Gamenight: Cardinals (51-40) At Phillies (48-43)
Posted by Tim Malcolm, Wed, July 09, 2008 06:02 PM
First off, VOTE BURRELL.
Next, this team needs a win. Bad. And the offense needs to score. Bad. We’ve seen far too much of this pressing, pushing crap this team is doing. No more weak groundouts to start the game. No more 1-2-3 first innings. No more stranding a runner on second with no outs, or stranding a runner on third with one out. No more horrible Ryan Howard strikeouts on a low-and-away slider. No more Carlos Ruiz double plays. No more Jayson Werth strikeouts. No more fly balls to the outfield by Shane Victorino.
No. No more of any of that. The Phils will have to hit off Mark Mulder, making his first start since September. And they’d better. There’s really no excuse.
The Phils counter with JA Happ, who pitched well enough to earn an ovation last time out against the Mets. That was, of course, the team’s last win.
Phillies: JA Happ (0-0) 3.86 ERA
Cardinals: Mark Mulder (0-0) 13.50 ERA
Gametime: 7:05 p.m. EST
Weather: 82, scattered storms
Lineup: Rollins/Victorino/Utley/Howard/Burrell/Werth/Feliz/Ruiz/Happ

Your gamenight beer: Salvation, please! The offense needs to wake up and see the err of its ways. Tonight, pop open a Salvation, a peachy, amber kind of beer that is sweet to the touch. It better be the magic elixir this team needs. If not, is there anything this team can do?
Go Phillies!

Ever wondered what baseball and slots had in common?
July 9th, 2008 at 6:26 pm
good lineup, hope to see a win
July 9th, 2008 at 6:30 pm
Yeah, I like this lineup — but I like this better:
Victorino/Rollins/Utley/Burrell/Howard/Werth/Feliz/Coste/Happ
The only thing is three righties at 6, 7 and 8 – but it’s still my favorite.
July 9th, 2008 at 6:30 pm
Good luck with that one. That whooshing sound? The Phils going down the toilet…
July 9th, 2008 at 6:33 pm
Sorry Mike, new lineup in there. I was totally wrong at guessing Charlie. Same old lineup.
July 9th, 2008 at 6:34 pm
If they can’t beat Mulder..
i agree with the D-Bag Mets fan.
Whoosh!
July 9th, 2008 at 6:49 pm
gaahhhhhhhhhhh i hate the lineup now…get freakin ruiz out of there and werth up from the six spot!!!
July 9th, 2008 at 6:53 pm
We got this one. No way we’re losing 5 straight again, is there?
July 9th, 2008 at 6:54 pm
Credit to Charlie here. Good luck to the boys, hopefully they can show some discipline tonight otherwise we’re up sh*t creek and just had the paddle shoved up our arse…
July 9th, 2008 at 6:55 pm
As long as J-Roll scores a run, we need to score in the first three innings to win, dont ask me why, its just a feeling.
July 9th, 2008 at 6:57 pm
Man, the Mets fans have a lot of confidence. Was it not four games ago that they were saying how their team has no heart, no chance, etc. after the B9 loss? Honestly, they need to have Prozac night at Shea Stadium. They can have it right after the “Get Sterilized” night.
That being said, this team right now is flat. For the pitchers, it no doubt is demoralizing that, for the most part, they’re on their own. For the batters, I have no idea. Perhaps Alyssa Milano can help them–before it’s too late.
July 9th, 2008 at 7:16 pm
I don’t want to say anything that may be a jinx, but I have a feeling I’ll be smiling at the end of this one.
July 9th, 2008 at 7:18 pm
Greg, there’s no way to jinx this team right now. They can only get better from this point. Let’s just hope we don’t see K-How bunting in this one – apparently that means desperation.
July 9th, 2008 at 7:22 pm
Can happ do it tonight and deliver a good outing like he did for the most part against the 2nd team in ny.
July 9th, 2008 at 7:23 pm
I’m spending my rain delay time by VOTING FOR PAT!
July 9th, 2008 at 7:24 pm
me 2
July 9th, 2008 at 7:26 pm
We can vote all we want (and I have) but there’s no way Pat is beating out Wright. He’s a NY player. Let’s get real.
July 9th, 2008 at 7:30 pm
voting for pat is like an addiction… that vote again button is right there.
July 9th, 2008 at 7:50 pm
Walk on 4 pitches. Oh boy.
July 9th, 2008 at 7:51 pm
not a good start
July 9th, 2008 at 8:11 pm
It’s sad watching Mulder now. I honestly wonder if he’ll ever again start a major league game — he’s said he’d retire before he has another shoulder surgery.
But as far as the Phils are concerned: with the Cards’ starter leaving after 0.1 IP, this game becomes a MUST WIN. And I don’t toss terms like that around lightly.
July 9th, 2008 at 8:12 pm
Quality start from Mulder!
VOTE FOR PAT!
It is addicting!
July 9th, 2008 at 8:14 pm
i think mulder will be a reliever next year and a pretty dam good one and come on howard do something.
July 9th, 2008 at 8:15 pm
of course a dp
July 9th, 2008 at 8:15 pm
double play? ARE YOU SERIOUS?
July 9th, 2008 at 8:15 pm
Howard hits into a double play? What a shocker! If we can’t win off of the Card’s bullpen, this season is over!
July 9th, 2008 at 8:19 pm
Voting is ridiculously addictive.
http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/events/all_star/y2008/fv/ballot.html
Sucks about Mulder, hopefully the Phils can take advantage of the bullpen today…and tomorrow.
July 9th, 2008 at 8:33 pm
Oh look, Ruiz grounded out to 3rd.
July 9th, 2008 at 8:33 pm
oh man they cant hit anyone right now
July 9th, 2008 at 8:35 pm
ruiz= crap
July 9th, 2008 at 8:35 pm
They should do an exhibition game where Brett Myers and Kris Benson pitch against them. If they can’t hit them, CALL SOMEBODY!
July 9th, 2008 at 8:36 pm
Maybe if everyone grows a mustache, they’ll start hitting!
July 9th, 2008 at 8:39 pm
dont go there i say fu man chu like sal fasano maybe that will get the team going again
July 9th, 2008 at 8:40 pm
Great fielding from Pat, the All-Star!
July 9th, 2008 at 8:41 pm
same thing every game now why doesnt gillick do anything !!!!!!!!!!!!!1
July 9th, 2008 at 8:43 pm
the sarge is just basically saying someone needs to get their ass whipped in the clubhouse
July 9th, 2008 at 8:44 pm
sarge is annoying
July 9th, 2008 at 8:45 pm
This is not a good baseball team – period.
July 9th, 2008 at 8:47 pm
The phillies need to do something to put a spark into the team like bring up a young minor leauge hitter or something that can flat out rake it.
July 9th, 2008 at 8:48 pm
victorino has been thrown out all the time during this slump
July 9th, 2008 at 8:49 pm
they totally suck right now mike. it will change when they make some moves.
July 9th, 2008 at 8:49 pm
This is a slump that wont die.
July 9th, 2008 at 8:50 pm
Good job vic, get thrown out while your home run hitter is at the plate…that was totally a bad baseball move…you DO NOT steal while your home run hitter is at the plate, unless you have the lead
July 9th, 2008 at 8:50 pm
Hey Milt Thompson! Answer me this! Why are you still employed?
July 9th, 2008 at 8:51 pm
greg i second that question
July 9th, 2008 at 8:51 pm
happs pitching a good game atleast.
July 9th, 2008 at 8:52 pm
yeh i think happ is looking good so far.
July 9th, 2008 at 8:53 pm
Happ is doing great! Give him some run support!
July 9th, 2008 at 8:57 pm
Yea, give this poor kid some run support for christ’s sake. Maybe this whole team needs to have a slumber party at someone’s house and watch Tom Emanski videos. Maybe it can produce back to back to back hits at least.
July 9th, 2008 at 9:02 pm
some guy on sportsline.com phillies message board is reporting that the phillies have a deal in place for erik bedard for carrasco, golson, and domic brown. The responders dont believe him it was according to the poster of the thread reported by peter gammons. i dont beileve it but im trying to find info on it if it happen.
July 9th, 2008 at 9:04 pm
ahhh!! frustrating
July 9th, 2008 at 9:10 pm
well thats an opk deal, but i was hoping wed keep carrasco.
answer me this: if they wouldnt giv eup carrasco for CC why give him up for bedard?
i checked and was surprisewd that golson wasnt rated as one of their top 10 prospects
July 9th, 2008 at 9:12 pm
i dont know if this clown is kidding or peter gammons reported it i cant find anything but i also dont want to give up carrasco for this guy.
July 9th, 2008 at 9:15 pm
i cant find anything, but the top two outfield prospects and the top pitching prospect for your organization
seems like a lot but maybe one of those tow guys wont pan out
July 9th, 2008 at 9:16 pm
yeh i dont think this is a serious post
July 9th, 2008 at 9:19 pm
Yea, nothing concrete behind it at all. Thank god, don’t like the deal at all.
July 9th, 2008 at 9:19 pm
thats a lot for a guy with question marks
the A’s got a nice haul for harden but not a ransom, same with the indians.
the indians got laporta and 2 guys i never heard of before
July 9th, 2008 at 9:20 pm
ill bet antonio bastardo and dominic brown is more like it
July 9th, 2008 at 9:20 pm
Happ scoreless through 5, great job.
July 9th, 2008 at 9:21 pm
i guess we have to stay tuned for something with bedard.
July 9th, 2008 at 9:23 pm
happ has pitched well tongiht: automatically try to get rid of eaton, lol
July 9th, 2008 at 9:23 pm
yup he is better then eaton just being on the field.
July 9th, 2008 at 9:23 pm
Well, I’m outta here boys. I turn 21 in about 3.5 hours so I’m heading to the bar a little early. Have a good one and here’s hoping the Phils can put together a W.
July 9th, 2008 at 9:24 pm
hey phills fans what is this bedard stuff we keep hearing on SNY something they say could happen soon
July 9th, 2008 at 9:24 pm
nice. have a blast dude. get toasted.
July 9th, 2008 at 9:25 pm
THE GIDP WITH A SINGLE TO RIGHT FIELD?!? Only the 2nd time I’ve ever saw him hit the ball to the right side of the diamond.
Drink smart, NEPA.
July 9th, 2008 at 9:26 pm
this is good we actully got something semi productive fro gidp
July 9th, 2008 at 9:26 pm
yeah getg wasted but not sick man.
they need to teach happ how to bunt, they clearly forgot about that
July 9th, 2008 at 9:27 pm
holy shit jimmy did something!
July 9th, 2008 at 9:28 pm
omfg we scored
July 9th, 2008 at 9:28 pm
did you guys just hear Orel Hershiser say “Carlos Ruiz can really fly”
July 9th, 2008 at 9:30 pm
he is stupid but was a good pitcher but on espn he is really dumb in the things he says i like sutcliffe much better and he is always good comments on things.
July 9th, 2008 at 9:30 pm
“With Ruiz’s speed he knew he would score on a double easily”
July 9th, 2008 at 9:31 pm
its only on csn in my area
July 9th, 2008 at 9:31 pm
I just got home and watched Ruiz single, Jimmy triple, and Orel speak. Wow.
July 9th, 2008 at 9:31 pm
situational hitting…vic sucks at that
July 9th, 2008 at 9:31 pm
DANNY_ thats funny hey since you can see it on ESPN (NESN 2) did they mention anything about erik bedard to the phillies.
July 9th, 2008 at 9:32 pm
If this team can’t squeeze with Vic hitting and Jimmy and 3rd, I dont think they ever can
July 9th, 2008 at 9:33 pm
No, I havent’ heard anything, why do you ask Thom?
July 9th, 2008 at 9:33 pm
yeh i agree
July 9th, 2008 at 9:33 pm
they havent said anything and i cant find anything to confirm the rumors
July 9th, 2008 at 9:34 pm
some guy on sportsline reported that peter gammons reported that the phillies are close to making a trade for bedard for 3 prospects carrasco, golson and brown
July 9th, 2008 at 9:35 pm
I feel like it’s a foregone conclusion that we’ll get Bedard. It’s the move, it’s obvious
July 9th, 2008 at 9:36 pm
for some reason every outlet says we are the leading contenders for him
July 9th, 2008 at 9:36 pm
nice one howard. rbi single. nice and simple.
July 9th, 2008 at 9:37 pm
i think we get bedard too. Maybe the phillies think bastardo is their best pitching prospect instead of carrasco?
July 9th, 2008 at 9:37 pm
You know how we’re always talking about situational hitting and also talking about how much we hate Ryan Howard? He’s one of the only guys on this team that does hit in situations like that. That batting average with 2 outs RISP says it all.
July 9th, 2008 at 9:38 pm
nice hit howard way to go vic to go home.
July 9th, 2008 at 9:38 pm
if the rest of the team played as well as howard the past 2 weeks, we’d still be 5 games up on the division.
July 9th, 2008 at 9:40 pm
Howard has made strides in not looking like total shit recently. we need j-roll to step up and get good pitching we could get the ship righted.
July 9th, 2008 at 9:42 pm
2 RUNS, IT’S CHRISTMAS IN JULY EVERYONE! WOW-WEE!
July 9th, 2008 at 9:45 pm
I think Gammons was on ESPN news today and mentioned that the phillies were the front runners for Bedard with a package that may be centered around Carrasco, but ‘could include’ Golson and Brown. My roommate (a Muts fan) saw it and called me to see if I had heard anything. It’s all rumors still
July 9th, 2008 at 9:45 pm
So, if we get Bedard how are you guys going to feel about 4 lefties?
July 9th, 2008 at 9:46 pm
Someone buy Happ a beer and a lapdance at Risque after this performance!
July 9th, 2008 at 9:46 pm
wilson ok thank you and i like 4 lefties it can be a cool thing
July 9th, 2008 at 9:47 pm
Finally. Happ really got a great gift there with a quick inning. He’s pitching very well.
July 9th, 2008 at 9:47 pm
bedard will replace eaton. so yeah. ill feel uneasy about 4 lefties but thats what they have. happ 6 shutout innings 6 K’s NIIIIIIIICE
July 9th, 2008 at 9:48 pm
He struck out Ludwick and Ankiel twice each. 2nd and 3rd best hitters in the Cards line up. If he strikes out Pujols make him our #3. haha
July 9th, 2008 at 9:49 pm
Happ has pitched terriffic
July 9th, 2008 at 9:49 pm
4 lefties means if they go deep into a game they can go into the 7th and amybe get a lefty to begin the inning insted of using romero or swindle is still hear.
July 9th, 2008 at 9:50 pm
Hamels, Bedard, Kendrick, Moyer, Happ… still not doing it for me.
July 9th, 2008 at 9:51 pm
Well its offical Kris Benson is not going to help us, he got lit up for the third time tonight at AAA 4IP 7ER, now has an ERA of 11.77 in 3 starts
July 9th, 2008 at 9:51 pm
better then hamels, moyer,kendirck,eaton, happ no eaton is good enough for me
July 9th, 2008 at 9:52 pm
If we get Bedard and Myers can come back to full form, we could have a terrifying rotation with 6 pitchers to choose from.
July 9th, 2008 at 9:53 pm
yeh and that will put us in the lead for the divison lead for good.
July 9th, 2008 at 9:54 pm
agreed…the only other thing you could do is bring up Corasco then you have no experience going down the stretch besides Moyer
July 9th, 2008 at 9:55 pm
its better. id feel better about it if they got another outfielder and another reliver. one step at a time as long as it all gets done in 3 weeks time. but bedard has to be done today
July 9th, 2008 at 9:55 pm
You still have Burnett out there who has some nasty nasty stuff when he is on.
July 9th, 2008 at 9:55 pm
wel, today as in before eaton pitches again
July 9th, 2008 at 9:56 pm
I really really really hope Myers can come back and pitch to his potential. That guy could be a ridiculously solid #3 and break up our lefty core. This rotation in the post season could be pretty scary.
Hamels
Bedard
Myers(pitching to his potential)
Moyer
July 9th, 2008 at 9:56 pm
yeh if bedar pitched like he did for the most part in baltimore we should do fine as long as he never faces the yankees were good they lit him up a few times.
July 9th, 2008 at 9:57 pm
I would feel great about a rotation of Hamels, Bedard, Moyer, Kendrick, Happ.
Happ is pitching brilliantly. How much more fun is this to watch than Myers or Eaton?
July 9th, 2008 at 9:57 pm
No problem, I jumped the gun when I heard about too and came home to watch an hour and a half of espn until the segment reran. I don’t mind the four lefties that much. I am, however, uneasy about pulling a trigger on a deal for Bedard that involves even two out the three names rumored. Especially if the lineup continues to not produce, Bedard could get here and pitch excellently and still lose (kinda like Hamels has done this year) and we still don’t win the division. They all need a swift kick in the ass
July 9th, 2008 at 9:57 pm
I’d rather have Bedard than Burnett. Burnett just seems like another Brett Myers. We don’t need 2 headcases having fun in the minor leagues, plus Burnett’s contract is really dumb and I’d rather not deal with it.
July 9th, 2008 at 9:58 pm
Why does it matter if we have 4 lefty starters? They’re starters… it doesn’t much matter, right?
July 9th, 2008 at 9:58 pm
question….if you go after somebody like Nady, how does that help your lineup when you would then have two right handed right fielders? or do you think Werth is getting more playing time to “showcase” and be able to use him as bait for a trade?
July 9th, 2008 at 9:58 pm
Happ was he ever a top prospect at anytime
July 9th, 2008 at 10:00 pm
Bedard is a nice guy compared to burnett. i heard burnett is a jackass and a half.
i like watching happ pitch when he has his control in order. he has good stuff. better stuff than eaton has.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:00 pm
For the record, if we do get Bedard, Eaton will still be our #5. Charlie Manuel is a moron and won’t keep Happ up here if we get Bedard.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:00 pm
Orel just called it an ugly shutout.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:01 pm
Happ needs to come out. He’s pitched great. Give him a standing ovation.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:01 pm
no way phil. its TOO obvoius. eaton is worthless. scrap heap garebage.
happ better to have there than eaton because eaton can only get worse, happ can get better same as kendrick.
happ will comje out now
July 9th, 2008 at 10:03 pm
that was an absolute pleasure to watch
July 9th, 2008 at 10:03 pm
happ did good tonight. i like him could he be a second kendrick.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:03 pm
lets get the hold here. get some run support and give happ his first career major leagu ewin.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:03 pm
Nice to see Happ get an ovation! Damn fine outing from him tonight!
July 9th, 2008 at 10:03 pm
Happ rules. He looks like a scared little boy. I can’t wait to see what kind of stuff that guy will have once he develops up here. Once he loosens up he might be nasty.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:04 pm
it was very enjoyable and positive to watch. looks like he figured it out this year. i think he can improve his control a bit more. if he does that it allows him to go another inning. hell improve and hes worth keeping in this rotation this year and next year. obviously hell go to the pen in the playoffs is that comes to be. but i like his stuff and his potential. late bloomer i guess.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:06 pm
its time to get the junk (Eaton, now) out of the rotation.
its also time in the offseason to get the old man to retire, at age 46 for moyer.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:06 pm
This is a scary situation. Man on 2nd and 3rd. 1 out. 3-0 count. Pujols up next…
July 9th, 2008 at 10:06 pm
For those concerned about the lefty deal, that is kind of why I thought it would be interesting if we tried for Maddux (though he does have a no trade clause). If our bats are up to par, they could give The Professor the proper run support. He does want to be on contending team.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:06 pm
Shit, bases loaded Pujols…
July 9th, 2008 at 10:07 pm
I can’t watch! Bases loaded for Pujoles! NO!
July 9th, 2008 at 10:07 pm
shit. come up durbin man up now
July 9th, 2008 at 10:07 pm
we need a 6-4-3 deal here
July 9th, 2008 at 10:07 pm
Finally we get a good start from a home grown player not named hamels and kendrick cause mathieson and the list goes on suck.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:08 pm
ill take that good pitch durbin
July 9th, 2008 at 10:08 pm
Thom, I think Mathieson had potential, he just suffered from injuries. He still might mount a come back.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:09 pm
mathieson has potential but he can not stay healthy…that kid can throw…i was a spring training a couple years ago and he was lighting up the radar gun
July 9th, 2008 at 10:09 pm
is he still in the orgaization
July 9th, 2008 at 10:10 pm
60 day dl
July 9th, 2008 at 10:10 pm
I just listened to the Bedard interview with Missaneli.
Man, I miss Philly talk radio since I moved. Awesome interview.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:10 pm
Yeah, he is. He had a TJ surgery.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:11 pm
Where’s Joe Durbin at? Joe, we need your boy to come through here.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:11 pm
missanelli is putting howard eskin out of business. he has the same time slot as howard. its awesome.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:11 pm
Danny, where can you listen to the interview?
July 9th, 2008 at 10:11 pm
Yeah Mathieson is still with the Phillies. He is out for the year though.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:12 pm
http://www.950espn.com/Audio/tabid/183/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/1464/Seattle-Mariners-Pitcher-Erik-Bedard.aspx
July 9th, 2008 at 10:12 pm
Bedard just sounds like a shy, quiet dude.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:12 pm
thanks i thought he was gone that is what made me say he was a bust. I think espn 950 website has podcast of interviews
July 9th, 2008 at 10:13 pm
Well that was pretty much the second to the last thing I wanted to see
July 9th, 2008 at 10:13 pm
Nice hit by Glaus there. Ya gotta hand it to him. 0-21 before that hit, HAHAHAH
July 9th, 2008 at 10:14 pm
BOO!!! Happ doesn’t win his 1st game.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:14 pm
shit…happ deserved to win that
July 9th, 2008 at 10:14 pm
I miss Eskin and Missanelli. Not Gargano so much…
July 9th, 2008 at 10:15 pm
This is getting scary. This bullpen needs a rest.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:16 pm
the pen is blowing up but the ASB will help rest these guys.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:16 pm
I would drive Carrasco to Seattle for him.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:17 pm
If Durbin walks in the tying run I’m going to be very upset.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:17 pm
Yeah, that’s what I meant by the rest. haha They need to crawl into the ASB in 1st still. They are a 2nd half team.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:17 pm
we are finding ways to lose games instead of win them…where is the edge
July 9th, 2008 at 10:18 pm
there 2nd half schedule is horrible compared to the mets
July 9th, 2008 at 10:18 pm
Great work Chad… sweet deal.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:18 pm
We’re in this position again because the offense has been anemic yet again. Outside of two short little spurts of production there’s been nothing so again we run the bullpen into the ground instead of giving them a chance to pitch in a comfort zone.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:18 pm
Not only did Happ not get the win, but he doesn’t have that sexy sub 2 ERA anymore. haha
July 9th, 2008 at 10:20 pm
I could hardly watch!
July 9th, 2008 at 10:20 pm
Does anyone have any good suggestions for blood pressure meds? I need some after that!
July 9th, 2008 at 10:22 pm
Yes watch the game from the UK like me and you’ll be too tired to feel the full impact of an implosion…
July 9th, 2008 at 10:23 pm
Shouldn’t one of our homerun hitters put one out here? That should happen. That’s the thing to do here.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:25 pm
I just listened. If he can give 7 solid innings every time out there that’ll be fine. Not every pitcher is Cole Hamels and will throw 200 pitches if you let him. 7 innings 2 runs every time out should be fine. I’m really excited for the shake up. I think he’ll be in a Phillies uniform after the ASB.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:27 pm
WHY THE FUCK IS CONDREY IN THERE IN THE 8TH INNING WITH A TIE GAME!!! IS MANUEL RETARDED?!?! WAIT HE IS I FORGOT!!!
July 9th, 2008 at 10:27 pm
Clay Condrey in a tie game? You gotta be kidding me!
July 9th, 2008 at 10:28 pm
Whoa, he struck someone out.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:28 pm
Condrey in a tight game… Getting nervous now…
July 9th, 2008 at 10:30 pm
CC is unhittable!
July 9th, 2008 at 10:30 pm
Wow, Condrey struck out 2 guys. Give him the Ashburn Award for just doing something you could never imagine him doing.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:30 pm
Watch him load the bases now
July 9th, 2008 at 10:31 pm
crap we blew it for happ and condreys in cause the pen has loged alot of innings recently
July 9th, 2008 at 10:32 pm
HOLY SHIT!!!
July 9th, 2008 at 10:33 pm
Attaboy Clay! Sorry for doubting you!
July 9th, 2008 at 10:33 pm
Durbin goes 2.1, 2.0 every outing it seems and romero pitched everyday and they need a little break to get fresh again
July 9th, 2008 at 10:33 pm
great inning by condrey, i know it wasnt pujols and ludwick but he still did a good job
July 9th, 2008 at 10:33 pm
did i just see that? clay condrey just struck out the side in the 8th innings in a tied game? wow
July 9th, 2008 at 10:33 pm
just an update, the mets are about to win again, 5-0 in the top of the 9th w/ 2 outs.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:34 pm
METS WIN
July 9th, 2008 at 10:35 pm
and the mets win, now have a 5 game win streak, back to back shut outs, johan finally gets his win, lol, and they are now 3 games over .500 and 1 game behind the phillies, .5 if the phillies lose.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:35 pm
THERE IT GOES!!! 80 RBIs before the ASB!!!
July 9th, 2008 at 10:35 pm
YES!
July 9th, 2008 at 10:36 pm
Howard is going to have an amazing 2nd half
July 9th, 2008 at 10:36 pm
Finally we are rescued my the homer!
July 9th, 2008 at 10:36 pm
Jekyl and Hyde… Think we’ve seen got the better half tonight
July 9th, 2008 at 10:37 pm
great piece of situational hitting in a late and close game by the nl rbi leader.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:38 pm
Howard with a clutch homer at 0-2! LET’S HERE IT!
July 9th, 2008 at 10:39 pm
howard just blasted one. i think he is heating up at the right time. now lidge has to go earn that money.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:39 pm
Thats not situational so much as Ryan being Ryan… When he’s up with a tie game and the bases empty he’s swinging
July 9th, 2008 at 10:41 pm
Wow, they scored Santana some runs.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:42 pm
I agree, this is a 2nd half team, and Howard is a 2nd half player. Guy is going to go on a tear after the ASB.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:43 pm
Greg V. the word is “hear” …”here” is an adverb that means a location, “hear” is a verb that means a sound
also, thanks for putting it in caps so it was easily noticable
July 9th, 2008 at 10:43 pm
Phil,. he will also strikeout 200 times
July 9th, 2008 at 10:43 pm
FELIZ!!! SECURITY RUN!!!! FUCK YEAH!!!!
July 9th, 2008 at 10:43 pm
YEAH PEDRO!!!!!!!!
July 9th, 2008 at 10:44 pm
pete happy!
July 9th, 2008 at 10:44 pm
way to go Pete happy
July 9th, 2008 at 10:44 pm
That’s fine Joshua, and you’d take Delgado over him you tool?
July 9th, 2008 at 10:44 pm
just like yanks teams of years past…will hit tons of homeruns now in the regular season and then come the playoffs against good pitching it will be one series and done
July 9th, 2008 at 10:44 pm
Fuck you Joshua. Haven’t you ever made a typo?
July 9th, 2008 at 10:45 pm
hack wilson holds the mlb single season rbi record with 191. wow. in like the 30s.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:46 pm
How many times in history has a player led a league in home runs and RBI by the all star break, and not been an all star?
July 9th, 2008 at 10:47 pm
Probably 0, but Berkman is having a monster year, and Pujols is the best player in the NL. You can’t really argue that. Pads need a representative too, that’s why Gonzales made it over Howard.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:47 pm
for a long time it was 190… Not long back a baseball fanatic found another RBI for Hack to take it up to 191
July 9th, 2008 at 10:47 pm
thats an impressive record 191 rbi in one year. 80 rbi is a lot for july and hes on pace for likk 140-150 rbi is he keeps up the pace.
but 191? damn.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:49 pm
nice. thye foun d another one. lou gehrig is next with 184
July 9th, 2008 at 10:49 pm
No gonzalez made it bc hes batting 281 with 22 homeruns and 70 rbis…..not batting a shitty 220. like howard
July 9th, 2008 at 10:50 pm
well, howard IS on pace to strike out 200 times he already has the record for season high K’s and he is on pace to beat that.
Delgado, I don’t like him, however. He went 3-4 tonite, 2-3 yesterday, 2-5 the day before (against the phils), 1-5 w/ walk, the day before that, and 2-5 the day before that..actually if you been watching the mets lately, it looks like he’s been warming up himself.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:50 pm
mike w, howard is not an all star cause none of his rbi’s are in late and close games, and he’s a terrible “situation” hitter. oh, and anyone could have howard’s rbi totals in this lineup. that’s why.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:50 pm
That .281 avg would be nice if he had a guy like Burrell batting behind him and not someone shitty like Khalil Green or whoever it might be.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:51 pm
What an at bat by Schumaker, Holy Schnikes
July 9th, 2008 at 10:51 pm
Gonzo made it as a Padre was needed, rules are rules
July 9th, 2008 at 10:52 pm
Um, how is Howard a terrible situational hitter? A .350 BA with 2 outs and RISP isn’t situational? I would like to see how many of them are singles too.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:52 pm
that makes no sense Phil….By what your saying then teams would just pitch around Gonzalez and pitch to shitty khalil green…
July 9th, 2008 at 10:52 pm
Hey Howard is batting 230 now and has a 12 game hitting streak best all year and another thing I just looked at is he does have a higher strike out % with nobody on base then runners on and with RISP and 2 out batting 345
July 9th, 2008 at 10:53 pm
I would love to see Lidge strike out Pujols so bad.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:53 pm
Hey A-holes, go back and look at my post. At what point did I say Howard should be an all star?? Never. I’m just saying we might be witnessing the first time in history this situation has come up.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:53 pm
Keith it was .345 going into tonights game. I’m sure it’s around .350 now.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:54 pm
good enough
July 9th, 2008 at 10:54 pm
haha take that Pujols.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:54 pm
I so didn’t need to see a clip of that home run!
July 9th, 2008 at 10:54 pm
yea probably cuz he did that get that one RBI single with 2 out
July 9th, 2008 at 10:55 pm
i was being sarcastic, if it makes you feel better mike.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:56 pm
Lidge is so nasty, I love that he comes up and in on Glaus, frickin sweet!
July 9th, 2008 at 10:56 pm
How are people still hating on Howard? He’s been the only guy doing anything in this line up for the past couple of weeks.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:57 pm
he has 80 rbis he isnt even a problem right now. there are so many more pressing needs for this team.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:58 pm
and hes tied for NL lead in HRs like hes supposed to be
July 9th, 2008 at 10:58 pm
it’s philly fans, phil. your guess is as good as mine.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:58 pm
Howard takes slack because a guy of that calibre needs to be a leader and he pure and simple hasn’t been.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:58 pm
Pujols is a hell of a story.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:59 pm
I understand he is the most one dimensional player ever, but give the guy a break. He’s had to have had close to 40 RBI’s in the past month.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:59 pm
yea he is hitting like 340 so far in july and slugging 700
July 9th, 2008 at 11:00 pm
Howard isn’t a leader type. He gets paid to drive in runs and that’s it.
July 9th, 2008 at 11:00 pm
look at that patience and that at bat by glaus. if rolllins and victorino did this wed be 8 games up right now.
July 9th, 2008 at 11:00 pm
People hate on Howard because they want him to be Pujols
July 9th, 2008 at 11:00 pm
34 RBIs since June 8th
July 9th, 2008 at 11:01 pm
Hahaha Geoff, you’re so right! Instead Rollins and Vic hit like Ankiel.
July 9th, 2008 at 11:01 pm
Told you close to 40…34 RBI’s in a month is ridiculous.
July 9th, 2008 at 11:01 pm
Lidge should just keep throwing them those sliders in the dirt
July 9th, 2008 at 11:01 pm
YES!!!
July 9th, 2008 at 11:02 pm
Your the man Lidge! Gotta love that slider!
July 9th, 2008 at 11:02 pm
yes. ankiel looked silly.
July 9th, 2008 at 11:02 pm
hot damn.
July 9th, 2008 at 11:02 pm
Oh I’m sorry, if that prick Joshua is watching, I meant “You’re the man Lidge”
July 9th, 2008 at 11:03 pm
so JA Happ is the stopper here this time around…
July 9th, 2008 at 11:03 pm
So, who gets the Asburn award, Howard, Happ…or Condrey? haha jk about Condrey.
July 9th, 2008 at 11:03 pm
Im glad you guys got your moment of joy, you just saved yourselves from losing another game in the standings, lol.
July 9th, 2008 at 11:03 pm
something like 68 RBIs in his last 63-65 games
July 9th, 2008 at 11:07 pm
Enjoyed this one a lot. It was great to see Happ have a great major league outing, and even better to see the bats come through. That was a trademark home run from Howard and hopefully the one that turns it around! Great game!
July 9th, 2008 at 11:09 pm
Joshua, is it gratifying that you are such a loser that you troll on a Phillies blog? If I were that big of a loser I’d consider suicide.
July 9th, 2008 at 11:09 pm
Condrey got the Ashburn Award! I love it! He did pitch the best inning of the game!
July 9th, 2008 at 11:11 pm
Lots of mustache rides in the Bronx tonight it looks like! OH!
July 9th, 2008 at 11:11 pm
haha that is the only time Clay Condrey will ever get the Ashburn award.
July 9th, 2008 at 11:24 pm
Condrey always pitches well in close games and terrible in blow outs. I have no idea why though.
July 9th, 2008 at 11:51 pm
EVERYONE PAY ATTENTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pat needs our help!! Get off of the DAMN chat lines like little girls and VOTE VOTE VOTE!! Im over 1500 votes right now by myself. If just half of you gave half that many votes, Hed be n the lead right now! For 15 Hrs PROVE YOUR FANHOOD AND JOIN ME!!!! Im out
July 9th, 2008 at 11:51 pm
This Bedard rumor is killing me. Golson and Carrasco?! I was hoping Golson would get a second half call up when Taguchi goes on the DL for a bench splinter in the arse.
July 10th, 2008 at 12:27 am
Imagine it though. If we want a championship, Bedard could certainly be the missing piece. Hamels, Bedard, Moyer, Kendrick, and Happ. See ya, pitching woes!
July 10th, 2008 at 12:29 am
Everyone keeps forgetting the possibility of Myers having a triumphant come back. I know it’s a long shot, but if Myers pitches to his potential we’d have a really good 1-2-3 punch going into the post season.
July 10th, 2008 at 12:32 am
does anybody else think that steve phillips is the biggest d-bag you’ve ever heard in your life? every time i watch baseball tonight the guy is saying something that is so stupid it’s hilarious. him and chris wheeler are the two people i hate most in all of baseball.
July 10th, 2008 at 12:34 am
I just felt a Phillies fan named Josh should chime in here. Nice to finally see a win here. Now how about we split the season series with them tomorrow. While we’re here, can someone explain to me how the fuck Wagner is an all-star?
July 10th, 2008 at 12:36 am
Did anyone happen to catch toyota sports night tonight? I’m curious to what is on Charlie Manuel’s wish list. They said it wasn’t a starting pitcher.
July 10th, 2008 at 12:46 am
howard with the number 1 web gem on baseball tonight…. well half of it at least
July 10th, 2008 at 1:02 am
I just checked back after my 5th session today. Look at the F’n Blog you are on people! First line says “First off, VOTE BURELL!” You call yourself Phillies fans? If thats the case then I am ashamed to call myself a Phillies fan
July 10th, 2008 at 1:20 am
i saw sports night, charlie was saying he wants another hitter in the lineup
July 10th, 2008 at 1:41 am
I am Amazed!! Am I an F’n ghost???? U all r most definately worse fans than Mets Fans!!!! Go F urselfs! If I was ‘The Bat’, I would leave in a heartbeat. I love Pat but no one in Philly gives a shit about him. Just don’t dog him when he goes somewhere else! I guarantee the Brewers & the Mets fans care more. I am disgusted right now 4 real
July 10th, 2008 at 1:57 am
Sorry I haven’t been around tonight. Watched the last few innings at he bar and had no internet access. Happ looked great, Howard is set for a big time second half. Let’s finish out the first half strong.
July 10th, 2008 at 2:06 am
Woooo I was there! Happ got a verrrry hefty standing ovation which I’m sure was already mentioned.
July 10th, 2008 at 6:28 am
Thanks Amanda
Phillie Phan Phrom Aphar…shut up.
July 13th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
Greg, “Addicting” isn’t a real word.
