After a 5-1 road trip and a day off, the Phillies get back to business, and a big way: The second-place Marlins come in for a battle at the top.
Moyer The Magnificent: Jamie Moyer is 10-0 against the Marlins, in 10 starts. This season he’s beaten them three times.
Just Joshing: The Phils, however, face Josh Johnson, who took the Phils to the cleaners last time he faced them. He gave up just two runs in 6.2 innings, a win for the Fish. The Marlins are 4-0 in Johnson’s starts.
The Jake: If one Marlins hitter can beat Moyer, it’s Mike Jacobs. The left-handed hitter is .391 with five homers and 10 RBI against Moyer for his career, including two homers this year.
Phillies: Jamie Moyer (10-6) 3.79 ERA
Marlins: Josh Johnson (1-0) 4.18 ERA
Gametime: 7:05 p.m. EST
Weather: 83, cloudy
Lineup:

Your gamenight beer: The Phils are back home, and I’m going home too — for the beer selection, that is. Here is Rowhouse Red from the Philadelphia Brewing Co, This farmhouse ale has a familiar and easy taste. Which makes sense. A rowhome is familiar, it’s cozy, it’s home. Those of us who grew up in a rowhome (Port Richmond, represent!) would understand.
Go Phillies!

Although you are right about me pulling out my hair. Mets will be fine, worry about you’re Phils.

6-5 Mets, 3-run homer off Heilman. Time to worry now, Tyler?

Tyler – you suck. So do the Mets. Even if you win tonite, you have no chance with that bullpen. Wagner out, and he sucks anyhow. Heilman is a bum. I bet you are sweating now that it is 6-5, you stupid idiot.

now, what the hell is the point of this? only bad things can come of this.
i guess just to get him some work. hes NOT a reliever, theyre driving themselves INSANE looking for a loogy. MEMO TO PHILLIES: YOU ALREADY FUCKING HAVE A LOOGY, his name is JC romero. go find a SETUP MAN.

Gee is this what happens when the Phils sit one of their hot prospects for two weeks? He turns into Ryan Madson! You think they’d have learned this by now!

these people, gillick, amaro, charlie, must be mentally retarded. why the fuck are you going to screw with the psyche of your young starting pitching prospect to find a role for someone that you already have people to fill when you really need something else and youve wasted weeks on this now. what is their problem?
you keep calling up happ, sending him down, now hes in the bullpen, then he gets a start: do they WANT him to become brett myers? what the hell.

Hey Brian Michael:
An exerpt from the policy: “Comments that include strong profanity or personal attacks or other inappropriate comments or material will be removed from the site.”
How many f-bombs, douchebag references, and personal attack on Met fans do we witness on this site without any instance of administrator intervention, but I say one critical thing about the website and it gets removed??? That is incredibly hypocritical and reeks of unprofessionalism. Either make the rules pertain to EVERYBODY, or NOBODY.

Manuel screwed this game up with his pen. He left that crap rookie in for WAY too long, he never should have faced that last guy at the very least.

this is wreckless and disgraceful.
no wonder they havent won a championship in a long time. if youre going to F with happ, then just leave him down in AAA until you need him to START.

As per the comment policy, talking trash about Mets fans is perfectly acceptable. Just like you douchebags talk about us Phils fans on your Mets blog. If you dont’ like it, go to your Mets blog and enjoy!

I am not a Mets fan, Jamie. Talk trash all you want about the mets, I encourage it. All I care about is that if you are allowed to talk trash about everything, then we should be able to talk trash about this website as well.

We couldn’t farm a pitcher to save our lives! I’m amazed Hamels was the success he is! We got a solid starter and Happ and we totally screwed him up already! And then we have Carrasco who is throwing 96 mph fastballs and has a sick change up and curveball, who we refused to trade for Sabathia and we don’t bring him up either! Our farm system is a total disgrace! It’s a wonder guys like Arbuckle and Amaro have jobs let alone be the ones most likely to be running the show next year!

“My comment is waiting moderation.” Dude, seriously, get a damn life. If you can’t take criticism then you are definitely in the wrong line of work.

Geoff, Rhodes isn’t that bad, especially with the Phils offense playing the way it is. We’ll be lucky to get 1 run off him, and if we do it’ll be a Werth HR.

thats what im saying. this whole approach, the way they run this team, hasnt changed for 15 years. its cheap cheap cheap. mismanage this, misuse that. these poeple dont know how to run a baseball team anymore. SELL THE TEAM TO SNIDER. seriously. bring in COMPETENT people who are ALLOWED TO TRY TO WIN.
“one thing arthur did with the phillies was walk a lot of batters, since then hes had tommy john surgery.” hahahaha

If you guys spent as much time protecting the server from crashing as you do protecting Muts fans from receiving their just desserts, we might have had updates at the trade deadline. Just kidding, I love the website but WTF!

As I was saying, on a night like tonight, this offense will make Rhodes look like a black Steve Carlton.

You wish you could get rid of me that easily, Brian. It’s amazing the lengths some peopel will go to protect their own ego.

this team needs a new owner (singular)
this team needs a new front office
this team needs a new farm director and totally new scouts.
this team needs a new manager even though i like charlie

And by the way, I have no problem with the rules. I do have a problem, however, with how selectively they’re being enforced.

35 sellouts and no increase in payroll this season during the year, as in, at the trade deadline.

Everybody relax a bit – phils are still in first, and they’ll do exactly what they did against St. Louis – win the next 2. and they did that without scoring a ton of runs 2-1, then 5-4.
C’mon, Mets bullpen sucks and they’ll lose a few more. Marlins are due for some losing streak too – and they’ll beat up each other at the end of the week while phils get the pirates.
I have a feeling tomorrow night the bats will awaken – stay positive!

and the video graphics department at comcast needs to go too. that will make the team win more games.

And I’m damn sure I don’t give a crap about you, RMac. Except I’m sure you’d give a crap if this shit were pulled on you. SO why don’t you talk about how much the Phillies suck tonight and mind your business.

I like this website but wonder about the excessive use of profanity is tolerated. Too many f-bombs and personal attacks. Can’t we discussed without profanity?
