What gets me is that K-Rod through Ball after balll, yet they keep swinging. Leave the bat on your shoulder and let him walk everyone in.

Other then that dump Chan Blow Park, he is awful

Yeah, I really feel like four starts is a fair shake. It’s time to move on to the Happ era.

I understand if he has had some shaky starts and I would have given him some leeway since its early. BUT, he acts like a little leaguer on the mound. Dubee or someone needs to tell him to stop acting like a baby if you don’t get the call.

On that note, I like Happ’s composure on the mound. I think he realizes that Park is on his way out. with our bullpen being a little banged up move Park to the bullpen and see if he can just pitch one inning. If he complains, release him and call up Koplove or Mawjeski. Spring training he was good but he is not cutting it against steady big league talent.

On a note of releasing, has Cairo hit a ball out of the infield? Everytime you see him pitch hit its like Charlie has given up on the inning thats about it. There has got to be someone that we can get and I think Amaro has been looking and hopefully will.

Is it funny to anyone else that the last 2 years when Happ has been called up that he’s been called upon to start against the Mets?

You guys need to dump park, the mets who are incapable of tack on runs, actually did that last night. entertaining game, considering the score, had to keep drinking scotch last night b/c i felt the phillies comback was a hit a way

pelfrey pitched behind in the count the whole night but aside from Howards single in the first i do not recall the phillies getting a hard hit, Raul’s hit was a broken bat, and P. Feliz found a hole

it will be interesting next week when Utley’s homerun doesn’t even reach the warning track at Citi, i also did not realize how much Victorino and Utley crowd the plate, its good to see

All we are saying is give Happ a chance.

Chan Ho Eaton = Long Relief

Haap will be giving up 5-7 runs a start if he’s put into the rotation guaranteed

Howard had been keeping himself from bad swings recently but he reverted. Pelfrey is a guy you can rock but they didnt. J-Hole was terrible – he needs to shut his mouth and focus. Chan Ho Park needs to be sent to the bullpen and hopefully be used iin the 6th or 7th inning. JA Happ better be in this spot in the rotation the next time around. Ruben Amaro called out Chan Ho Park, Brett Myers, and Joe Blanton yesterday. He said theyd look internally for pitching first (Happ, Carrasco) and then if that didnt improve the situtation by July 1 they would make trades.

I think Myers has been ok, but not dominant at all – too many runs but some quality starts. Blanton had two good starts but has been terrible in the other ones. He throws too many meatballs. But when hes on he can dominate a lineup.

They need a power bench bat too, it would just really help. And I heard theyre trying to trade for a late-inning reliever. Maybe they want insurance with Lidge and with Romero still being out.

Last night, Park, in his body language and command of pitches seem to indicate he didn’t have a clue as to how to turn it around from impending disaster about to come. He obviously is now on a very short leash and after Manual & Dubee review his sorry performance, Park may have already lost his spot in the rotation. In giving credit where credit is due, Mets without Delgado and a hot Castillo (.370 BA) in the lineup were able to make the most of their hits in smallball (3 sac flies)and longball fashion. Their newly aquired setup and closer from the bullpen did their job. Today, the Phillies go with one of their more reliable and consistent starter in Moyer going against an unpredictable Perez. We also need Rollins to step up. He is such a factor in the lineup. When Rollins is hitless, the Phillies are 1-9.

Lets go Phillies!
