Gamenight: Dodgers (65-62) At Phillies (68-59)
Posted by Tim Malcolm, Fri, August 22, 2008 06:21 PM
The Phillies couldn’t sweep the Nationals, but no worries, they’ll have a chance to get revenge from the four-game sweep they were handed by the Dodgers. The Blue is in for a four at Citizens Bank Park, which means a whole lot of Manny. Greg Maddux and Kyle Kendrick are the starters.
Greg? From San Diego?: Greg Maddux’s last start was against the Phillies, but as a member of the San Diego Padres. In that start he went seven innings and gave up just one run, but lost.
Ken-Not-Do: Kyle Kendrick has given up 13 runs in his last 7 innings (with one of those against the Dodgers). He’s been told to attack the plate more. Hope that works.
Not Great …: The Dodgers are 7-9 since acquiring Manny Ramirez … against everyone who is not the Phillies.
A Little Different: Finally Charlie Manuel breaks up Chase Utley and Ryan Howard. Pat Burrell is hitting third tonight.
Phillies: Kyle Kendrick (10-7) 5.01 ERA
Dodgers: Greg Maddux (6-9) 3.99 ERA
Gametime: 7:05 p.m. EST
Weather: 80, partly sunny
Lineup: Rollins/Utley/Burrell/Howard/Victorino/Dobbs/Jenkins/Coste/Kendrick

Your gamenight beer: It’s Friday night. This offense has been bad. Time to just break it open and forget everythingelese. Tonight, go with Olde English 800. Just do it. Pour it wide and take it in. Eat … whatever, French fries, potato skins, garbage plates. Who cares.
Go Phillies!

If he would just flip J-Hole and Vic we’d be set!
August 22nd, 2008 at 6:46 pm
I agree with Danny Charlie needs to bitchslap every Phillies player and I do mean every phillies player
August 22nd, 2008 at 6:48 pm
Why isn’t Pedro Feliz starting?
August 22nd, 2008 at 7:00 pm
Probably cause Maddux would certainly stick him with an 0-fer.
August 22nd, 2008 at 7:15 pm
i accepted charlie not changing the lineup around a few weeks ago, but now it’s just completely unacceptable. honestly, i mean come on now. it can only help this offense out – it certainly won’t hurt.
August 22nd, 2008 at 7:16 pm
FIRST PITCH SWINGIN BABY!!!!!!!!!! J ROLLLL BABYYY ON FIRE!!
August 22nd, 2008 at 7:16 pm
Can’t believe MLB Extra Innings isn’t carrying the game. Came home early for nuthin.
August 22nd, 2008 at 7:16 pm
what an idiot. later.
August 22nd, 2008 at 7:20 pm
If I gambled, I could make a lot of money off the Phillies
August 22nd, 2008 at 7:24 pm
What’d he do?
August 22nd, 2008 at 7:25 pm
j-rolls gotta go. im about to start accusing him of intentionally tanking it.
August 22nd, 2008 at 7:29 pm
build around utley burrell shane and try again next year
August 22nd, 2008 at 7:31 pm
before people get all man..this is how back and forth and frustrating these guys are.
August 22nd, 2008 at 7:31 pm
mad*
August 22nd, 2008 at 7:36 pm
Grrr, it’s killin me that this isn’t on! Friggin Doyers!
August 22nd, 2008 at 7:41 pm
So, you’re saying it’s starting to look like another “maybe next year” for the Phils? What a shame, it seemed like we had all the tools to make it happen.
August 22nd, 2008 at 7:41 pm
1-0 Mets after 1……….Phillies better find a way to get thru the Dodgers this weekend before the Amazins invade Philly.It might be ugly. NO I’m not saying the Amazins will win the NL East but keep this up,and it’ll be time to complain about McNabb and Labor Day is wright around the corner.
August 22nd, 2008 at 7:43 pm
im pretty sure only like one or two people actually care about the eagles. im not one of them
August 22nd, 2008 at 7:47 pm
you know what? what they need to do is waive ryan howard and jimmy rollins and trade them for a bunch of players to be named later. mail it in, rebuild, come back stronger. yeah. and then demand immediate success.
August 22nd, 2008 at 7:47 pm
This fall Burrell will be 32, Utley will be 30, Rollins will be 30, Howard will be 29 and Victorino will be 28. Isn’t it getting a little late to ‘build’ around these guys? When I think of building around guys, I’m thinking early to mid 20s not players hitting 30 or older.
August 22nd, 2008 at 7:47 pm
bring up mike cervenak and jason donald to replace them. yeah.
August 22nd, 2008 at 7:53 pm
well we could blow it ALL up….but victorino is cheap and still in his arb years.
utley makes 11mm next year and 15mm every year after that for the rest of his contract. jimmy rollins is an asshole who is signed cheaply for 3 more years and is intentionally tanking balls and at bats. pat burrell can play first base even though hes aging a bit. you need a professional, serious veteran on the team. howard is an asshole who is getting overpaid in his arb years and is so bad in the field that even though ive never seen pat play first ill bet hes better.
you know what? it may be a flip flop but those guys ARE getting old. new GM coming in. maybe wanna rebuild a little? other than jamie the pitching is all reasonably young in the rotation and the talented end of the bullpen. lidge is here to stay. durbin and romero are over 30 but are useful and signable. madson is going to be a free agent i think.
i think they can build around hamels, victorino, burrell, and the stars of the bullpen and go from there perhaps?….
August 22nd, 2008 at 7:54 pm
oh, and werth is 28/9 but hes not going to cost much tokeep here..he can stay
August 22nd, 2008 at 7:56 pm
1 or 2 people care about the Eagles? Wha?
August 22nd, 2008 at 7:58 pm
on here….even if there appear to be more. they are holograms because the eagles dont actually exist. its not real man….
August 22nd, 2008 at 7:58 pm
3-0 mets damn these mets dont go away dont they phillies?
August 22nd, 2008 at 7:58 pm
can you tell i hate the nfl?
August 22nd, 2008 at 7:58 pm
Remember how the Marlins looked against Moyer? That’s how we look against Maddux.
August 22nd, 2008 at 8:00 pm
Man, I love the NFL. Just love it. Love the Eagles.
I’d rank my sports allegiance as:
1. Eagles
2. Sixers
3. Phillies
August 22nd, 2008 at 8:00 pm
look at that patient, crafty at bat. legend vs veteran. nice at bat pat
August 22nd, 2008 at 8:01 pm
What’s wrong with sitting our big guns for a game or two? What’s the worse that could happen? We lose a game or two? We don’t score any runs? Strikeout too much? Sounds like the same thing that’s happens to our ’stars’ now.
August 22nd, 2008 at 8:01 pm
Pat the Bat! A BASERUNNER!
August 22nd, 2008 at 8:03 pm
LOL Hitters count Ryan!
August 22nd, 2008 at 8:03 pm
good bye babyy
August 22nd, 2008 at 8:05 pm
As much as I resent Ryan Howard, the opposite field homeruns are so cool.
August 22nd, 2008 at 8:05 pm
teams:
1…flyers
2…phillies
that never changes or waivers…
hate the nfl, apathetic/neutral towards nba (BUT love the new sixers GM, may start paying a little more attention to support them and reward them for their postive new look.)
sports for me
nhl
mlb
college fb
college baseball
college basketball
occasional premier league soccer/ europmean champions league
the rest i tune out for the most part
BUT its almost impossible to tune out the NFL because if you dont watch it people look at you like youre some kind of terrorist or space alien
also…ryan howard CRUSHED taht. damn.
August 22nd, 2008 at 8:07 pm
as much as im not sure baout what to do with howard here…when hes hitting the ball the opposite way consistently, he really is the most dangerous hitter in baseball
August 22nd, 2008 at 8:11 pm
i dont like greg dobbs at all, but i have to admit that was a realy nice bunt
August 22nd, 2008 at 8:11 pm
Howard is never the most dangerous hitter is baseball. I’ll take Manny any day of the week.
August 22nd, 2008 at 8:12 pm
well i thouhgt his mvp year when he his tons of opposite field bombs that he was really dangerous
August 22nd, 2008 at 8:13 pm
breaking up howard and utley is something they shouldve done months ago
August 22nd, 2008 at 8:14 pm
all you have to do is sac fly here and you pad the lead, come on coste…
August 22nd, 2008 at 8:15 pm
there you go, nice.
August 22nd, 2008 at 8:16 pm
WHAT AN AWESOME HIT BY WERTH!
August 22nd, 2008 at 8:19 pm
EAGLES 10-0
August 22nd, 2008 at 8:19 pm
I’m listening to the Eagles- did J-Hole get booed there?
August 22nd, 2008 at 8:22 pm
What happened to Geoff Jenkins?
August 22nd, 2008 at 8:23 pm
Utley’s in a real rut. Time to have a seat for a few games.
August 22nd, 2008 at 8:25 pm
I’ll say it again, Utley looks physically ill , I wonder if he’s a vegetarian? They always look anemic and tired.
August 22nd, 2008 at 8:26 pm
It’s from the speeders.
August 22nd, 2008 at 8:27 pm
New England is booing… Hmm. Did you guys know they boo there too?
August 22nd, 2008 at 8:50 pm
wooooooooo yeah, Coste Guard!
August 22nd, 2008 at 8:52 pm
We will probably score like 18 runs tonight. This is what bad teams do: they average 3-4 runs per game and then occasionally score a whole crapload in one game. eg – see what the Nationals did today against the Cubs.
August 22nd, 2008 at 8:55 pm
Demps 102 yd TD return 17-3 Eagles…
THEN
DeSean 75 yard punt return 24-3 Eagles..
And a 3 run home run by Coste??!?!?!?
This Olde English works good.
August 22nd, 2008 at 8:57 pm
And the Astros score 8 runs off Santana. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
August 22nd, 2008 at 9:11 pm
Yay! Woo! Go Phils!
And Eagles. Sure.
But go Phils!
August 22nd, 2008 at 9:20 pm
All the position players have hits except Rollins.
August 22nd, 2008 at 9:22 pm
Rollins average must’ve dropped ten points in the past week alone
August 22nd, 2008 at 9:24 pm
Utley’s a hard core liberal, so he might be vegan too.
August 22nd, 2008 at 9:25 pm
do madson and durbin have to appear in every game? 8-1, anyone wanna bet we see romero too?
August 22nd, 2008 at 9:26 pm
But it hasn’t dropped as many points as his status with fans!
Ziiiiing!
Heh. Heh. Oh.
August 22nd, 2008 at 9:31 pm
His average since Best Damn Gate is less than .100. Coincidence?
August 22nd, 2008 at 9:31 pm
Santana is just a bad-ass. I’m a fan.
August 22nd, 2008 at 9:32 pm
TIM: LOFL!
August 22nd, 2008 at 9:37 pm
that was a nice win, ive seen them smash maddux before. but you know what they need to do? they need to trade jimmy rollins….
decent outing by kendrick, go one more inning, but at least his lowering the ERA
August 22nd, 2008 at 9:37 pm
Coste for the Ashburn?
August 22nd, 2008 at 9:37 pm
also, only the phillies will have retro night and not wear retro uniforms.
August 22nd, 2008 at 9:42 pm
imall about utley rescuing animals though. thats a legitimate and quality charitable act. guess his wife needed something to do.
August 22nd, 2008 at 9:42 pm
Right on! We needed that one!
August 22nd, 2008 at 9:46 pm
oh, and they also need to trade jimmy rollins
August 22nd, 2008 at 9:47 pm
Would’ve liked the maroon pinstripes tonight. Ashburn goes to Coste (though Brian did it), but many contributed to this one.
August 22nd, 2008 at 9:47 pm
On second thought, Ashburn should go to DeSean Jackson. Ha.
August 22nd, 2008 at 10:21 pm
Yes Tim, I agree with that!
August 22nd, 2008 at 11:03 pm
Was J-Roll limpin again? Maybe he misses his mommy in Oaktown, which by the way, is as nice as Darby x 20.
August 23rd, 2008 at 12:10 am
Tim: Beer recommendation…Stoudt’s Fat Dog Oatmeal Stoudt
August 23rd, 2008 at 1:40 am
Lol! I drank Old E for the first time in ages tonight only to find that it was the beer of the day! Classic!
August 23rd, 2008 at 3:58 am
Nice to finally see the Phils score some runs their long over due we just need em to keep on coming…Charlie seriouslly needs to pull J-Roll from the lead off spot because he’s just flat out horrible anymore and isn’t getting on base it’s useless to have him lead off…Vic would be better leading off.
