The Phillies continue their three-gamer in Washington, D.C. with a match against Tim Redding and the Nats.
Seeing Redd: Tim Redding is the No. 1 Phillie Killer, the B.A. Baracus of the team of guys who openly throttle us on a regular basis. He has pitched 13.1 shutout innings against the Phils this season, giving up eight hits while walking five. If the Phils decide to take pitches …
Iron Ryan: Ryan Howard has a consecutive game streak of 221 games, longest in baseball.
Flawless Final: After last night’s win, the Phillies are 46-0 when leading after eight innings.
Phillies: Jamie Moyer (9-6) 3.76 ERA
Nationals: Tim Redding (7-5) 3.98 ERA
Gametime: 7:10 p.m. EST
Weather: 88, cloudy
Lineup: Rollins/Victorino/Utley/Howard/Burrell/Jenkins/Bruntlett/Ruiz/Moyer

Your gamenight beer: Affligem Blond is a Belgian beer, really my favorite nation for beer. It’s yellow/gold, very light and has somewhat of a banana lace smell. Can’t beat that combination. When facing a guy who has baffled you all season, you need to rethink strategy, take your time, focus on every little pitch. That makes Affligem Blond a nice beer for tonight. For a food pairing, I’d go with clams.
Go Phillies!

The Marlins are in strong talks about Manny. Isn’t that lovely?

Man, what a great day on this blog. A re-cap: First, the Phillies will not be making any significant moves prior the the deadline. Yes, they will sign junk in the waver pool. Second, CBP has great food, but it’s way too pricey. And yes, the profits from concessions and memorabilia is gigantic. Yet, the owners simply refuse to open the bank up for acquisitions. Any solution? As Geoff said, “Ed Snider/Comcast buys the team and opens up the war chest for the payroll.” Also, I think Tim actually deleted someones ridiculous post – that’s a step in the right direction, Tim. Next, have Brian write a program for a user registration. Lastly, Pudge Rodriguez for Kyle Farnsworth? Kyle Farnsworth? Are you fucking kidding me? Where were we on this?

Yeah, I would have given them Seanez and Condrey for fucking Pudge.

Tim Redding owns the Phils. We should just trade for him and end that whole thing.

I already suggested that Mike T. haha Trade for him and then trade him to some shitty AL team.

He would fit….all the marlins do is hit home runs and play bad defense….and all manny does is hit home runs and play bad defense

I just got unlazy and looked up Farnsworth stats. Seanez and Condrey are having a better year. WTF was Gillick thinking on that one?!

you know where we were mike? pat gillick,AGAIN, fo rlike the 5th time in the past month or so, caught ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL AGAIN!!!!
let me reiterate: kyle farnsworth SUCKS! we have guys that suck to give the tigers, like geoff jenkins. the tigers wouldve taken carlos ruiz straight up and gillick, again, NOWHERE TO BE FOUND.
if youre “going for it” like montogmery said they were, arent you getting pudge rod to provide veteran leadership down the stretch?

5:56pm: Baseball Prospectus’ John Perrotto has multiple baseball sources saying the Red Sox are on the verge of sending Ramirez to Florida for three players, including outfielder Mike Stanton.

Wow, they’re going to get Manny at a steal. I’d take Manny for a steal too.

by the way, the florida marlins are about to get manny ramirez for a three man package.
i didnt want manny anyway, but its always nice NOW that the marlins have him, hell kill us when we play them down the stretch.
i wanted holliday, they say no, i want jason bay/raul ibanez, they say no. well what do you get? some waived piece of trash in august? hahahaha
they know that the fans will be pissed if they sit on their ass and theyll still do it because they know youll sitll come to the ballpark, buy their aramark food and stand in line for 4 innings just to get a bucket of crab fries. ahahahaha

Manny to Florida doesn’t bother me. They need pitching more than we do – they’ll fall off at any moment.

i want to see jimmy rollins get pulled in the middle of the game and told on tv that hes been traded. priceless.
at this point, im desperate for them to get roy halladay, you know what? fuck it
carlos carrasco, shane victorino, jason donald, antonio bastardo, fabio castro, BOOM. get me roy halladay i dont care what it costs. i wouldnt even be pissed if they traded lou marson, yes, thats a flip flop, but i dont care because its ROY HALLADAY. who cares? you want to win? show me. otherwise im accuring the front office of criminal theft.

We have been kicking around having those viewers who wish to post comments to register with the site. Though, at the present time, we are going to keep the posting requirement as is. A few idiots shouldn’t deter those who enjoy reading/posting here at Philliesnation.
Also, there are only two spots left for our trip to D.C. So, if you’d like to go purchase your spots now!!!
Go Phils!

I hate Pat Gillick, he isnt as active in the market as he should be. Way too conservative for a team going for it all.
I like Bruntlett starting at third over Dobbs.
Moyer is going to rock these guys to sleep.
Howard goes yard.
Phils win 8-3.
Manny to Florida would be intense. If that happens I can guarantee that the Mets would push real hard for Bay and then we stay put or something. But yet we would still win the division IMO. One player can only do so much. I was reading today that Bartolo Colon won 10 games after the trade deadline for the Expos way back when but they finished an additional half game back to end the year.

i love the flyers more than any team. the phillies are a close second. i played hockey since age 5, played baseball for a few years but im getting back into playing it again now. i was raised on teh flyers and that owners does NOT tolerate failure. sure they havent won in ages but they go for it all the time. that team is SOLID going forward and i cant wait.
dont ou wish ed snider owned the phillies? that guy doesnt f around. awesome pro sports owner. he hates being embarrassed. they finished last, the flyers, then, BOOM, turnaround all the way to the final 4 this year, fired/gutted the front office and now theyre ready to roll.

If Snider owned the Phillies right now we would be WS favorites.

at this point, who cares? do we know these prospects are going to pan out? i think marson will but i have no idea about the rest of them after recent developments.
someone in that FO has to grow some balls and say, you know what? lets go for it

Werth for Trever Miller or JP Howell? I think not. If Colorado wants several prospects for Brian Fuentes, we should be able to get MUCH more value for Werth.

i know it wont happen but this is why the phillies fail like every year, n balls, dont want to spend money, etc. im going to check developments of trade activity….

This trade deadline is garbage. We’re going to end up with only Joe fucking Blanton while the Angels get Teixera(not that we needed him), the Yankees get Pudge, Nady, and Marte(needed all 3), and the Marlins possibly get Manny. WTF GILLICK!

Too bad this is probably the only inning they will, and they won’t score any runs.

We have 4#4′s and 1 of those #4′s has the potential to be a #2 and one of them is pitching like a #2.

6:24pm: MLB.com’s Joe Frisaro is hearing about a three-way deal that would also send Jason Bay to the Red Sox.
