   This is the make or break game. College football is looking real good over these Phillies over late though.

   Ah come on dude, through the good and bad…

   Stick to football! College that is!

   DENIED!

   Wow – this board is unbelievable. All of the sudden the Phils start losing, and – surprise! – no one is here. I guess Rollins was right.

6. Georgie Says:

   No way, Christian, I’m always lurking, but have to clean for a picnic tomorrow, trying to watch the game at the same time.

7. TJ Says:
   August 30th, 2008 at 4:25 pm

   Ive pointed that out before Christian. Who wants to talk about a loss on a blog though? Thats no fun. That doesnt mean that the fans arent loyal though.

   NJ – Ive been here through the good and bad, is it a crime to take football days off? I personally dont think so.

8. TJ Says:
   August 30th, 2008 at 4:33 pm

   Wow, nice contact there by Myers.

   Anyone else just HATIN’ the Cubs?

10. TJ Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 5:01 pm

    Mickey D – They are just a really solid fundamental team and the only reason I would hate them is because I’m jealous of them. We need a new manager.

11. NJ Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 5:01 pm

    No offense meant TJ, just meant have a little faith. We’ve lost a couple but at least we’ve been playing better overall to think we’ll be in the mix come the last week of the season.

12. FRONT Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 5:01 pm

    RUNNERS!

13. Georgie Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 5:04 pm

    These umps suck-Howard had him on the foot.

14. TJ Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 5:09 pm

    Werth is our best player on offense behind Vic this year.

    I’ve been here too, but have been doing a fantasy football draft. Let’s hope the bullpen can hold on to this one!

17. Jamie Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:04 pm

    Hopefully Myers can go one more to get us to Lidge. Give the rest of the pen a day off to rest and collect their thoughts.

18. Joe Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:10 pm

    Wrigley – what a bandbox, huh?

19. Jamie Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:10 pm

    Nicely done, big man. If this series has shown us anything, it’s that we can play with the Cubs. Sure, we lost, but both of those losses resulted in an abnormal bullpen meltdown. Our starters have pitched well, and although the offense hasn’t scored as much as I would like, this team is not done.

20. Jamie Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:12 pm

    Werth! You the man!

21. Jamie Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:12 pm

    Werth = Ashburn

22. Fran Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:13 pm

    Howard has some heart. Even tho he strikes out a lot this guy wants to win. He hustled that single out yesterday. Then today he had that awesome slide into home plate and another homer. He wants to win

23. ball 4 Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:14 pm

    pat gillicks best pickup is werth he has played really well the last 2 years and dobbs is the best pinch hitter

24. Mickey D Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:15 pm

    We’re not Werthy!!!

25. Jamie Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:16 pm

    I agree. Those two are key acquisitions. Feliz has been nice at 3rd when he’s been healthy, and Moyer has been solid as well. The Lidge trade was genius, and letting Rowand go (although I wasn’t happy at the time) turned out to be a blessing in disguise for both Victorino and Werth.

26. Mickey D Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:16 pm

    Re: hating the Cubs. It’s all we hear about out here in Az.

27. ball 4 Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:18 pm

    rowand had a contract year and i dont miss him

28. Jamie Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:19 pm

    Fluke hit. Go for the double play here and concede a run.

29. the truth hurts Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:20 pm

    looks like it’s time for the obligatory late-game meltdown. how soon will it be before we are forced to stomach another ryan madson appearance?

30. ball 4 Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:20 pm

    agreed
    but dont put madson in i reapeat no madson

31. the truth hurts Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:21 pm

    myers is toast

32. Jamie Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:22 pm

    DONT’ PUT FUCKING MADSON IN THE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

33. ball 4 Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:22 pm

    its going to be JC i hope actully i pray

34. Jamie Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:23 pm

    Whew…Romero. Let’s hope he doesn’t have what Durbin and Madson have had lately. He hasn’t looked all that sharp, either.

35. Mickey D Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:23 pm

    I think this club is missing Rowand’s leadership. I’d rather have Victorino in CF though, if nothing else for the speed. Rowand reminded me alot of the kind of players we had in 93.

36. Mickey D Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:24 pm

    Looked like someone raised a left hand in the dugout… lets hope!

37. ball 4 Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:25 pm

    haha myers gave it his all thanks brett

38. Jamie Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:25 pm

    What the hell was Lidge stuffing his face with there? An energy bar, or a Whatchamacalit?

39. ball 4 Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:26 pm

    as long as he gets the save i dont care

40. Jamie Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:26 pm

    Mickey, I agree that Rowand’s biggest plus was his leadership, maturity, and desire to win. We need more of that – you can never have enough.

41. ball 4 Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:27 pm

    yeh but his bat except last year wasnt good

42. the truth hurts Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:28 pm

    I don’t get it. If we had resigned Rowand, then either Burrell, Victorino, or Werth wouldn’t be playing. And looking at the numbers this year, Rowand is by far the worst. This infatuation really should end.

43. ball 4 Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:28 pm

    yeh jc nice change

44. ball 4 Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:29 pm

    i agree completely he was not clutch

45. Joe Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:31 pm

    All right JC!!

46. Jamie Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:31 pm

    Romero looks good…Keeping the ball down and changing speeds. We sure could use getting out of the inning here without any more damage.

47. Jamie Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:31 pm

    I hate this fucking guy. No way he deserved the All-Star Game over Burrell – especially as a starter. fucking piece of shit.

48. ball 4 Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:33 pm

    dont bring in madson please let jc pitch to soto

49. Jamie Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:34 pm

    truth, blow it out your ass with this “infactuation” talk. We are simply saying his attitude and clubhouse presence was nice, as was his Lenny Dykstra-like hustle. However, we are happy with him gone and Vic and Werth playing. It would just be nice if more of our players had Lenny’s (or Rowand’s) attitude, hustle, etc. IN the end, I’m glad they didn’t resign him.

50. ball 4 Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:36 pm

    Vic and werth are capable mlb players rowand is to and i think we got a 2 for 1 deal in not resigning him

51. Jamie Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:36 pm

    CLUTCH! Way to go JC!

52. Fran Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:36 pm

    JC is PUMPED

53. the truth hurts Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:37 pm

    Someone on the Phils deserves to get plunked after Romero’s antics right there

54. Jamie Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:37 pm

    ball 4, agreed.

55. Smith Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:37 pm

    Brad Lidge is due for his first blown save of the year.

56. Fran Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:37 pm

    JC antics????? He’s another guy on this team that wants to win. Thats all emotion right there

57. ball 4 Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:38 pm

    yeh jc get pumped
    smith nah

58. ball 4 Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:38 pm

    he wasnt being reyes with his crap he does

59. the truth hurts Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:39 pm

    “Infactuation,” Jamie? First, learn to spell. Second, calm down. I’m allowed to disagree. I just get tired of hearing fans cry over Rowand leaving when there would have been no where to play him this season, anyway. What’s done is done, move on and stop dwelling on the past.

60. matthew vandusen Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:39 pm

    I bet rollins won’t have a problem with that celebration. The mets don’t do anything close to that.

61. the truth hurts Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:40 pm

    Fran, if a pitcher on the Cubs had done what Romero just did you’d all be hollering for someone to get drilled in the head. Yet, when it’s one of the Phils’ own everything is forgiven. That’s a total hypocracy.

62. ball 4 Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:41 pm

    jc let his emotions go who cares

63. Georgie Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:41 pm

    Wow, JC is really macho.

64. the truth hurts Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:42 pm

    you would care if the shoe was on the other foot

65. Joe Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:44 pm

    Rollins’ third hit of the game, and his second single of the AB!

66. ball 4 Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:44 pm

    i dont care unless its a met like joba chamberlian antics he does when he gets 3 outs thats cool i dont care but when idiots like reyes run around the bases with the 1 finger in the air thats over the top

67. Fred Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:46 pm

    Who cares about Romero’s antics or for that matter Reyes’. If the other team doesn’t like it then they have the opportunity to do something about it with their bats.

68. ataraxite Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:47 pm

    What happened to Pat Burrell?

69. Jamie Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:47 pm

    truth, seems that you are the one that needs to calm down. the rest of us were having a good conversation before you start throwing your “total hypocracy” and “infatuation” (sorry for hitting the wrong button on the keyboard before – I do have a Master’s degree so I am educated) comments around.

70. ball 4 Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:48 pm

    hey lets get runs and rest lidge

71. Jamie Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:48 pm

    Pat was pulled a few innings back for a defensive replacement.

72. Jamie Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:49 pm

    Whew…Bruntlett got lucky there.

73. switch hitter Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:50 pm

    god bruntlett is a waste of a hitter

74. Jamie Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:51 pm

    It would sure be nice for Howard to hit a 3-run blast out of this bandbox.

75. switch hitter Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:54 pm

    alright brad this a game we need come on get the save

76. switch hitter Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 6:58 pm

    brett myers pitched pretty good today getting us into the 8th its ashame he couldnt finish it

77. Joe Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 7:03 pm

    I know that Werth is going to get the Ashburn, but you could make a case for Myers.

    I am so impressed by Meyers doing what it took to turn his season and career around.

78. Joe Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 7:03 pm

    And 32 saves in 32 opportunities isn’t shabby either.

79. Georgie Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 7:04 pm

    Nice game all around.

80. Mickey D Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 7:05 pm

    Hell yeah, we’ll take it!

81. Mickey D Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 7:06 pm

    No walks for Myers – Atta boy!

82. switch hitter Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 7:24 pm

    brett myers to me while he had the blow up with charlie has made strides to be a better pitcher and now i think maybe we should keep him

83. Fran Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 7:47 pm

    Although they havnt played to their potential in the past few games this is a really good baseball team. In my mind we have swept the cubs so far by out playing them 25 of 27 innings

84. JeffR Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 7:55 pm

    What do you know Cholly, Romero can get righthand hitters out.

85. Phillies Suck Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 7:59 pm

    The Phillies are a good team. No question! But they are just not better then the METS!

86. TJ Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 8:58 pm

    Phillies Suck – I think we are dead even to be honest. We showed we both have flaws in our series and theres no doubt that either team would have to play perfect baseball to get through the first round.

87. mikemike Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 10:06 pm

    Only phillies fans should be able to say phillies suck or they stink. Please stop answering the asshole met fans. Can you imagine having to root for a team with the ass holes who are there fans. The other night at the game they acted like real low life trash.That’s what they are so if you truly are a phillies fan, lets talk phillies between us and let the asshole met fans suck wind. TJ Says I think the only way we win is for utley and rollins to get hot its a long dry spell for this offense.

88. J-Man Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 10:32 pm

    Phils and Mets are dead even…If ones better than the other,than why can’t either of us walk away with the divison?

89. J-Man Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 10:33 pm

    BTW the Met bullpen blew another one haha…Aaron Heilman walked in the winning run.

90. mikemike Says:
    August 30th, 2008 at 11:40 pm

    Jamie you suprise me with your language. For a educated person to use that kind of language its suprising.

91. Jamie Says:
    August 31st, 2008 at 11:17 am

    lol…the 12:47 am post was not me, but it sure is funny.
