I betThe Phillies are going to be out of first place by the All-Star break. Last season was just a gift (thanks, Mets) and this season is merely a tease. We are just not that good. Maybe next year?

humina…
Here is some of what looks like for the books;
Rollins – .217
Victorino – .235
Utley – .266
Howard – .234
Burrell – .256
Werth – .277
Feliz – .250
Coste – .267 (2 for 16 in July so far, a .125 ba)
And the fan favorite – Carlos Ruuizzz – .178 for the entire month of June.

How many people are actually a little pumped by how the game finished up last night? How many games have the Phils come back to win this year after giving up an 8 spot (or close to it)?

Theyre underachieving too. But still overrated.

Well, the Giants are good but I’m not really afraid of the Jets, Knicks, Yankees, or Mets. The only thing those teams dominate is last place in their respective divisions and running a train on nyc pimpdaddy’s sister. I guess its not that big a deal since “nyc pimp daddy” is really a “bayonne mom’s basement”

Adam Eaton has allowed (not inlcuding errors) 168 base runners in 103 innings pitched. Nearly 2 base runners per inning!!! That is a major recipe for trouble.

We aren’t overrated, we’re underachieving.

Fran – I have been to a few of Eaton’s games as well -
6/20 gave up 6 runs in 5 innings
5/17 gave up 4 runs in 5 innings
5/06 gave up 4 runs in 6 innings
4/20 gave up 4 runs in 5 innings
4/25 gave up 3 runs in 3.2 innings

Are you saying this level of mediocrity is acceptable?
“If our starter can hold the opposing team to under 6 runs we have a chance” – we have been saved this year so far by the BP – this is very unusual for the Phillies.

We need someone to light the fire. Like I said in an earlier post – wouldn’t Rowand be a sweet addition batting behind Burrell?

Theyll have to pay him like 16mm + to go away too. but its worth it.

they also have to completely retool their lineup because its gotten stale. need a new everyday presence in the lineup who doesnt suck against good pitching. sorry but they do.

and of course they need a reliver and a starter and no, not brett myers.

this was a sickening loss of a series. the mets suck, toally suck and they took 3 of 4 in here because this lineup cant hit OLIVER PEREZ! and that other garbage. they actually got to santana which is strange and then sucked against the rest of it. they did hit well last night, but oh wait, adam eaton gave up 8 runs!rj swinle was more effective than adam eaton and actually should stay with this team.

Phillies = OVERRATED!

I’m not reading philliesnation until this litter of stupidity washes away.
