Headline: For series win, Phils must overcome Perez
The Major Players: Odalis Perez, Pat Burrell, Pedro Feliz, Joe Blanton
The Venue: Nationals Park, Washington D.C.
The Number: 2.5 games behind (Mets)
Cole Hamels breezed by the hot Nationals lineup yesterday, racking up a win in 7.1 innings as the Phils took it 4-0. They’re currently 2.5-games behind the Mets after a New York win. Tonight they face lefty Odalis Perez, who has a great history against the Phils but hasn’t faced them this season.
Oh No, Not Odalis: In 14 games against the Phillies, Perez is 6-3 with a 2.70 ERA. Phils regulars are bad against him, including a .125-hitting Pedro Feliz.
So, A Start?: One Phillie who could benefit from playing against Perez? So Taguchi, with a .333 career average against him.
Blant Job: Last time Joe Blanton faced the Nationals? Five rinnings, four runs, eight hits. The Phils won that game late.
Shame On Shane: Shane Victorino is on the bench tonight. Eric Bruntlett is in right field, and Jayson Werth is in center field.
Phillies: Joe Blanton (11-8) 4.69 ERA
Nationals: Odalis Perez (6-10) 4.14 ERA
Gametime: 7:10 p.m. EST
Weather: 92, partly cloudy
Lineup: Rollins/Utley/Werth/Howard/Burrell/Feliz/Coste/Bruntlett/Blanton

Your gamenight beer: Grab a fat, short Negra Modelo. This dark beer is one of the better Latin beers out there, stronger and hoppier than most. Has even a slight chocolate taste. Goes well with any kind of Latin cuisine, so hey — taco night!
Go Phillies!

The Phillies are turning out to be a big disappointment, but not nearly as lame as the red party getting another 4 years in the oval office, if that happens I really don’t know what to do.

This sounds more like the WWE than the RNC. I guess Vince or Triple H is the next speaker.

Yes, Palin is a great MILF but would make a horrible Veep. Mark my words!

yeah this woman is all orchestrated joseph geobbels bullshit. finally after years people were waking up to the criminal activity of the administration and all these yuppies come crawling right back in there as soon as they trot out a pretty face. they fall for it and bury their heads back in the sand. thus is the flaw in our system.
i hope this is exposed as a fraud like it really is.

I’ve got FOX on and these knuckleheads are slobbering all over themselves. These are the same clowns that got us into Iraq. Good luck come November – they’re going to need it.

also, there STILL doesnt look like theres more than 8,000 people there. the ron paul event sold out a 15,000 seat arena. and a mainstream national party cant sell out their OWN staged convention?

Politics make me sick but seriously the Republicans go over board and so the most silliest things ever. Am I the only one who thinks Republicans can’t give a speech if their life depended on it.

I lived overseas for years and almost everyone I knew loved Americans but disliked American politics.

That wasn’t a speech. It was a collection of one liners.

Pedro
Alou

i think thats because the republicans know their base followers will belive anything they are told and llove it. so they just say whatever.
joseph goebbels, chief of nazi propaganda during the third reich, said that the bigger the lie the more people will believe it. i feel that this applies to the republican base. well, whats left of it because believe me, its mostly gone and will never return.

As a woman I guess I should be happy for her, but she is a hypocrite-she wants us to support her pregnant daughter but as governor Palin cut programs for unwed mothers.

Let’s hope so. 8 billion dollars a month to Iraq. No bid contracts to Halliburton. Wiretaps. Trillion dollar deficit. Enough already.

I traveled/lived far and wide and always got special treatment because I was an American. People just don’t like how our government tries to impose our will without regard for what they want.

theyve SHREDDED the bill of rights. they can basically declare martial law at will and we cant do much about it. theyre waiting for something to break out the new homeland security military police control grid, but i hope they never get that chance.
yeah its enough for sure. i dont believe in the two party system at all. it makes people want the other party, who are probably all criminals too. we need like 7 or 8 MAJOR parties to have REAL choices.

Guys, i’m looking forward to a great series this weekend. I have this to look forward to since college just began again this week =/ … btw i completely agree Fred that shouldn’t be considered a speech. I was waiting for an ECW chant to breakout with those uncivilized republicans!

yeah they are. they definitely dont know where the sun goes when it passes the horizon.
it is about cash. which brings up a whole list of other problems (federal reserve, deficit spending/keynesian economics, the idea of an income tax at all – completely illegal, spending money that DOESNT EXIST on wars and inflation a currency thats already in shambles). yeah there are tons of economic problems, not to mention outsourcing and unemployment.

Maybe that’s why the Phillies are so frustrating – because reality jumps up and slaps us in the face.
