dude I defend Ruiz probably more than anyone on here.. I love the game he calls, and steadily say how Marson isn’t ready to take his place..

but Bako calling for a pitch has nothing to do with Durbin walking guys… I’m 100% positive that Bako wasn’t giving him the sign for THROW A BALL, and then repeating that sign over and over

Bako caught Blanton on July 10th, when the Phillies won 3-2 … the two runs were on bad pitches, one each by Blanton and Lidge both HRs
(That game when Blanton went into the 8th.. and the totals for the game with all pitchers include 6 hits, 1, walk, 8 Strikeouts)
Bako also caught the extra-innings on Tuesday night.. taking Chan Ho Park for 3 innings, and Condrey for 1 innings… combined gave up ZERO hits, ZERO walks, and 5 Strikeouts ..

Don M, Bako was the one laying down the signs to Durbin to throw, and Monday Night Chooch was laying them down and Chad looked like frigging Walter Johnson, or Cy Young out there on the mound so you tell me who is better at calling a game and knowing what to throw at hitters, The Catcher is the on-field general in Baseball, he is involed in every play directly or indirectly, you need a good game caller in order to win in the last 11 games Chooch is 10-0 and Paul Bako is 0-1 hell in the last 15 Chooch is 13-0 and Paul Bako is 0-2 excluding the game from this past Saturday Night which he started behind the dish and they were losing 2-0 to the Marlins before the rain out

Cubs will prolly come in 3rd or 4th in their division (Cardinals are better and I think the Astros are too)

I pray that the Cubhos’ make the playoffs and the Phillies meet them in the NLCS. The Cubs will go up 3-0 and stupid Cubs fans will start paying insane prices for WS tickets and outrageous prices for hotel rooms. They ‘ll even starting going over to Boston early. Then the Phils will win 4 straight and Redsox fans will laugh you all the way back to Chi-Town!

Redsoxs made another trade (traded Julio Lugo to the Cards for Chris Duncan)

And….Paul Bako was the starting catcher for a day game following a night game…fairly standard strategy.

Bako didn’t walk anyone.. Durbin did ..

Bako didn’t misplay three very catchable throws, or strikeout 3 times… Utley did..

Blaming a loss on Paul Bako is about as bad as the people who complain that Bruntlett doesn’t hit HRs … Bako was fine behind the plate.. but its really tough to frame pitches for strikes when Durbin and Lidge don’t throw it anywhere close to the zone

Don M, you are right, the Phils didn’t lose because of Moyer, they lost because of the Catcher who couldn’t call a good game to safe his wife and kids lives, he is trash and whoever voted Chase for the Steve Jeltz award needs to rethink that cause Bako is junk, he was the starting catcher Saturday night until the rains came thank you baseball gods for that night, Charlie might as well, face this fact Chooch needs to be the one behind the dish Bako, can’t call a good game!!!!!!!!!!!

IF the bullpen (Durbin, Lidge) had done their jobs and IF the offense had (Utley, Howard in particular) had done theirs….this game might have had a different outcome…..and Moyer may have had his 10th win….or at least a no-decision. No….you can’t give Moyer the Jeltz today.

And why was Matt Stairs striking out looking for the second day in a row? THAT sort of pissed me off.

Moyer didn’t honestly pitch that bad… the hits against him were all bloops over the infielders.. some errors played a part..

The fact that we scored more runs, FIVE, then Moyer allowed, FOUR, takes the blame off of him in my opinion.. we want him to be better, but he wasn’t the reason we lost today
