Gamenight: Cubs (6-3) At Phillies (4-6)

Posted by Tim Malcolm, Fri, April 11, 2008 05:30 PM

The Phils walked out of Shea Stadium with one win to show for it, and two games that featured wild, wacky and what-the-hell moments. Now they focus their attention on the hot Chicago Cubs, coming back home for a weekend set. The Cubs feature Alfonso Soriano, Derrek Lee and the sweet-swinging Kosuke Fukudome. If he beats us with a home run or big hit or amazing catch, I will not write “Fuck You, Dome” as a headline. I will not. I promise.

Jimmy Rollins will again be a game-time decision. Rain will be pouring all day — look for a possible postponement and doubleheader tomorrow.

Phillies: Brett Myers (0-1), 6.30 ERA
Cubs: Carlos Zambrano (1-0), 1.32 ERA

Gametime: 7:05 p.m.
Weather: 66 degrees, showers

Your gameday beer: With Brett Myers facing Carlos Zambrano, it’s a battle of two of the chubbier starters in the National League. For that, grab a Stoudt’s Fat Dog. This imperial stout tastes like chocolate and coffee, and since Myers probably loves chocolate and gets amped up on caffeine, it’s the perfect choice for this matchup. Sip it slow with a big, fat slice of cake. Brett wouldn’t want it any different.

Go Phillies!

    I didn’t watch the game, but from what I’ve read, this game epitomizes how the season is supposed to be going (aside from Rollins’ injury).

    Myers went eight strong.
    Vic got on base three times and scored a run.
    Burrell inspires fear in opposing pitchers.
    Lidge picked up a workmanlike save.

    Charlie finally is letting Bruntlet rot in the eight hole where he belongs. Which brings me to my point: why not let Utley bat second, and keep the next two or three guys in a row. In other words, until Jimmy comes back:

    Vic
    Utley
    Howard
    Burrell

    After that, it’s a coin toss between the right fielder, the catcher and the third baseman (depending on who is pitching, who is hot, etc.). Then Bruntlet, then pitcher. Maybe, you even bat Burrell third and Howard fourth.

    I’m not sure why Charlie feels the need to keep Utley in the three-hole and Burrell in the five-hole during these games when Rollins is out. Burrell is hitting .400; give him a shot to get another at-bat per game.

    Thoughts?
