Gamenight: Phillies (27-22) At Astros (27-22)
Posted by Tim Malcolm, Fri, May 23, 2008 06:33 PM
For a second-straight night the Phillies offense poured on the power, striking down the Astros thanks to Ryan Howard and Pat Burrell. Back at a season-high five-games over .500, the Phils will try to claim a new mark when they face Brandon Backe and the ‘Stros at Minute Maid in game two.
Backe had his worst start of the season against the Phils on April 17. He gave up five earned runs (six in all) on 10 hits in just three innings. He’ll face Adam Eaton, who despite struggling most of the season, pitched well against the Astros this year. In his start he went six innings, giving up three runs on seven hits while walking two.
Pedro Feliz has seven hits in his last 13 at bats. Ryan Howard has six hits and six RBI in his last 10. Jayson Werth is out of the lineup, day-to-day with an oblique strain.
Combine Backe’s track record with Eaton and the Phils offensive boon and there’s a real possibility of a high-scoring affair. Then again …
Phillies: Adam Eaton (0-2) 5.59 ERA
Astros: Brandon Backe (3-5) 4.58 ERA
Gametime: 8:05 p.m. EST
Weather: 87 degrees, sunny
Lineup: Rollins, Victorino, Utley, Howard, Burrell, Jenkins, Feliz, Ruiz, Eaton

Your gamenight beer: “School’s out and there’s sort of a buzz, but back then I didn’t really know what it was.” Summertime is upon us, which makes Goose Island’s Summertime a good beer for the moment. It’s a very standard, summer beer, one that’ll do the job after a couple. Tonight eat some clam fritters, a nice summer treat. “Yeah I got on sneaks, but I need a new pair, cause basketball courts in the summer got girls there.”
Go Phillies!

Ever wondered what baseball and slots had in common?

Hoping Eaton can give us 5 decent innings or so. The games he pitches are my least favorite to watch. Can’t wait until he is gone. I am all for giving J.A. Happ a chance.

Tim another great beer pick and quote! I like the mid 90’s song selection. Go Phils!
May 23rd, 2008 at 9:52 pm
This team is SO inconsistent. eaton actually has done ok tonight only giving up 2 runs so far and they have only got one run off BRANDON BACKE???
May 23rd, 2008 at 9:56 pm
ugh. bad defense on that one
May 23rd, 2008 at 9:58 pm
Howard should have come up with that. Eaton looked like a solid pitcher tonite. Wish he could do that more. Maybe he will.
May 23rd, 2008 at 10:01 pm
You know what does suck though, watching Gavin Floyd throw a complete game on MLB.tv. I always manage to be watching when Floyd is pitching well.
May 23rd, 2008 at 10:05 pm
Why doesn’t Dobbs play full time? It is so frustrating to watch a guy get hit after hit and not play full time! If he is hot put him in. Uncle Chuck is a jackass for not making that call.
May 23rd, 2008 at 10:14 pm
Alright Howard- Shoulda never “brought em over” if you know what I mean
May 23rd, 2008 at 10:15 pm
They wouldn’t have intentionally walked Utley if Burrell was batting 4th.
May 23rd, 2008 at 10:45 pm
Thought we might get Valverde. I’ll give Valverde props for staying in there though. Gutsy finish.
May 23rd, 2008 at 11:07 pm
we always do well agianst valverde… dont get too high on eaton bc he always sucks in the end… dont talk abewt gavin floyd bc ill have to go off on gillick and then bruce and don m will have to yell at me
May 24th, 2008 at 1:05 am
That was a completely inadequate hitting performance. credit to backe. this team leaves way too many men on base to ignore. sick of it. sick of the pitching even though madsons the culprit tonight and not eaton. relievers cant afford to give up runs with teh frequency at which madson gets away with. unacceptable.
