Deja Vu For Moyer

Last year, Jamie Moyer got the ball the day the Phillies clinched the NL East title. This year, he’s taking the rubber again with that goal in mind.
Unless the Mets lose to the Marlins today, the Phils will have to win to take the East today. And the game rides on Moyer’s shoulders, just as it did last season. And who else should it be?
“When you have the opportunity to pitch in a game that has meaning, it’s nice to be given the ball,” Moyer said. “But you have to be able to go out there and do your part. I was able to do that last year and it was an exciting time, an exciting game. It was exciting for the fans, for the city and for the organization.”
Already we hold Moyer in high regard for how he performed that day last season. Add in a sparkling season at 45 years old, and the St. Joe’s grad has earned his spot as a Phillie legend. Today would be the icing on the cake.

Use this thread to talk about the Mets/Marlins game.
Johan Santana (15-7) 2.64 ERA vs. Ricky Nolasco (15-7) 3.55 ERA
If the Mets lose, the Phillies are NL East champions.

I have not heard or seen this mentioned anywhere, but by all rights, I hold that Jamie Moyer MUST be seriously considered for the Cy Young Award.

haha yeah, obviously i’m an always sunny fan. i’d like to ideally have at least 12 teams if not more, and we’re only at 6 right now, so the more the merrier!
moyer for cy young is something i’ve been talking about all season, but i’m biased because he’s my favorite player in the majors. still, if he had a really shut down game today, i’d imagine he’d have to get some votes.

Is this the 1st regular season hockey game or is it still pre-season?

I heard Ed Snider really put up a fight to save and renovate the Spectrum, he apparently loves that place.

Phil, they are actually honoring the Spectrum today, had most of the old captains there, it was cool.

Shame that’s the only way to get Primeau back…

Yeah, I watched most of it. I turned it on a few minutes in. I didn’t know what was going on. I can’t believe they’re knocking down the spectrum. I have a lot of memories in that place as a little kid. Between the NHL, WWF, and concerts I’m going to really miss that place. I saw David Lee Roth there when I was 4.

God, I LOVE Keith Primeau, I waited 2 hours in the rain to have him sign a jersey, which I was wearing, btw, so he had to touch me, sweeet.

NJ, he wasn’t my first, by far, but absolutely my best (captain of the team, that is)

Phil, isn’t Brindamour still with the Canes, is he injured?

I’m not sure. I stopped following hockey when the strike happened. Same happened for me with the 94 strike in baseball. Shit like that pisses me off.

He is still with the Canes and injured but I’ll echo what Phil said, the games changed to much and seems so disposable and too fan friendly now.

Big spot here – bases loaded, 2 out for Baker.

That is the kind of shit that shows how Santana is an ace and Hamels isn’t. In a game this huge Santana got the big out with bases loaded. Hamels always chokes in those situations. Hamels will get to that point, he’s just too young at this point. In 2 more years he’ll be the most dominating pitcher in the NL behind Lincecum.

Mark r.e. Moyer for CY Young.
I’ve been saying for weeks on this very board that Moyer is a shoe in for the CY Young.

Just thinking same thing. Santana for mets big game. CC or sheets. Harden or Zambrano. we can’t touch that.

Santana is an animal. And Craig, Moyer doesn’t stand a chance, so you’ve been wrong for weeks I guess.

Craig stop posting stupid remarks,go back to your drinking. It’s amazing how stupid people are like craig, they think they know sports. How can he make that stupid remark.

Mike M – How many times can you include the word ‘stupid’ in three sentences? You trying for some sort of unofficial world record?

NEPA they should have a age limit of twenty one to post so little kids like craig would go out and play. Instead of posting stupid remarks. He should be with little kids his own age.

Moyer has no chance at Cy Young contention, forget the K’s arguement against which are a fan friendly writers wet dream his ERA’s and hits surrendered are too high and his innings pitched are too low.
Really hate the Hamels/Santana comparison. Santana is debatably the best pitcher in the game and would be the Cy Young winner had the bullpen not blown so many gmes and Hamels is a young ace in the second tier of top pitchers and that’s nothing to be ashamed of. Guys who aren’t aces don’t eclipse 200 innings with an incredible WHIP, ERA and good K numbers but everyone thinks their best pitcher is the best in the league and rips them when their not ‘clutch’.
Have to respect what Santana’s doing tonight.

Mike – What’s the problem here? Some light hearted comments were made r.e. Moyer and the CY Young.
You seem to have taken said comments very personally. Stop being such a d-bag.
