Gamenight: Phillies (10-10) At Rockies (9-10)

Posted by Tim Malcolm, Tue, April 22, 2008 07:13 PM

And on the fourth day, they try to get above .500. Again.

It’s the fifth time the Phillies will try and get above the mediocre mark; if our team’s trend says anything, it’s that they’ll lose tonight — but hey, that ain’t happening. Brett Myers is coming off his second-straight solid start while Colorado starter Jeff Francis has had one good start this season, and that was at Petco Park. Francis beat the Phils in game one of the 2007 NLDS.

The offense got going yesterday with some clutch hits; tonight they’ll try and rip off a few more en route to a two-game sweep in Denver. Phillies Nation is at the game.

Phillies: Brett Myers (2-1), 3.96 ERA
Rockies: Jeff Francis (0-2), 5.89 ERA

Gametime: 8:35 p.m.
Weather: 59 degrees, mostly sunny
Lineup: Taguchi/Werth/Utley/Howard/Burrell/Feliz/Ruiz/Bruntlett/Myers

Your gamenight beer: So our great public relations director, Rob Cowie, wanted me to recommend Miller Lite tonight. I’m happy to oblige. Here’s Rob’s recommendation: “Quite simply I hate Coors and its products. Even though Miller Lite isn’t a top-flight beer … it’s great for binge drinking and beer pong tournaments. It would also go great with a cheesesteak from either Frusco’s or Chink’s, Northeast Philly style.” What, Rob, no Steve’s Prince of Steaks?

Go Phillies!

    f the the caps!!!!!!!!!!

  2. Mike T. Says:

    Miller Lite, Coors Light, Bud Light – they’re all horrible.

  3. Tim Malcolm Says:

    God, Chase is unreal.

  4. Paul Says:

    Utley is so locked in right now.

  5. Rob Cowie Says:

    Well this sucks

  6. Clare Says:

    Well no it doesn’t. Geeez. And someone control their cheer-for-everything-ness.

  7. Tim Malcolm Says:

    They should’ve got more out of that one. You get gifts, you run with them.

  8. Mike T. Says:

    The Phils seem to be hitting the ball a lot better – not many hits, but a lot of hard hit balls.

  9. Tim Malcolm Says:

    It takes the Phillies 15 minutes to score a run; takes the Rockies 2 minutes. That’s the difference of clutch hitting.

  10. Brian Michael Says:

    Burrell should not have dove for that ball and rather cut it off instead. It would kept Hawpe to a double.

  11. Clare Says:

    I hate this park!

  12. Paul Says:

    Phillies hitters need to pretend that the bases are always empty.

  13. Tim Malcolm Says:

    Yeah, the Phils have to take better advantage of this park.

  14. Clare Says:

    We will, don’t worry!

  15. Fran Says:

    Is this game blacked out in the Reading area????

  16. Rob Cowie Says:

    Jesus. I want to go home.

  17. Paul Says:

    Sounds like Myers isn’t fooling anyone, are all these balls getting hit that hard? I’m listening on XM…

  18. Mike W. Says:

    FLYERS WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

  19. Fran Says:

    FLYERSSSSSSSSSS ROUND 2

  20. Tim Malcolm Says:

    Rob, it’s a one-run game. Calm down, baby. But how bout them Flyers?

  21. chris m Says:

    Flyers!!!!!!!! The great ovejkin sucks…anybody watching on versus and listening to those homer annoucers? i coodnt take them anymore

  22. Tim Malcolm Says:

    Ovechkin certainly doesn’t suck, but I’m glad it’s over — I couldn’t take much more of the love-fest for him.

  23. Rob Cowie Says:

    We’ll right now I’m emotionally attached to the outcome of this game.

  24. Tim Malcolm Says:

    I think they’ll at least tie it back up. But that’s me and my optimism.

  25. Geoff Says:

    Yes, Jayson Werth smoked that ball outta there. What a great win by the flyers, redeeming themselves in a tough game 7.

  26. Tim Malcolm Says:

    Told ya, Rob, I told ya!

  27. Clare Says:

    Ah, sometimes I like having Jayson in better than Shane, don’t tell my friend though, she’s obsessed with Shane.

  28. Rob Cowie Says:

    The girl who ran on the field was delicious and sexy.

  29. chris m Says:

    uhhhhhhhhhhhh!

  30. Geoff Says:

    Your starting pitcher CANNOT give up 6 runs. he hung that right in the happy zone too

  31. Tim Malcolm Says:

    Kept Brett in way too long.

  32. Rob Cowie Says:

    Unbelievable

  33. Geoff Says:

    especially the opening day starter..good grab by utley to end the inning

  34. Tim Malcolm Says:

    You guys did get photos of the streaker, correct?

  35. Geoff Says:

    oh no wait i was wrong he walked somebody before that. my bad. garret atkins, come on man you cant give up a homerun to that guy.

  36. chris m Says:

    please no madson

  37. chris m Says:

    i want pics of that streaker too

  38. chris m Says:

    geoff swings at more balls then any mlb player…even howard

  39. chris m Says:

    everytime he pinch hit he swings at ball 4 with a full count…im so irritated right now

  40. Geoff Says:

    Jenkins just took 3 really bad upward golf swing rips that looked terrible

  41. Tim Malcolm Says:

    Jenkins is worthless right now. Over and over.

  42. Geoff Says:

    yeah he basically hasnt done anything all year. contributed to a few wins but not much else. no consistence, no clutch hitting. not enough HR not enough RBI

  43. Geoff Says:

    nice, steady, easy swing by dobbs gets the run in.

  44. chris m Says:

    jenkins cant pinch hit…he needs at bats to see the ball all right

  45. Tim Malcolm Says:

    Boy, Dobbs is a hell of a pinch hitter.

  46. chris m Says:

    that puts chase up in the ninth

  47. Tim Malcolm Says:

    It’ll be Taguchi, Werth, Utley. I’d think Coste comes in to catch and Harman takes over at shortstop.

  48. Geoff Says:

    jenkins is .254 on the year with ONE homerun and 3 rbi. thats even worse than i thought, thats terrible. totally horrendous

  49. Paul Says:

    Felix in a short… odd.

  50. Greg Says:

    Can they pinch-hit Taguchi with Hamels in the 9th? Once Snelling is back they should So to the minors.

  51. chris m Says:

    wow he looked so safe but that slow mo surprised me

  52. Clare Says:

    Shit, that was a nice call.

    The last replay showed he really was out.

  53. Paul Says:

    Ooops, I meant Feliz.

  54. Geoff Says:

    wow, madson actually got some people out wihtout giving up a run

  55. Geoff Says:

    he needs to be the type of guy that gets k’s though. he seems to pitch to contact more often than not. that could just mean that he isnt good though

  56. chris m Says:

    good call grege

  57. chris m Says:

    chase! chase! chase! and taguchi with the running….another good call greg

  58. Brian Michael Says:

    Oh please Ryan, do something for crying out loud.

  59. Mike W. Says:

    wont get a chance to

  60. Greg Says:

    great by Utley…c’mon Howard, I still have faith.

  61. Paul Says:

    It’s going to be up to Burrell, fly ball at least please!

  62. Brian Michael Says:

    IBB is good enough

  63. Greg Says:

    oh, I almost forgot other teams still fear him even under the Mendoza line

  64. Clare Says:

    I just ruined both my vocal cords and hands!
    YES!

  65. Mike W. Says:

    PATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!

  66. Geoff Says:

    YES! 3 rbis on a base clearing double pulled out of the dirt!

  67. chris m Says:

    man or machine?

  68. Greg Says:

    YES im jumping up and down like a little kid!

  69. Tim Malcolm Says:

    YEWAH BABY!!!WW

  70. Clare Says:

    Haha they’re all quiet now, gotta love it!

  71. erik Says:

    machine

  72. Paul Says:

    I have Corpas on my fantasy team, and I could care less! Right on Pat! Would be nice to get another run…

  73. chris m Says:

    feliz and jenkins are terrible situational hitter.we needed that run without lidge…please no gordon

  74. Geoff Says:

    hes gonna try to get away with using lidge 3 nights in a row

  75. Tim Malcolm Says:

    This is freakin’ awesome. A clear-cut machine.

  76. Greg Says:

    this site is faster than MLB radio

  77. chris m Says:

    its good to see a lot of comments a couple games in a row

  78. Mike W. Says:

    Way premature, I know, but this might be the best closer we’ve ever had.

  79. Fran Says:

    pat the bat MVP

    remember fran has been saying it since the 1st game

  80. Geoff Says:

    when lidge is on hes very good. that slider is fierce

  81. Paul Says:

    3 wins in a row! And over .500! Right on Phils, nice to see Lidge work quickly and dominantly in the 9th too.

  82. Clare Says:

    Lidge is naaaaaaaaaaaasty. Like holy shit.

    Anyway, that win was golden!

  83. Tim Malcolm Says:

    What a road trip for you guys. Party up before that red eye, kids. Have fun.

  84. erik Says:

    mets, marlins, and braves lose… phils win, very productive tuesday

  85. Mike T. Says:

    The only thing more impressive than Lidge’s slider… is his back door slider. Ugh, nasty stuff.

  86. Tim Malcolm Says:

    Mike, very immature. But hey, he looked flat-out dominant. That slider/fastball combo is freakin’ wicked.

  87. Brian Michael Says:

    Sweep Revenge!

  88. Clare Says:

    Probably will be headline.

  89. Fran Says:

    I love how were taking advantage of the late comeback oppertunties

  90. Greg Says:

    let me take the time to extend my apologies to So Taguchi…
