Back home, and they need these bad. The Phillies open a three-game set against the Nationals. The Phils bring Joe Blanton to the mound, while the Nats bring the great Jason Bergmann out to play. A sweep is practically necessary and the only thing accepted.
Tale Of Two Bergs: Bergmann allowed five runs in 5.1 innings in his first start against the Phillies, then allowed no runs in 7 innings in his second start. He’s been much better in the second half of the season, but got lit up (6 ER, 3 IP) against the Mets Wednesday.
Jeer?: Tonight is Jimmy Rollins’ return home since saying we fans hate them when they lose. Will the fans harass?
Cheer?: But tonight is “Campaign Cheer” night. We Should Be GM’s want everyone to cheer everything, no matter what. Will the fans abide?
Phillies: Joe Blanton (6-12) 4.79 ERA
Nationals: Jason Bergmann (2-9) 4.51 ERA
Gametime: 7:05 p.m. EST
Weather: 82, cloudy
Lineup:

Your gamenight beer: Tonight we go Irish, and we go with Beamish Irish Stout, an excellent stout with little alcohol content but a bit of a chocolate taste. It’s good with anything spicy or rich, so have some Spanish rice and chicken, then wash it down with some chocolate mousse.
Go Phillies!

West could not get his fat ass out of the way – Single scored should be tied!

How silly is Vic making Rollins look right now?

In a play like that they should have to compromise and give him 2nd.

I predict a big hit for coste. Saying that, he’ll probably smite me and GIDP. Please, please don’t.

If they don;t get that run in from 3rd I might have to turn this off. GIDP here and I won’t watch the rest of this series.

Jimmy Rollins, big hit. If he gets the at bat then I think he’ll come through, he has to for his well being of a Phillie.

The Muts are losing too. It’s probably why they don’t have trolls on here right now.

The Braves couldnt expand their lead with men on the corners with one out.

1,2,3 up in the order. If they don’t score now against a mediocre bullpen, they never will.

He never has learned to hit the ball on the ground and to hit line drives.
0-4 tonight and the FANS are the problem…..
