Gameday 2009, Posts
Philadelphia Phillies (14-11) at New York Mets (13-13)
Jamie Moyer (3-1, 5.65 ERA) vs. Mike Pelfrey (3-0, 6.00 ERA)
Time: 7:10 p.m. at Citi Field, Queens
Weather: Cloudy, 64
TV: Comcast SportsNet, MLB Network
Twitter: Phillies Nation
Last night was a pitchers’ battle: Both Johan Santana and Chan Ho Park slung mastery at their oppositions, with Santana coming out victorious mainly because of some erroneous defense by the Phillies. Of course, a couple hits would’ve helped.
Tonight, however, it could be a different story. Jamie Moyer (who surrendered five earned runs against the Mets Saturday) will face Mike Pelfrey (who gave up three earned runs against the Phils Friday). Moyer’s been hit hard by Mets batters, and Saturday it was Daniel Murphy and Ramon Castro doing the damage, as they both homered off the wily left-hander. Pelfrey, meanwhile, was struck by Raul Ibanez for a two-run hit on Friday.
Moyer is gunning for his 250th career victory. Shane Victorino is looking to extend his hitting streak to 16 games.
Your gamenight beer: We need something heavy tonight, if only to curtail the crazy rains that never stop in the Philadelphia region. It’s Wee Heavy, a Scotch Ale from the Belhaven Brewery. This drink has flavors of raisins and yeast – it’s dark, strong and even tangy on the tongue. I’d enjoy a big old turkey and stuffing with this.
Go Phillies!

Well, I can safely say that the Dipsy household will be crackling with anticipation at the prospect of Jamie’s 250th victory. I think Jamie’s gonna get smoked tonight. I hope I’m wrong but I just have that feeling. When does the Roy Oswalt watch start? Freakin’ Manny. Thats just too funny. Just goes to show..you sleep with dogs you get fleas. By the way, how bad is Chris Wheeler? They should switch Sarge and Wheels so we only have to hear that little nebish for two innings instead of 7…….eeesh.

The Muts are a bad disfunctional team. They do not play a team effort, that is why they will not finish ahead of the Phils.
They stink

Alright were in first place by a full game over the Marlins!!
The Muts are seeing Moyer twice in a week. I’m worried they won’t be fooled by his slop.
Go Phils!!

They weren’t fooled last week either. But I think our bats will wake up vs Pelfrey tonight

Park responded nicely after they just saw him… Im guessing Moyer can make adjustments just as Park can.
Our hitters are better hitters than Pelfrey is a pitcher..
Phillies win tonight 7-4

Don. Whells is the absolute WORST…EVER. Andy Musser was better than Wheels. At least the Sarge is funny. And you can take him seriously cuz he’s a former player.

Dipsy, I don’t know how long in term of years or how often or how closely you listen to the Phillies broadcast team. There is a reason for Wheels’ role as the color anaylst for all these years. He is widely regarded in broadcast circles and to his listeners as a very knowledgeable mind for all the aspects of the game. I personally enjoy listening to his explanation and anticipation of a particular game situation on the field. He is not the chatty type that diverts from the game itself. If you want that then Tom McCarthy or “Sarge” Mathews is your man.

Personally, I don’t mind wheels. Sarge is our own personal madden but with the game on mlb network, as much as I love our team, I’m kind of excited to hear Bob Costas. And as much as I love Tim’s beer selections, it’s PBR pounders for me.
