   Howard should be shot for swinging at a 3-0 ball and then grounding into a DP. Note to Howard we are down 5-3 and we need base runners – please go to the plate with a plan and understand the situation.

   i need to check on this, but it seems like moyer almost always gives up 5 runs through 5 innings. i know hes had some good starts but this seems like the norm. thats unacceptable from your 3rd guy.

7. NC Jason Says:

   But lets be honest, he isnt really our thrid pitcher – more like 4th.

    There we go. Moyer stays undefeated against the Marlins and wins his 4th start in a row. Even when it was 5-1 i think we all thought we’d get right back in the game.

11. Geoff Says:
    June 1st, 2008 at 4:29 pm

    yeah he is the 4th. i dont know how they get away with giving up 5 runs early all the time. that cant continue. ncie comeback but they shouldnt have to comeback. gotta stop giving up so many runs.

    Way to go Phillies!! 2 of 3 from the Marlins and back into first place. Jamie hung in, Chase hit #20. Gordon got it through to Lidge Time and Lidge was, what Lidge seems to be all of the time — AWESOME!!

    I know he’s allegedly swinging the bat better overall, and his HR and RBI numbers ain’t bad, but Howard really still seems kinda clueless. Early in the game, against a (rookie? at least young) left hander, he swings away at the first pitch and flies out with a man on first. At least Burrell made the guy work and throw eight pitches the next at bat. And then swinging at a 3-0? DP?

    I’m beginning to think the problem isn’t his eyesight, his timing, his mechanics or anything physical like that. I’m beginning to think he’s simply got shit for brains.

    I’ll stop with the rant and take the win. Burrell once again proving his worth to the team and showing why he should be resigned. And how ’bout Jenkins coming through huge there? It seems like our bench is the best in the NL.

    I just got back from the clearwater game in sarasota. Joe Savery started and gave up 5 runs in 6 innings. Snelling didnt do anything at all, but dang does his appearance look similar to John Kruk. Baez started at third base and had a great game with a home-run. Adrian Cordenas the 2B looked strong also.

    So I’m graduating tomorrow and me and two of my friends are going to the game afterwards and we’re wearing Phillies gear under our graduation gowns and making a sign to hold up, it’s cute. So if you see that on TV it’s totally us!!

    I was amused with your “rant” on Howard. After you calmed down, I’m sure you took another look at Howard’s contribution in today’s game. He had a great at bat in the 1st inning with Utley on 2nd (after his stolen base). He came through with a clutch RBI single up the middle. Nice to see a run “manufactured” this way. Howard also took a hit in the ribs by an errant pitch in the 7th inning and later scored in the inning.

    Oh.. Howard also played some defense. A few lines from game report:
    ” Howard grabbed a sharp liner by Mike Jacobs and turned it into a double play in the sixth. Howard also made a sprawling catch on a sacrifice attempt by Jacque Jones in the seventh. ”

    Definitely a good day for Howard and a important win for our Phillies.

    Thanks, Bruce!! It’s not huge since we only have 4 people since it’s on my partial season plan, but I’m pretty sure it’ll be something along the lines of:

    The Heading: 2008 To Do List

    Go to prom (With a check next to it)
    Graduate (With a check)
    Go to College (With a box ready for a check; Pitt by the way!!!)
    Win the World Series (With a box ready for a check andddd with much more emphasis than the others) =)

    So maybe with our caps and gowns on and our sign we’ll make the TV! My seats are along the third base line, 135!

    Haha I kind of want to make a sign sometime that says “Chase, I’m a History major too!!!) since that’s what I am and that’s what he was and since I love him. And no, I don’t just love him for his looks! And I’ve loved him since he first came up, so I’m not just the typical girl Utley lover. Plus I know his stats and such!! =)

    ANYWAY. Go Phillies!!!

23. Phil Says:

    How can you not love Utley. He’s going to go down as the best Phillie of all time.

24. Clare Says:
    June 2nd, 2008 at 12:44 am

    I know, he’s simply amazing!!! I remember when he was just a utility player and I would get so excited to see him in the lineup playing 1st haha.

25. Phil Says:
    June 2nd, 2008 at 12:46 am

    It’s ashame we had Polanco because he coulda came up a couple of years earlier.

    Utley – You even have Mike Schmidt saying that he wishes he were more like Chase while he was playing. Who’s next Carlton? Utley is freakin off the hook . . . . .

    howard did not fly out with a man on first your rants are bullshit becasue your facts are not legitimate. he flew out to the wall after chase took the guy deep and they almost went back to back. get you facts straight before you start blasting people

    People need to stop trashing Howard. The guy has been in a slump(not as bad as of recently) but he’s going to come around when we need him most, after the all-star game. He’s still gonna pound over 40 homers and 120 RBIs. He puts fans in the seat. The most exciting thing about baseball is the long ball, and he does not fail at providing those for the Phillies. He’s been having much better at bats the past few weeks. He is a staple to the Phillies and a key reason that we have a chance at winning a championship. I don’t understand why people think we should trade him.
