   I don’t see us getting a sweep. We’ll take 2 out of 3 is my guess, anything less than that and you might as well shut the season down.

   Between living in NYC and working long hours, I rarely get to see games live or on TV, but listening over internet radio and reading blogs like this give a very good idea of how this team looks. Over the past week, between the west coast swing and other factors getting in the way, I have just been looking at box scores and you can see just in the numbers that this team needs a monster kick in the ass or a fire lit under them. Something, or anything, needs to happen. A sweep combined with the Met’s blowing at least two of three to the Braves (Wagner done indefinatly) may be the thing. Either that or the good guys lose two of three and they limp to the finish line.

   csn totally fucked that one up.

   August 19th, 2008 at 7:13 pm

   Does Jimmy automatically swing 1-1? In that count he’s like a slugger 3-0…

5. Georgie Says:
   August 19th, 2008 at 7:14 pm

   They did that on purpose so we couldn’t hear the boos.

6. Chris C. Says:
   August 19th, 2008 at 7:16 pm

   I missed the first inning, what happened with the cheers/boos?

7. Mike T. Says:
   August 19th, 2008 at 7:17 pm

   not sure chris, comcast totally showed an example of how they run our lives by playing some meaningless follow up interview of jimmy rollins in order to block out the boos.

8. jeff Says:
   August 19th, 2008 at 7:18 pm

   people talk about how china is too fucked up to have olympics. the phillies and comcast censor jimmy getting booed?

9. NJ Says:
   August 19th, 2008 at 7:21 pm

   In fairness Jimmy should get booed at the moment, you start disrespecting the game and you have to earn the respect of the fans back.

10. MIKE FLO Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 7:21 pm

    wait jeff are you really comparing the issues in china to the phillies broadcast? wow intelligence

11. Geoff Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 7:22 pm

    dude, america has been doing shit like that for 100 years. william randolp hearst invented that type of state/centrally-censored media pradigm.

    im not suprised AT ALL that comcast did that. they at least admitted that he got booed really bad. the phillies are also PIPING in fake cheers because jimmys boos got silenced fast.

12. Geoff Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 7:23 pm

    blanton better tighten up here. hed better cruise the rest of the way. you cant keep gravitating back to average. his era was at 4 even until, boom, gotta get that back up there…

13. Rob Cowie Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 7:24 pm

    WCW did the fake cheers during the 1990s on their wrestling broadcasts.

    Yeah, I’m a dork like that to know such things.

14. NJ Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 7:25 pm

    The Phils do too much to apease Rollins and not enough shut and play ball.

15. Geoff Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 7:25 pm

    i remember that actually. it was when they were losing hte monday night wars at the end. in the beginning, they actually had better programming from about 1995-1997

16. Geoff Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 7:27 pm

    nice job shane. very nice hit.

17. Geoff Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 7:28 pm

    dobbs: make fucking contact and the game is tied. idiot.

18. jeff Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 7:28 pm

    tom mccarthy keep it down while vic gets a hit

19. Geoff Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 7:31 pm

    allright, good. gob job. thats what a professional baseball player should do. work the count, make contact and get the run in, regardless of how its done.

20. Geoff Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 7:31 pm

    good job*

21. Mickey D Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 7:33 pm

    We better not become the Nats slumpbuster!

22. Mickey D Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 7:35 pm

    If I land in Philly at 5:30, you guys think I can make it to a 7PM game? I know I’m cuttin it close, but…

23. Jamie Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 7:47 pm

    you prob could. the airport is pretty close to the stadium

24. CT Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 7:51 pm

    so i take it campaign cheer has been a bust so far?

25. Mickey D Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 7:54 pm

    Thanks Jamie.

26. Geoff Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 7:56 pm

    come on joe. this is the nationals.

27. CT Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 7:57 pm

    i’m this close to turning off the game

28. NEPA Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:12 pm

    Jesus christ. This team is fuckin done.

29. Geoff Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:14 pm

    have they become unwatchably bad? theyre awfully close to doing that. very close.

30. Geoff Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:15 pm

    if they were farther back theyd alreayd be unwatchable.

31. That Guy Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:16 pm

    Blanton looks really sharp tonight

32. Geoff Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:16 pm

    up, get him out of here. this fucking guy. why do you have to be SO average. after 2 good starts, NO MATTER WHAT, he HAS to have 2 bad starts. it dosnt matter who its against either way, he HAS to balance it out. unbelievable. stop throwing shit over the heart of the plate!

33. NJ Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:17 pm

    the offense looks sharp…

34. Geoff Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:17 pm

    also, if kendrick has one more bad start hes down in AAA too. im sick of it. were trying to win games here. the clock is running….

35. Jamie Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:18 pm

    the nats offense looks better than ours. at least they put people on and get them in

36. Phil Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:20 pm

    This team is bad. I’m not even going to read anyone else’s comments because it’s not worth it.

37. NEPA Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:20 pm

    There we go Vic.

38. Geoff Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:20 pm

    if they canot get him in here. im turning this team off for a week.

39. Phil Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:21 pm

    Oh yeah, I forgot…we have one good player. Shane Victorino.

40. Geoff Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:21 pm

    thank you. its about fucking time. it took an ERROR to get him in.

41. Phil Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:22 pm

    YAY! They made something happen. Even if he woulda caught it I think Shane woulda scored. He’s so fast and he plows over catchers.

42. NEPA Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:22 pm

    I guess even we can score when the other team is hand delivering you runs.

43. Stan Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:23 pm

    Wow he is fast!!! My boy is a mets fan and I am really starting to hate even watching this. The nats can not even catch a pop up and we are going to lose to them.

44. NC Jason Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:23 pm

    Phil – lets throw Burrell and Lidge in that mix .. but other then that they are all shit

45. Stan Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:24 pm

    Get him out of the on deck box

46. Stan Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:25 pm

    Told you

47. NEPA Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:25 pm

    If Taguchi gets a hit here I’ll shit my pants.

48. Jamie Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:25 pm

    hey look everyone – they are looking like a real professional baseball team – almost

49. Phil Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:25 pm

    I’m not considering Lidge…he’s not a position player. Burrell has been slumping hard too other than this weekend. If you include Werth we have a consistent outfield. On paper we have the best infield in the NL, but it’s not going well this year. Well, the past 2 months.

50. Stan Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:26 pm

    I don’t know which bum is worse?

51. That Guy Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:26 pm

    BOOS WERE DEFINETLY CENSORED. I have never seen a team that is more insulated from reality. The whole thing was probably Wheeler’s idea. Everything they do is a remedial, public relations NIGHTMARE

52. Geoff Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:26 pm

    as far as im concerned anybody but burrell victorino and howard can go in terms of offensive players. rollins can go. i told myself id never say utleys tradeable, but if he keeps this up? fuck him too, get out….

53. Phil Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:26 pm

    Myers needs to go 8 innings tomorrow and save the bullpen. I have faith he’ll do it.

54. Phil Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:27 pm

    Geoff…are you forgetting Utley?

55. Jamie Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:27 pm

    here comes a jenkins strikeout

56. Phil Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:27 pm

    YAY Jenkins! I’m okay with a sac fly.

57. Pat Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:27 pm

    Time to test Tim’s theory.

58. NC Jason Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:27 pm

    It is hard to believe that Vic’s BA is the highest of the regulars this late in the season… (who would have saw that coming)

59. Geoff Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:28 pm

    at least jenkins drove in a run. at least he still actually can do that onceevery 30 times up there.

60. Phil Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:28 pm

    Victorino has been incredible this year aside from April. I’m so glad they didn’t trade him. He’s going to be a premiere player next year. .300 avg 20 homers 40 stolen bases .375 OBP .500 slugging.

    Rollins is garbage.

61. Geoff Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:29 pm

    OH SHIT!!!!!!!!!!! gidp for jimmy. BUM

62. Phil Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:29 pm

    When they get rid of Rollins next year Victorino can lead off. I think he can learn plate discipline. He’s gotten better lately. If Victorino can learn to take pitchers he can be a really good lead off man.

63. Geoff Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:30 pm

    yeah i was SHOCKED at how victorino has turned his carreer around in the past few months. just totally awesome. his low point was the houston series on the road. since charlie called him out in the paper the one day hes been on point.

64. CT Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:30 pm

    did rollins just gidp on purpose?

65. Stan Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:30 pm

    bbbboooooooooooooooooooooooooo

66. Geoff Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:30 pm

    when hes on target he blasts line drives down the line.

67. NC Jason Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:31 pm

    Phil I think the way he is playing he has made his case. Ever since Charlie ripped him in DC in mid May the guy has played some inspired baseball. I am also glad they chose to keep him (good move by Pat)

68. Mickey D Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:32 pm

    Yo Charlie, how about benching Jimmy not because he’s not hustlin’ or late… just bench him for suckin and bringing the team down.

69. Geoff Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:32 pm

    yeah it sure looked like it was intentional. i think hes telling us he doesnt want to come back next year. i am now willing to guarantee. with 100 PERCENT CERTAINTY, that he wont be here. that this will get worse. hell get traded at the winter meetings. if im wrong? oh well, im wrong, no big deal…

70. Mickey D Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:33 pm

    If nothing else, Victorino plays hard.

71. NC Jason Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:33 pm

    Rollins = Philly’ Manny

72. Geoff Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:33 pm

    jimmy slow to react to a double play ball. no outs, durbins in trouble now too..thank jimmy. chad durbin should turn around and flip him off.

73. Stan Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:33 pm

    This is unreal

74. Phil Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:34 pm

    I hope you’re right, I want him off this team. I’d even get rid of Howard and sign Teixera.

75. Phil Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:35 pm

    Good play by Durbin.

76. NC Jason Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:35 pm

    Nice Play Durbin

77. NEPA Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:37 pm

    This is huge here. Gotta get outta this inning scoreless.

78. Mickey D Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:37 pm

    He reminds me of Rolen a few years ago. I thought we had a real chance and that Rolen not only burned the club, but Bowa too. Say what you will, but Bowa IMO, is what I look for in a coach.

79. Rob Cowie Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:38 pm

    It’s bad when we can’t even take it to a Triple A team that is paraded as a major league one. I’m off to work. Enjoy the game everyone. I’l check back with you’s in the morning. This site is firewalled from my computer at work so all I really can do is read Yahoo news.

80. Phil Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:39 pm

    Anyone else really like Victorino in the 6 hole right now? He’s good for production in the bottom of the line up.

81. NC Jason Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:42 pm

    I said the same thing to my buddy the other day, but where do you bat Feliz when he is back? 7?

82. Phil Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:44 pm

    Yeah, Feliz 7 that’s more production coming back.

83. NC Jason Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:48 pm

    My hope for the off-season is that we trade Rollins but not to the West coast where he wants to be but to a team like the Bluejays that have no chance at winning and where we would be miserable.

    Does Rollins have a no trade clause?

84. NC Jason Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:49 pm

    he not we*

85. Phil Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:50 pm

    It’s so sad that the Nats offense looks better than ours tonight. And what the fuck is up with Belliard?

86. TJ Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:52 pm

    I feel a comeback win, Burrell walk, Vitorino singlr, Dobbs double.

87. NC Jason Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:53 pm

    On the radio LA is siding with the fans. He is stating that we have had 41 sellouts this year and that the fans care, regarding them booing, and how we as fans are just starving for playoff baseball. And how awsome the fans were in September last year. His comment was that winning seaon do not mean anything – it is playoffs! His last comment was if you are winning you will not be booed.

88. TJ Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:54 pm

    Atleast Belliard cant steal a bag but he is slapping the ball tonight.

89. pissed of says...... Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:55 pm

    then jroll will kill the rally boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

90. fred Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:55 pm

    mlb.com is reporting wagners season could be over. Sorry if that’s already been mentioned on here.

91. Phil Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:56 pm

    YAY FUCK WAGNER!

92. TJ Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:56 pm

    If Jimmy Rollins homers to tie it up or something big, boo or cheer?

93. Geoff Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:57 pm

    why would they ever trade rolen? he bitched his way out of here, and j-roll saw it and knows he can do it too.

94. Mickey D Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:57 pm

    Send him to the A’s, he said that’s his team. Will Billy Beane fall for it though?

95. Phil Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:57 pm

    MAn, that was a really good play.

96. TJ Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:57 pm

    Noo! We need Wagner back to blow some more games for them, no one else in that pen is more reliable for that except maybe Heilman.

97. NC Jason Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:57 pm

    If nothing else, I will take pleasure in the misery of others

98. TJ Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:57 pm

    Too expensive for the A’s.

99. Phil Says:
    August 19th, 2008 at 8:58 pm

    The A’s have a lot of prospects they can give up and Rollins is signed cheap. He’d play really well in his home town probably. They need a player like Rollins to come be the back bone of the team.

100. Geoff Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 8:58 pm

     beane wont take him, he knows better. yes, error, shane to third. awesome. shane has become dangerous. awesome!

101. NEPA Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 8:59 pm

     Haha, what a dumb play. They’re handing us this game and we better take it.

102. Geoff Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 8:59 pm

     whaaat? get him charlie

103. NC Jason Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 8:59 pm

     FUCK JOE WEST

104. Phil Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 8:59 pm

     WTF IS THAT!!!

105. NEPA Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 8:59 pm

     what the hell?

106. NC Jason Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:00 pm

     Interference on Dobbs

107. Geoff Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:00 pm

     we got hosed. dobbs GIDP.

108. Phil Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:00 pm

     Fuck that ump.

109. NC Jason Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:00 pm

     No the Ump interfered not Dobbs

110. Phil Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:00 pm

     Woulda been 4-4 if that ump wasn’t a douche bag. Coste will GIDP.

111. Geoff Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:00 pm

     nice. shane is FAST man that was right in front of him.

112. NEPA Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:01 pm

     Screw that ump. Wow, Vic can really fly.

113. NC Jason Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:01 pm

     West could not get his fat ass out of the way – Single scored should be tied!

114. pissed of says...... Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:01 pm

     west hates the phils since dennis cook

115. Phil Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:01 pm

     The bottom end of the line up looks really good tonight.

116. NC Jason Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:01 pm

     How silly is Vic making Rollins look right now?

117. Phil Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:01 pm

     In a play like that they should have to compromise and give him 2nd.

118. Geoff Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:02 pm

     who do we have one the bench? bruntlett, ruiz, taguchi, cervenak?

     shit…pinch hit hamels for coste and then plug ruiz in after the innings over for coste.

119. fred Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:02 pm

     I predict a big hit for coste. Saying that, he’ll probably smite me and GIDP. Please, please don’t.

120. Geoff Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:03 pm

     did anyone see that jealous look jimmy flashed shane right there when they cut to him?

121. Phil Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:03 pm

     Shane Victorino is slowly becoming my favorite player.

122. Phil Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:04 pm

     They better shell, Shell haha

123. NC Jason Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:04 pm

     Big at bat here….

124. NEPA Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:04 pm

     If they don;t get that run in from 3rd I might have to turn this off. GIDP here and I won’t watch the rest of this series.

125. TJ Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:04 pm

     He’s the only positional player that plays with intensity.

126. Phil Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:05 pm

     The fans are getting into it.

127. Phil Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:05 pm

     YEAH!!! Situational baseball is being played tonight.

128. Geoff Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:05 pm

     ok, ill take a sac fly. niiice.

129. NC Jason Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:06 pm

     YES!!!!!!!!!

130. NEPA Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:06 pm

     Haha, I love Vic. Almost took out the ump for the shitcall he just made.

131. Geoff Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:06 pm

     one quick thing here. taguchi DFA????

132. NC Jason Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:07 pm

     Three runs on three sac flies….

     West could not get out of Shane’s way as he slid – West is a fat mess

133. fred Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:07 pm

     Taguchi suuuuuuuucks

     Jimmy Rollins, big hit. If he gets the at bat then I think he’ll come through, he has to for his well being of a Phillie.

137. Phil Says:

     The Muts are losing too. It’s probably why they don’t have trolls on here right now.

138. TJ Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:10 pm

     The Braves couldnt expand their lead with men on the corners with one out.

     1,2,3 up in the order. If they don’t score now against a mediocre bullpen, they never will.

141. TJ Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:14 pm

     Here comes the best part of our lineup, rolls eyes.

     Rollins 2 for his last 26

145. Phil Says:

     Yeah, well Rollins is no Joe Morgan, Wheels.

146. Phil Says:

     You suck Jimmy. Stop swinging for the fences. Get on base fucker.

     He never has learned to hit the ball on the ground and to hit line drives.

     0-4 tonight and the FANS are the problem…..

153. TJ Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:18 pm

     If he keeps that ball lower with a level swing then he’s on base right now, good at bat aside from the end result.

     Piece up on Phillie.com about Rollins booing. One of his comments is that Utley has really never been booed – I wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that he is a gamer and hustles, is never late, nor has ever been benched….

164. Mickey D Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:24 pm

     Can Werthy play SS?

165. pissed off says...... Says:

     ROLLINS HUSTLES SO MUCH DOWN THE LINE I BET BURRELL COULD OUT RUN HIM

166. fred Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:26 pm

     Great minds thing alike TJ. Utley looks really bad atm…

167. NEPA Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:26 pm

     NC Jason, if its the same interview I saw then he was just making a joke basically. He was saying how him, Burrell, Howard etc. have gotten their fair share of boos, then he laughed and said Utley hasn’t quite been touched yet and its because he continues to put up great numbers.

168. lilgartrn Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:27 pm

     Gotta say, that ball Rollins just hit should have been a homer – think it was the wind – just a touch off of what Werth hit….. He’s trying – I’d rather have them go down trying…

169. NC Jason Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:29 pm

     Ok thanks for the clarification. But even now Utley still gets a pass because he busts his ass all the time and does not do the things that Rollins has… Thanks though

170. Mickey D Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:31 pm

     Utley will be a HOF’r, Rollins looks like he’s happy winning the MVP and will just coste through the next coupla years with his trophy.

171. NEPA Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:32 pm

     Yea, agreed. Utley’s struggling but he plays the game the way it should be played, so people respect that and don’t boo him.

172. NC Jason Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:34 pm

     Something that Jimmy does not understand – above all in Philly hustle!

     Side note – bases loaded, 1 out for the Mets – Delgado batting.

179. Jamie Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:37 pm

     Braves are in some trouble in the bottom of the 8th. Bases loaded, one out.

180. NC Jason Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:37 pm

     Werth set a craeer best with his 17th HR. And this win is an answer to Tim’s post on Monday – hitting from the bottom of the order and good things happen

181. NC Jason Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:38 pm

     The Mets would be in a worse position if they did take the lead because their bullpen can not hold it – they had better win ever game in the btm of the 9th

182. fred Says:
     August 19th, 2008 at 9:40 pm

     Wow, the braves really suck. We’re gonna have to sweep the Nats to keep pace.

187. Mark Says:
     August 20th, 2008 at 3:02 am

     Good comeback. Werth deserves to play everyday in RF. The offense is still lethargic. Blanton had a shaky outing but kept us in the game for 5 innings. The bullpen took care of the rest. Anything less than a sweep is a problem. And we better at least split with LA.

188. Geoff Says:
     August 20th, 2008 at 8:55 am

     They also need to sweep the mets. A split against them is disgraceful.

     Anyone watch the post game last night? Micth Williams was making some great points about Rollins’ comments and it was a pretty simple theory that Rollins doesnt quite get if he called us frontrunners. He like many pointed out that when we boo its because we know you can do better and we are a “What have you done for us lately?” type of fan base. The MVP award from last doesnt mean anything now aside from the fact that you raised your own standards and when you dont live up to the standards you have made for yourself then we tend to get on you about it. Manuel also said that Jenkins is going to start playing more because he thinks that he will get hot at some point, c’mon Manuel play Werth, he has been nothing short of spectacular this year. Feliz returns tonight, that should be good to see with Vic anchoring the bottom of the lineup, if Werth bats 2nd. Bullpen proved that they could hold up in a pressure situation, even if it was against the Nats. Overall it was a good game to watch. Kind of off topic, but do you think that our starters pitch better in closer games under pressure in the first six, because half our runs have come late when the bullpen enters the game, just throwing it out there.
