Gameday 2009, Posts
Philadelphia Phillies (32-20) at Los Angeles Dodgers (37-19)
Jamie Moyer (4-5, 6.75 ERA) vs. Eric Milton (2-0, 3.14 ERA)
Time: 10:10 p.m. at Dodger Stadium, Chavez Ravine, Calif.
Weather: Mostly sunny, 61
TV: Comcast SportsNet
Twitter: Phillies Nation
The Phillies will seek their eighth-consecutive win as they take on the Dodgers tonight.
Jamie Moyer, who pitched very well in his last outing, will take the hill. Against Los Angeles on May 13 he had one of his worst outings, giving up seven runs without getting out of the fifth inning. Lately, however, Phils starters have been sparkling, going into the sixth inning in each of their last 16 games.
The Dodgers will counter with former Phillie Eric Milton. Left-handed hitters are just 1-for-13 against him this season; righties are a cool 14-for-43.
A rightie, Pedro Feliz is hitting .545 off Milton since 2004.
Your gamenight beer: Don de Dieu is one of the fruitier Belgian strong ales out there. Of course, it’s brewed in Canada, by Unibroue. It’s a sweet and expensive beer that comes in at 9 percent alcohol content, so sip carefully. I’d go with some calamari tonight. Maybe some fritters. I’m just feeling the summer mood coming in. And hey, do yourself a favor and turn on the radio tonight. Whether it’s the Phils broadcast or the legendary Vin Scully, you can’t go wrong.
Go Phillies!

If Jamie blows up against the Dodgers, expect Chan Ho coming out of the pen.

Is anyone following the rumor that there is trade talk between the Phils and the BoSox concerning Jason Donald for Brad Penny?

Penny didn’t pitch that well today, the Braves might also be after him or whatever. rumors rumors galore.

The Red Sox do this all the time: They tell everyone what they want for their overhyped/overvalued players.

I got Vin Scully tonight on Extra Innings®. I am listening to him as he IS also the man. Cannot go wrong with Mr. Scully.
Tim Malcolm – I am serious, we don’t need to be trading now at all. Let’s evaluate what we have and see what we need on July 1. Penny sucks the past two years. Let him go to the mets.

SC: per usual, the Nats are allowing four outs per inning with their sub-par fielding.

Nats just blew that one. Mets about won barring a massive comeback from the Nats. In the Nats defense though, the Mets run came frmo a blown call. Oh well, as long as we win it won’t matter.

Watching the Nats/Mets game is like minor league… without the dizzy bat race.

Maxhole – looks like 6-2 ERA is hard to determine though

Well, as I said, the Nats did get a bad call that would have won them the game 1-0. So I don’t blame the Nats for this one entirely. BOTH of those teams played pretty horrible. I am surprised the Mets are as high up as they are right now – and that I am even worried about them right now.

Maxhole – he was honored to be a part of the team and he appreciates the other players. They should also enjoy the game. Nice speech, he was emotional though.

I normally do not like listening to away announcers, but I love hearing Vin Scully. Gosh, that was ball 2.

Why would a left-handed pitcher ever throw Howard a strike?
