“Ibanez is a early candidate for best free agent signing this off season.”

Derek Lowe scoffs at you.

What a win for the phightins. Ibanez is a early candidate for best free agent signing this off season.

even if raul played that ball on a hop, i think at least one run is still scoring no matter what. i was at the game and when he charged it i thought he had a shot at it.

Thank god Padres have no bullpen….as for Zumoff…wow him and Tmac should drive off a cliff…get them away from the mic…gotta do something, nothing is gonna come close to HK but we need something better in both areas….

Park didn’t pitch terribly… if Ibanez doesn’t botch that fly ball, who knows what his line might have looked like. He got up on batters and then nibbled… he put himself into situations where he had to throw strikes after being up in the count. A few of those hits were bloops. I’m not making excuses and Happ pitched well but it’s still a little early to put the brakes on the Seoul Train… I need to see one or two more starts. In any event, it’s nice to have them both around because they will both be motivated to finish the job if the other one falters.

My wife and I were at the game yesterday: left field Row 1 right on the wall behind the flowers. Killer win! The Phillies needed that one badly and boy did they get it! Very exciting win. Raul Ibanez……….”You are the Man!” (HK RIP)

To piggy back off of Gavin’s idea…why not make the Ashburn award for the game’s top hitter and the Harry K for the games top pitching performer? You don’t have to give out both awards for the same game…say Cole throws a CG and they win like 2-0…give the Harry K to Cole and the Ashburn just sits there for a day. Just a tought.

Also…anyone else ready to get Chan Blow out of the rotation and give the spot to Happ and see how he does?

Raul is a class act and I think has already embraced his new team. When we met him at the Moyer Foundation event in Clearwater, he was the first guy there and last to leave – a great family man and teammate….as long as he keeps hitting!

And yes, Matt, I noticed Zumoff getting a little crazy at the end of the Sixers game too.

Al in Seattle:

Seriously, Phillies fans have a lot to thank the Mariners for. Greg Dobbs, Jamie Moyer, Pat Gillick, and so far, Raul Ibanez.

Wow, what a day for Philadelphia…Flyers win, combined with dramatic comeback victories for both Phillies and Sixers!

Yep…look at how everybody is on the Rauk bandwagon! I tried to tell everyone before that he will plug the black hole that was Burrell’s spot in the lineup. Great walk-off for Raul!! It made up for (1) missing the ball because he had his sunglasses down on a dark and cloudy day and (2) getting tagged out on that horrible slide into 3rd where he dug his cleats into the ground short of the bag instead of actually hitting the bag with his foot…Speaking of sunglasses, what was Greg Dobbs thinking wearing his to pinch-hit in the 8th? There was no Sun, and the house lights had been on all day…Happ came in and shut ‘em down for 3 innings by throwing strikes. A few more starts like this for Seoul Man and a few more long relief stints like this for JA, we may see a changing of the #5 starter.
