2010 Gameday, Posts
Philadelphia Phillies (74-58) at Colorado Rockies (69-63)
Joe Blanton (6-6, 5.15 ERA) at Jhoulys Chacin (7-9, 3.79 ERA)
Time: 7:10 at Coors Field
TV: Comcast SportsNet
Weather: Clear, 65
Twitter: @philliesnation
It’s been an un-effing-believable west coast trip thus far, and the Phillies can cap it off tonight with a win over surging Colorado. A victory would make it a 6-1 road jaunt, a hell of a turnaround considering how they ended the last homestand against Houston.
Joe Blanton hasn’t lost a game in over a month. Think about that for a second. This guy was so bad in May and June that people wanted him banished from Philly for-ev-er. He’s turned it around, and at a very good time. Blanton has been a solid number four, but he’ll need to be so for the rest of the season – no more hiccups.
Scoring all of these runs has been a fun pastime for this team. In the thin air of the Rocky Mountains, against a pitcher they don’t know all that well, perhaps there is more to be had.

Thanks, Andrew.
Now let’s lock up these next two innings.
Just because I’ve been so hard on him thus far, I’ve got to hand it to Bastardo. It takes steel ones to get two strikeouts with bases loaded.

the Braves LOL
Really any phillies fan is worried?
Pieces of Ryan Howard stools are bigger than the entire braves roster.
I still say they dont make the playoffs.

DESIBRAVE—- you dont wanna go with the payroll argument , bad idea.
The PHILLIES spend cause we sell out every game. Maybe the BRAVES could have a 140 million $ payroll if somebody went to the games !
Thats tired anyway , whats the mets payroll got them ?
The only team with no true budget is the yankees.
Every other team has one , our team has spent what WE have given them ! I love that you said that though , know why ? Cause i can smell your FEAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope Braves fans are monitoring the wild card.
they just lost a half game to the Giants and Rockies
Braves fans should be hoping we win to hold the Rockies back on thier wild card chances.

Atlanta heads to Florida for 3 – they are 7-5 vs the Fish and then to Pittsburgh for 3 and they are 5-1 vs the Bucco’s.
We all know where the Phils are heading, home vs the Brewers for 3 then the Fish come to town for a 4 game series (double header on Monday).

DESIBRAVE : once again you opened your mouth and inserted foot.
Do you pay attention ? You just slammed the ASTROS and called them an “A” team . ——Let us informed real baseball fans teach you a little bit , its ok we dont mind. Do yourself a favor and look up the astros record the last 35 games , theyre 23 and 12 in those games. That hardly
makes them an “A” team.
