   3 wins constitutes as a winning streak.

   Manuel is pretty dumb and will probably use Flash as the closer. They should give the ball to Durbin in the 9th.

   anyone else excited about Ruiz’s hunt for the .190s?

    Nice hit by Feliz, too bad the worst hitting catcher in baseball bats behind him.

11. Phil Says:
    July 3rd, 2008 at 7:36 pm

    Well, at least he didn’t GIDP!

12. Phil Says:
    July 3rd, 2008 at 7:54 pm

    That was a disgrace. J-Roll handed one of them an RBI.

13. Derek Says:
    July 3rd, 2008 at 8:01 pm

    That’s the kind of thing that’s going to keep them from winning a world series

14. Phil Says:
    July 3rd, 2008 at 8:10 pm

    There we go Ruiz! GIDP is your MO

15. NC Jason Says:
    July 3rd, 2008 at 8:11 pm

    Anyone else sick of Ruiz? – if it was possible he would GIDP that with no runners on base

16. Mike T. Says:
    July 3rd, 2008 at 8:37 pm

    Any time there’s a runner on first, and Ruiz is at the plate, I think he should be forced to bunt – even if they are two outs.

17. danny Says:
    July 3rd, 2008 at 8:49 pm

    YEAH PEDRO!

18. Phil Says:

    It’s official, we own the Braves, especially in Atlanta.

19. danny Says:
    July 3rd, 2008 at 8:51 pm

    I am excited for Ruiz.

    .209 now… Keep it going Carlos! only 10 more points to go!

20. danny Says:

    I can’t wait to whoop the Mets

21. danny Says:

    Why was Harold Reynolds booted off ESPN?

22. Phil Says:

    I wish Hamels pitch count wasn’t 96. I want to see him get another CGSO.

23. Rob Cowie Says:
    July 3rd, 2008 at 9:07 pm

    Sexual harrassment

24. danny Says:
    July 3rd, 2008 at 9:16 pm

    Hamels is a lock for the all star game now.

25. danny Says:
    July 3rd, 2008 at 9:16 pm

    Oh, I guess that’s reasonable enough.

26. Phil Says:
    July 3rd, 2008 at 9:21 pm

    Hamels is staying in it seems.

27. Phil Says:
    July 3rd, 2008 at 9:29 pm

    Aw man! Almost a CGSO!!!!

    Imagine if Franceour played in Philly. He’d be getting death threats from Phil and Geoff.

31. danny Says:

    St. Louis sure likes randomly getting destroyed at home. 9-0 Mets in the 3rd.

32. Geoff Says:
    July 3rd, 2008 at 9:38 pm

    im glad they at least showed their dominance when returning to their own division

33. Geoff Says:
    July 3rd, 2008 at 9:39 pm

    no im not that kind of fan.

    Mets come to Philly now…however, the mets ahve been on an offensive tear the last few days..and we know what a band box CB is..so we’re prob. in for some high scoring games.

    I just want to say, as much as I love Phillies Nation, it is way past time for there to be an Iron Pigs Nation! And I would have been lights out against these stiffs tonight!

    I don’t know if anyone posted this info but for those who are not aware of it as yet…. LHP R.J. Swindle had been optioned to Lehigh Valley. Unfortunately, he didn’t have a chance to throw one pitch.

    Good luck to JA Happ tomorrow night. He will have to mentally block out the thought of pitching against Santana and concentrate on the Mets line-up.

    Nice job calling up a guy and then not playing him. Really nice. now we are going to be forced to watch clay condrey again.

39. Phil Says:
    July 4th, 2008 at 12:22 am

    They should have DLed Gordon or sent Condrey down to the minors and gave Swindle a show.

40. philspan Says:
    July 4th, 2008 at 1:03 am

    I would have DFA’ed Taguchi or Condrey to keep Swindle. It’s ashame he didn’t get a chance to pitch, but I think we’ll see him pitch for the big league club sometime this season.

41. Geoff Says:
    July 4th, 2008 at 1:16 am

    THe phillies seem to always have these mental blocks where they NEED to have garbage at the back ened of their roster instead of giving a few younger players a chance to develop

42. Phil Says:
    July 4th, 2008 at 1:19 am

    You can’t have younger players develop if they’re riding the bench, ie Golson.

43. Geoff Says:
    July 4th, 2008 at 1:34 am

    thats why a creative manager will work them into games and find ways to get them adjusted and worked into it.

44. Geoff Says:

    i like this blog because people dont often post as players/sports figures, etc. thats SO annoying.

45. NJ Says:

    The problem is the Phils get into trouble when they try to cut corners and up with guys like Wes Helms which is why Feliz was such a solid pick-up. The bench is very good this year even with Taguchi playing poorly and there’s no space for the young guys. The problem we have with the big payoff/big risk prospects is their plate discipline is so poor in so many cases their not ready for the big team when there’s an opening (Mike Constanzo). The effective prospects are the ones that come up ready to play everyday and don’t just see garbage time so the position prospects are better left on the farm but the Phils do need to be more aggressive getting young arms into the pen. We may not be able to get a Kershaw like guy going in the rotation but we can sure as he get a Scherzer like guy furthering his game in the pen.

    Part of the issue with “furthering his game in the bullpen” is the fact that the starters are workhorses — for all the grief heaped upon them for not being dominent the Phils have four pitchers that would make about 80% of the leagues rotations as their #3 or #4. Just look at Swindle – who I’m sure they wanted to get in at some point the last few days – when would you have brought him in?

    Last night? Cole had a shutout going into the 9th, you let your ace try to finish unless their some issue. By the time you knew he needed to come out you want a vet there to close the door.

    Tues/Wed? Both nights Lidge came in because he was warmed up for a saved situation (you can’t expect a pitcher to suddenly warm up in four minutes because they scored an insurance run in the top of the 9th and you don’t warmup a pitcher that you don’t expect to come in just in case they score another run )

    At Lehigh, Swindle’s assured of getting work. Vets are more experienced and proven in being able to get the job done after not being used for 4-7 days. Yes even Condrey does a solid (not great) job in the role they ask of him. In Sept, when there will be a few makeup double headers and long stretches without an off day there will be more work and they’ll get their shot. While you’re always hoping to get more production it’s hard to improve on the job the bullpen has done. Charlie doesn’t always bring them in as soon as he should but when he has the usually keep the team in the game (except for the once a month or so Gordon blow up)

    Видела что-то наподобие в англоязычном инете, в Русскоязычном инете про такое как-то не особо часто посты увидишь.
