happy he’s in AAA.

THIS JUST IN!!! The Myers demotion was a brilliantly orchestrated punking by Kendrick. Revenge for the Japan stunt. Ok, kidding. But that would have been the ultimate ball-buster.

Swindle is probably only coming up until the mysterious 5th starter comes into the picture.

It’s a home series. We finish the first half of the season on a 10 game homestand.

that is going to be a huge series, home or away?

Hey, we may need Taguchi to bomb a few against our boy Wagner this weekend. He’s got a history of doing that.

that is a good point phil i totally forgot about that, well they would prolly send swindle back down or DFA condrey and just for the sake of it please DFA Taguchi

Gillick says that he doesn’t want to mess with the bullpen, and I have heard that they have pushed back Hamels and Moyer to Thursday and fir day respectively, so it does make sense that they would promote Swindle. Condrey is away with his family so the bullpen is short a pitcher right now anyhow. The Phillies needed another lefthanded and Swindle has great numbers in AAA so he had to have his chance in the majors sooner or later.

As for the starter, I still think it will be Happ (maybe Carrasco) and that Durbin will stay in the bullpen. Swindle would be called up now and then Happ (or Carrasco) would be called up Saturday to start that day. Condrey, Taguchi, or Swindle would have to be DFA’ed first though.

Haha, true. Durbin would only give us about 4 or 5 innings in his first start (sub-par pitching more than likely as well) and then Charlie would be looking out in the bullpen for Chad to replace himself. Unless Chad really sucked, then we could just bring in Condrey for his usual meaningless performance.

why not start condrey one game and then Madson then next?

funny news we beat Zach Segovia(we just released him) tonight in class A ball

By: NC Jason

NC Jason — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 03:16:34 +0000

Keith I would say that he could only give us 4 innings for a couple of starts which would tax the bullpen

By: NEPA

I would love to see Carrasco or Happ called up. They should keep Swindle up for now and send down Condrey, he is the only truly weak link in our bullpen this season.

maybe condrey is our starter… how funny would that be

By: Keith

Keith — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 03:15:11 +0000

and another stupid thing about that is he could only give us 4 innings in the first start prolly

By: NC Jason

NC Jason — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 03:14:24 +0000

I would not take Durbin out of the spot where he has been preforming. That could really mess him up for the rest of the year. We need someone for a couple of starts.
