great, great series for the phils. they came in looking for revenge and got it. so many positive things for the team coming out of this, now they just need to keep it going into two of the most important games of the season.

also, I remember a Phils-Yanks game at Yankee stadium where the Phillies were winning, only to have Jeff Brantley blow the save, then the Phils take the lead in extra innings, only to blow another save. That was a long subway ride home.

Nate, I hear ya, but i’m just being realistic. Kendrick has close to a 5 ERA and santana is santana, bullpen blown wins or not.
I strongly advise the Phils to win tonight…

Tim,

My brother and I were actually at that Yankees games when Schilling was ridiculous that night as well.

griffin… i went to a game earlier this year when J.A. Happ was going against santana, and supposedly there was no shot. it turned out to be the only one they won in that four-game series. If kendrick gets the win, he has a better record than santana… how’s that for crazy.

Geez, we’re winning, Myers is pitching awesome, the bullpen is stronger again, the offense is coming to life, Rollins gained some stroke back, Vic is leading the charge, and some of you kids STILL harp on about what to get for Ryan Howard in a trade? I love us Phillies fans.

Also, less than one week from the big Labor Day bus trip!

Also also, I went to the game where the Phils beat Hideki Irabu and Schill struck out 16 (first IL game against the Yanks). So that’s close to the Nomo game.

Also also also, C-Span is covering the DNC, is some chick named Leslie Bradshaw in “new media strategies” is talking. Smoking hot.

great fucking series for the phils! nice to see j-roll with 3 hits and on base all 5 times. if he heats up, we’ll walk away with this division.

phils gettin hot at just the right time. let’s keep this going through the rest of the season.

Sweet win tonight. With Jimmy hitting the ball, the Phillies can and will anywhere, that is how important he is to this team. Utley and Howard will both come out of their funks if Jimmy starts hitting the ball like he did tonight. We were pulling for the cycle tonight, it was sweet.

hey i want to win and im trying to be creative and put some ideas out there man…this team isnt going to win shit with their approach…EVER. you got that!

maybe some miracle happens and they get on a run. thats the only way i can see it without them getting off their ass in the offseason and seriously reshuffling their hand

Like I said Christian. At this point in the season you are either for us or against us. Extending an olive branch to them and engaging in diplomacy is nice in theory, but in practice it just isn’t feasible. Muts fans are generally a sleazy circus folk and they cannot participate in meaningful social exchanges. They try to draw you in with empty compliments and then they start needling you with Howard strikeout references. I will not tolerate them for the remainder of the season and I strongly advise you to do the same. Honestly, the Muts and their fans can go to hell on a red-eye.

the Yankees would NEVER trade Joba for Howard. Joba isn’t close to arbitration eligibility. They’re going to go out and sign Texeira with the money they were paying Giambi. Joba is a cult hero and will be on the Yanks for the next 15 years.

Nice win by the Phils, I hope they win tomorrow, b/c they have NO shot at the 2nd game (kendrick vs. santana). Let’s see if pushing Hamels last start back a day works out…

Or maybe the Yankees give us Cano, Kennedy, Chamberlain, and three top level prospects for Howard. Hell, I’d even throw in Bruntlett. God, I thought your stupid trades were over with.

By: Geoff

Geoff — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 02:39:26 +0000

must trade. must demand immediate in offseason

Geoff can’t be serious. Joba Chamberlain? Ha! If we trade Howard away, we better get a lot more than an unproven starting pitcher. It will never happen, so I’ll just leave it at that.

On another note, to the Mets fan David…I agree, the series will be interesting. A lot at stake, but with this many games left, these two games may end up not meaning much considering it’s only 2 games.

geoff, that lineup and rotation is never going to happen.

That guy – you are the reason people hate phillies fans.
