Look, Lidge has been through a lot and even last year he never did well in games we were tied or ahead. Give the man a chance.

We need at least one starter and a pen guy.

How quickly you all forget we had a horrible June. The record is 9-14. Worst case scenario is 9-17, best case 12-14. Last June we were 12-14. So we may do a little worse, but we are still, by the grace of God, in first. Soon we will have Raul back, and hopefully others.

Am I worried – heck yes. I am more peeved though about the Mets fans than I am worried about the Phillies keeping first. We have to come back tot he NL East teams and bury them. We must, non-negotiable.

Will we? No clue.

You all can bitch about the bad pitching in the last two weeks all you want but the true fault mostly lies with the offense, yea the scored last night in the first inning, but come on three hits against this guy tonight, 3 or 4 hits against the rays the other night, I am not saying they should score 10 runs a game, but is 5 or 6 hits a night too much to ask, I would take that over how they played recently, even if they did not score a bunch of runs, but these guys just are not hitting.
How many more days til Raul is back, and does anyone think the 2 or 3 day benching of JRoll, whom I like as a player, will bring him back with some kind of heart, and bat.
I know it is only June but these guys need to get some fire in their eyes, and start playing better

CT- i agree.
Hamels didn’t have his best stuff but people need to remember that he is a power left-hander with a killer change-up like Santanta and Liriano who many of the Jays have seen over the years…but unlike Santana who has that hard slider of death, Hamels is primarily a two pitch pitcher whose curve is coming along. He should avoid it in 3-2 counts until he has mastered it.

this is why HAMELS needs that 3rd pitch…his curve is still under construction

the Jeltz award should go to “the 2009 Phillies” because this was a complete team loss here.

post game with Batalico or Mitch? Batalico seems to get more and more angry with each of these loses…espcially with some of these the call -up pitcher that these teams keep throwing our way…

What a terrible 2 weeks. Howard hit that game tying homer against the Red Sox and its been 2 weeks of pure torture.

joedad- the HOFer joe morgan said the same thing but when Lidge was tossing for the Stros….Also, Dave Duncan saw that Kyle Loshe was tipping his pitches, i.e. closing his glove for certain pitches, leaving it open for others…How could Dubee have missed this. Check out this article

with Floyd performing well for Ozzie “the tantrum” Guien, Loshe and Frankilin as Cardinal stand-outs makes me wonder. OMG we have a run, get out the defibrillator….

They should just start a benches clearing brawl. Give us some entertainment at least.

Yes, Greg, Dirk Hayhurst is going to give up 6 runs, that’s why, no doubt!

Yeah no kidding. They went from mediocre to good to mediocre to sucking to awful! I haven’t seen this lot every play so bad.

You are watching Georgie because Bruntlett and Ruiz are going to start a rally!
