Phillies Nation

Our bullpen was a little shaky last night after Myers pitch great, 6IP only 64 pitches. To get Gordon back would only ha.mper our bullpen. Why doesn’t Charlie use happ a little more and quit waiting on Gordon to come back

i thought someone shot gordon and sent him to the glue factory?

Would someone please flush Flash.

Never quite understood the venom towards Gordon. The guy hasn’t pitched well this year, but he is a class act, has pitched quite well for the Phils in the past, and has gutted it out when he has been hurt.

But with that said, I think it’s getting to be that time where he might need to hang them up…

i don’t hate gordon, but i am not a fan. i think he should have received a 2 year contract from us originally, and if he did, he would be someone else’s burden right now. i don’t count on him to come back strong, basically i don’t count on him at all. the less we use him the better. he should probably be used as condrey is used at this point in his career.

Does anyone remember how awesome Gordon was down the stretch last year? I sure do, and that was after being horrible all year and being on the DL most of the year. If he can repeat that then that would be awesome.

Tom Gordon is better than Condrey and Seanez. I agree with the people that said he takes the ball and never complains. Charlie abused him last year but he didn’t say a word. He’s a class act and we could use him.

2006 3.34ERA 1.26WHIP and 34 saves
last year he was good down the stretch, why all the hatred?

gordon had that one huge pitch against beltran down the stretch last year, up at shea. guys on, 3-2 count he pulled out the best pitch he’s thrown in a phillies uniform seemingly out of nowhere for the strikeout en route to a 3-2 phillies win. the gordon era hasn’t been all bad.

i dont have a problem with gordon. probably shouldve retired this year, but hes a tough guy who commands respect and he should be allowed to gut it out and finish out the year as long as he doesnt hurt the team too much.

Gordon is a class-act. He’s never said anything about the fans booing him when he doesn’t perform. He just takes it as it comes and knows that if he doesn’t perform the fans won’t be happy. A lot of pitchers can’t take it and vent to the press. Flash hasn’t ever that I remember.

He just does his job the best he can and I respect that! I agree he’ll probably hang them up after this year and he’s had a hell of a career. When he’s on, his curve ball is still nasty!

Let’s hope for a superb final 2.5 months from Flash! We can use him the way Madson has been pitching!

nobody is attacking gordon’s personality, clearly he is a class act. he has been used and abused, and never complained. i think i speak for most people on here when i say i don’t trust him on the mound, although i believe he is better than seanez and condrey combined.

griffin, when you pointed out gordon’s 2006 stats you left out a 3-4 record and the fact that he was totally dreadful at the end of that year. i believe something like 25 of his saves came before the all star break in 2006.
