Well, it was hardly worth watching the replay of the last three innings, but of course I did anyway. I think they walked Ruiz intentionally in the 6th to force Charlie’s hand and pinch hit for Myers, didn’t want to face him anymore. And it worked.

haha, my uncle was talking about a new beer he bought, said it tastes like water, guess what it was? Michelob Ultra!!!!

Don’t forget the New York Epic, the NY Professional dodge ball team.

Honestly, the worst part about the Phillies losing is that Geoff will come on here and spew his bullshit and trash every Phillie who had a bad game. This game is on Manuel and the offense outside of Howard and Stairs. There is no way anybody can convince me that Taschner was the best option to pitch the 7th inning with the relievers Tim mentioned. And where do Mutts fans get the balls to start talking? What happened to that hole you’ve been in all season until Monday? If being in first on May 10th is the high point of your season then I honestly feel bad for you.
Yes the Phillies have problems, but so do the Mutts, Marlins and Braves. There are still 133 games left and the Phils are only one loss back. When you pop the corks in Septmeber and October, you can come back and run your tootheless little mouths. Until then enjoy being behind the Yankees, Giants, Jets, Rangers, Nicks, and Islanders in terms of importance in your own city.

Tim, first it’s “oh, he’s in a no-pressure situation,” then it’s “oh, they were DOWN one run instead of up one run.”
Look, I understand that the pressure’s off and he’ll probably pitch worse, but at the same time, he’s supposed to be the best relief pitcher that we have. That fact alone should keep his ERA under 6, at the very least.

Go Braves. Its only getting worse yankees – our farm is strong. But, you folks have to know that the best ball players come from the south and the west.

Little Guy:

Fair enough. But IMO, Mets fans think about the Phillies and their fans way less than the Phillies dwell on the Mets and their fans.

Can anyone explain to me how Taschner is a better 7th inning option than either Condrey or Durbin, or even Happ the way he’s been pitching lately. Is it just me or has Taschner been getting more rope than he deserves? It seems like they are trying to get as many innings out of him before they dump him when Romero comes back. He is seemingly our worst pitcher in the pen, what makes Charlie/Dubee think that he could complete a hold against righties.

Maybe were obsessed with the Mets because it’s a rivalry, both good teams, and both don’t like each other.

They Yankees and Red Sox fans are the same way. Stop acting like we shouldn’t want to rub it in the faces of the Mets just because we won the Series.

IMO, that gives us more of a reason to rub it in, well, because the Mets are a bunch of losers, who, for some reason act like they have won multiple championships with all the arrogance on their team.

AC, the fans on this site are not obsessed with the Mets. This whole back and forth started because a Mets fan is constantly peppering the board with updates on the Mets score. It would seem that the obsession is on the other end, which I don’t understand. Why not just root for the Yankees?

Mike,

I can understand why the Mets’ flamboyant and demonstrative attitude would frustrate you, but their ethnic backgrounds are irrelevant to your spiff – unless you’re a naive bigot or racist.

Please, try your best to NOT sound ignorant.

It’s really amazing how you phillies fans, who now have the pleasure of having just enjoyed a World Series title, are still obsessed with the Mets – both the fans and the players. Get over it.
