I think that you would want to sit Burrell on Sunday and let Dobbs play one of the outfield corners for an offensive boost. I am so weary of watching Burrell do nothing at the plate.

Suppan blows – he’s the second worst pitcher in MLB making 8+mil a year to Adam Eaton. We better be able to come alive offensively again Suppan, because I don’t like our chances facing Sabathia for a second time in game 5.

I’d throw Hamels tomorrow. If Blanton goes out there and stinks it up, we are going to have to use Hamels in 5, and he would be unavailable in game one of the next series. If you throw Hamels tomorrow, he would be ready for game one of the next series. The only thing would be that tomorrow’s game, and then game one of the next series would both be on 3 days rest, and we all know how Hamels feels about pitching on short rest.

Aside from the offense not hitting, and the umpire squeezing Moyer, Uncle Chalie didn’t help the cause at all. Victorino comes off of an AMAZING game, and what does he do – drops him back down to 6 in the order. I would have left him in the 2-hole where he could have as many at bats as possible. Don’t get me wrong, Werth has been decent in the playoffs, but Victorino has clearly been the best player who deserves as many at bats as possible. Werth is ONLY good in the 2-hole when they face a garbage lefty, other than that he should be hitting 5, 6. I’d like to see him bat 5 and move Burrell back in the order. Also, why doesn’t Coste pinch hit for Ruiz in the 9th? Ruiz has no bat, and the only way the Phils had a chance with 2 outs was to pop one, cuz I can’t trust this team to do the small things to manufacture a run.

On a separate note, it would be nice if Utley decided to join us for the playoff run. This is the second year that Utley has decided to not show up for the playoffs, and frankly this team needs him to hit to have a chance.

Howard has been okay, but could improve. I would say he has done well considering they are pitching away from him.

Burrell sucks – I’d like to usher that guy out of town myself. If the Phils give him money to play here next season they are out of their minds.

Let’s not reinvent the wheel again uncle charlie, tomorrow lineup should be:
1.Rollins
2.Victorino
3.Utley
4.Howard
5.Werth
6.Burrell
7.Feliz
8.Ruiz
9.Hamels

Blanton doesn’t appear to be the kind of guy who gets nervous. He just seems kinda dead emotionally out there so maybe that’ll work in our favor. We gotta score some runs; however or it doesn’t matter who we put on the mound!

I’m nervous b/c Suppan is a tested playoff experienced pitcher with some big games in his past (LCS and World Series a few years back with the Cards). Meanwhile, I don’t think Blanton has any.

I don’t want to face Sabathia again…

Well Suppan hasn’t been that good this year he has a 4.96 ERA…It just a matter of if our offense comes to life or if they make him look like Greg Maddux.

I know that it is still in our favor, especially against Suppan tomorrow. I just feel cheated because Brian Runge called an awful first couple innings against Moyer, putting us in a hole early. And on top of that, he called the very same pitches strikes for Bush, putting all of our hitters in 0-2 protecting counts.

Just feel like he cheated us and put our team in a lock up mode.

The umpires gambled on the Brewers. The Brewers gambled on Bush. The Phils gambled away getting the first man up on base multiple times. The Phils gambled that they thought they knew where the strike zone was and never got it back until the ninth inning. Feliz took the biggest gamble on his first pitch in the ninth. Victorino gambled on trying to take out the second baseman without a weapon. Life’s a gamble, you try, you fail, and you get up the next morning and try again.

Everyone relax. Worse case scenario we get to knock Sabatthia around again and celebrate the victory at our place. It kinda reminds me of the Flyers against the caps last year. Remeber they took the 3-1 lead and got pushed to a game 7.

The Phils need to put it together! The Brewers got two runs in the first inning, and it takes us until the SIXTH to put ONE up on the board? I don’t understand what is going on with our offense. We can’t get through the post-season without putting the bat to the ball and getting on base.

Am I paranoid? Watching on TBS, it just seems like the 3 announcers have a little more “oomph”, rah-rah, excitement, whatever for the brewers – it just seems like there’s a bias against the phils there.

Am I crazy or does anyone else pick up on that?

Seriously, Blanton’s pitching? That sucks. The Phils were one hit away from a win today. It killed me how they couldn’t knock in the runs with runners in scoring position. Especially Feliz at the end – why was he swinging at the first pitch?

By: AC in NJ

AC in NJ — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 02:33:02 +0000

Problem is SJ Mike, Charlie’s gotta keep Feliz in there regardless of his offensive lapses. Can’t put Dobbs at 3rd tomorrow – need the defense.

It seems the same with Ruiz – good defense, but rarely comes through at the bat. PLEASE GET MARSON UP TO THE BIGS SOON!!!!

Feliz is only good for when you need an insurance run,when your trying to rally don’t look for him to help out.

Is tomorrow’s game Joe Blanton’s first playoff game ever, or does he have any postseason experience???

By: SJ Mike

SJ Mike — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 02:30:28 +0000

Had Feliz showed some patience and ripped a gapper, he could have cleared the bases and tied it up.

Ugh Fat Joe pitching tomorrow has a loss written all over it.

By: AC in NJ

AC in NJ — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 02:29:41 +0000

Gotta win tomorrow – that’s all I gotta say. This was tough watching tonight, until the 9th. Why did Feliz have to go for the first pitch? Damn show some discipline.
