I think we had double the injuries the Mets had last year. They lost it because they were to damn arrogant!! I remember when the Phillies were closing in on the Mets and Randolph told the press they had nothing to worry about they would still be sipping chapmagne at the end of the season. It was that menality that cost the Mets the division. They thought along with everyone else that the Phillies had no chance and then they were proven wrong the last day of the season.

I also think if I listen any more to Utley Sucks I m going to draw a warm bath and slit my wrists….
.Did you ever hear such negativity?..
you’d think from him that the Phils already finished 30 games out.

this philly team was a fluke I kept telling you guys all year long. Last year was pure luck. Mets were the better team, they just had to many injuries last season and that’s why they lost it. This year the Mets have a very healthy Delgado, Johan Santana, Jerry Manuel a manager with great character who gets into his player’s faces, and Easley. Hope you philly people understand that and stop whining and moaning.

Yeah, that guy is a douche, I just didn’t want to get on his case about it. Utley has been unclutch this year. If an off year for him is a sub just slightly a sub .300 avg with 30+ homers and 100 RBI’s then he must really suck.

The Phils aren’t out of it, but their chances of taking the division or wild card are highly unlikely.

See, you can’t win. I write that this team has put itself into a situation it cannot win and I get slammed. I write the word “fate” and I get slammed.

Haha. Really though, it’s not fate, but I like the twist of mythological language.

1. Rollins
2. Utley
3. Werth
4. Howard
5. Burrell
6. Victorino
7. Dobbs/Feliz
8. Catcher
9. Eaton/Kendrick

…gotta break those Lefties up because if a team wants to keep the LHP in there to get to Howard, they’ll have to pitch either to, or around Werth… who leads the league in HR off of Lefties..

The comment “Fate has dropped the Phils between a rock and a hard place” is lunacy. Our situation has nothing to do w/ fate. This has everything to do with a group of guys who simply are not good enough and/or do not care. Our team does not play baseball the right way, plain and simple. We don’t move runners, don’t get clutch hits and rarely do we put together a game where the offense, starting pitching and bullpen all contribute positively. There is not one player on this team w/o a fatal flaw. Example: Howard is the only one who hits in the clutch but his massive amount of strikeouts strangles this offense with unproductive outs, Utley hits well early in the game and when the outcome is decided and therefore has a nice stat line but is dreadful in the clutch, has Hamels ever pitched well in a big game? I could go on but honestly why bother. I can not wait until the season is over, can not wait until I am not glued to the TV or Computer cheering that they will turn things around only to be crushed every time I allow a shred of hope to enter my mind. I should be spending my time w/ my wife or friends or doing something more meaningful than cheering for guys that get paid millions yet care less than I. And as for Rollins, he can kiss my a*%. Don’t you realize you clown that we cheer when you do well because we want you to win so badly we allow any hint of a prayer to delude us into thinking it is possible. Then we boo when you fail because the reality sets in that we let ourselves be fooled yet again. You should consider yourself lucky that you receive scattered cheers because all you deserve is a constant rain of boos Get out of town.

If we can win 3 or 4 we will get the WC. The Brew Crew has 6 against the Cubs who will be battling them for the division still, 3 against the Pirates who beat them bad this year, and 3 against the Astros who have been the best 2nd half team this year. The only thing is if we sweep the Brew Crew and the Astros win their next 4 then we’re in a lot of trouble. If we could have won yesterdays game I’d still be hoping for the division, but we can’t control the Mets destiny anymore, and they aren’t going to collapse like last year. We now have to aim for the WC because we can control our destiny with that. We need to go 13 and 3 in these next 16 games or there will be no shot at the post season for the Phillies.
