   Odd looking lineup. But 2-0 already thanks to Coste!

   And immediately Manuel’s move to start Coste and drop him into the No. 5 slot pays huge dividends.

   thanks steve smith for being at a graduation bc if you were here you wouldn’t send utley and it would only be 1 to 0…romon henderson for full time 3rd base job…any1 else with me

   Yeah the lineup blew my mind.

   Gutsy call by Ramon, however, for sure. But Utley goes hard the whole way and screws up Doumit in the process. It was a good call.

   Ha. Utley picks at first better than Howard.

   Jayson Werth is unreal. What a player — liking him more each at bat.

   Machinista! Great hustle by Burrell the whole time – Phils take advantage of Pirates poor play.

   feliz just cant hit….he grounds out to the left side more then not…he cant hi and we bring him into field and itseems like hes not very good at that either….henderson for 3rd base coach!!!!!i like his agessiveness with burell to, m not sure smith makes that call

    Burrell was going strong the whole way — glad Henderson let him go there.

    how abewt coste on nites like this at first base? any clue if he could play there? i dont like seeing utley play first bc i dont want his throwing to get ewtta sync

13. Tim Malcolm Says:
    April 25th, 2008 at 8:11 pm

    Boy, I really like Jayson Werth. What a player.

14. Tim Malcolm Says:
    April 25th, 2008 at 8:12 pm

    Coste can play first; it’s a nice idea. And you make a good point about getting Chase out of whack by taking him off second. Also, are you drunk? “ewtta”? That’s way off.

    Really liked pulling Eaton there — show the idiot he has to pitch well to stay in games. Chris, no problem. Just make sure you’re drinking right now.

    whats new from feliz…do we know if milt is working with him? because it seems like he has a ton of probllems with his swing

19. chris m Says:
    April 25th, 2008 at 8:33 pm

20. chris m Says:
    April 25th, 2008 at 8:40 pm

    durbin had a game like this comming…cant blame him hes pitch well so far so i let him off the hook for this

21. Tim Malcolm Says:
    April 25th, 2008 at 8:43 pm

    Well they had to make it interesting…

22. Tim Malcolm Says:
    April 25th, 2008 at 8:58 pm

    Big job, Durbin. Offense: DO WORK.

24. chris m Says:
    April 25th, 2008 at 9:04 pm

    too early to sub him!!!!!!!! this really pisses me off

25. chris m Says:
    April 25th, 2008 at 9:05 pm

    four groundouts to the left side…this is not unusual….his swiing is only built for that

26. Tim Malcolm Says:
    April 25th, 2008 at 9:07 pm

    I’m going out in a bit; I bet everyone else is out. No worries. Shit, you should go out too.

27. Gavin Says:
    April 25th, 2008 at 9:10 pm

    I’m not watching the game. Did Bohn run for Burrell as a defensive replacement or did Burrell get hurt?

28. chris m Says:
    April 25th, 2008 at 9:13 pm

    def replacement

29. Gavin Says:

    sigh of relief…..a little early for that.

31. Greg Says:
    April 25th, 2008 at 9:15 pm

    We’ve been getting some gutsy W’s, but damn, we sure don’t get ANY easy ones.

32. Gavin Says:
    April 25th, 2008 at 9:17 pm

    Thats the lineup we all pictured out of ST isnt it. In fact it looks like an actual ST lineup. Damn.

33. chris m Says:
    April 25th, 2008 at 9:20 pm

    no easy 1s ever

34. Tim Malcolm Says:
    April 25th, 2008 at 9:22 pm

    Hey, Sixers are HOUSING the Pistons. Awesome.

35. Greg Says:
    April 25th, 2008 at 9:25 pm

    why would you bring Howard out? Gordon has a better shot at moving the runner.

36. chris m Says:
    April 25th, 2008 at 9:28 pm

    im making a bold prediction on this atbat that howard will strike out

37. Greg Says:
    April 25th, 2008 at 9:29 pm

    FOUL!

38. chris m Says:
    April 25th, 2008 at 9:29 pm

    wow how suprising

39. Greg Says:
    April 25th, 2008 at 9:30 pm

    AND HE MOVED THE RUNNER! great AB, Ryno!!!

40. Paul Says:
    April 25th, 2008 at 9:31 pm

    Howard is so lost right now.

41. Greg Says:
    April 25th, 2008 at 9:32 pm

    i dont see the logic in bringing him out to face one of the toughest pitchers for lefties to hit.

42. Tim Malcolm Says:
    April 25th, 2008 at 9:33 pm

    Again, you don’t bring in a player you intentionally sit to pinch hit. Bad, bad, bad.

43. Greg Says:
    April 25th, 2008 at 9:38 pm

    i disagree. the game is far more important than psychological maneuvers. I just don’t think that was the right spot. If we could have built on 6-0, then that is a leisure you can afford to take.

44. Tim Malcolm Says:
    April 25th, 2008 at 9:51 pm

    Romero = clutch.

45. Tim Malcolm Says:
    April 25th, 2008 at 9:53 pm

    Sorry, Greg, but Jenkins would’ve at least put his bat on the ball. Howard needs to sit and not be part of the action. Even Charlie said himself that it got to the point where it didn’t matter who was on the mound (because he owned Suppan). It doesn’t matter the situation; Howard should NOT have hit.

46. chris m Says:

    i have a bad feeling bout this half inining.i hope im wrong

47. chris m Says:
    April 25th, 2008 at 10:00 pm

    wow this slider is vicous

48. chris m Says:
    April 25th, 2008 at 10:02 pm

    ive never loved being wrong more

49. Greg Says:
    April 25th, 2008 at 10:02 pm

    i think we’re arguing different points. Game trumps scheduled day off, but in this case Howard might as well be swinging a toy bat right now.

50. Greg Says:
    April 25th, 2008 at 10:03 pm

    Lidge is dirty

51. Tim Malcolm Says:
    April 25th, 2008 at 10:03 pm

    Brad Lidge is RIDICULOUS.

52. Paul Says:
    April 25th, 2008 at 10:09 pm

    Wow. Lidge is dealing so far this year!

53. Greg Says:
    April 25th, 2008 at 10:10 pm

    nice to see we can still win when Utley and Burrell show they are still human and have a slow night.

    God the Phils suck, chock this one up as another one in the L column.

56. Tim Malcolm Says:

    Thanks Matt, I mean Gnomicide. “abewt” is becoming part of the Nation’s vernacular.
