   I thought this game was national? I thought it was ESPN?

   Blanton needs to show something tonight.

3. Tim Malcolm Says:

   Tomorrow night is ESPN.

   Yep, we save our best pitcher Myers for the big nationally televised games.

5. Fred Says:
   August 2nd, 2008 at 7:09 pm

   Maybe they’re showcasing Myers for one of PG’s big waiver wire deals.

   what channel is it tonight

7. Gavin Says:
   August 2nd, 2008 at 7:46 pm

   I thought Blanton was an innings eater. He seems to throw alot of pitches each inning so far.

8. R.Mac Says:
   August 2nd, 2008 at 7:59 pm

   50 pitchs 22 balls……

   5 Ks ain’t bad so far. Crazy strike zone.

13. Bear Mike Says:

    Blanton is getting a 3 ball count in way too many at bats. And it seems to me that the strike zone is very liberal tonight,

    This guy reminds me of Popeye for some reason?????

    Nice dinger Ryan!!!!!

    GO PHILLIES!!!!!

16. ped Says:

    Yeah Craig we like Brests too.

17. Craig Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 8:13 pm

    Indeed. I’ve only just realised that it was Blanton not Myers pitching.

18. R.Mac Says:

    funny how the mets fans havent had anything to say recently

21. danny Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 8:25 pm

    Just got here and put the game on. Is Blanton dishing tonight or what? His line looks solid.

22. Craig Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 8:27 pm

    Whats with Looper?

    Is he auditioning for a role as the Joker in the next Batman film. Everyimr the MLB game day camera pans to him he;s got a manic grin on his face.

    and Yes Blaton is dealing tonight.

23. danny Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 8:30 pm

    I knew Blanton wasn’t a total scumbag. This is awesome to see.

24. Craig Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 8:32 pm

    He was the A’s opening day starter. He CAN’T be that bad.

25. Geoff Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 8:33 pm

    when he has his stuff he can be very effective. hes doing a very nice job so far tonight.

26. Craig Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 8:34 pm

    Watching games on MLB.COM game day i get my fair few turns of hearing opposition commentators. To be honest with you if i hear one more ‘out of town’ commantry team mention that it took Chris Coste 75 years to reach the majors and he wrote a book about it, I’ll well harm the nearest puppy so help me god.

27. danny Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 8:36 pm

    This is the money inning here, obviously.

28. Craig Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 8:43 pm

    Chaps. It may look as though we traded for an opening day starter.

29. ped Says:

    someone shoot ludwick

30. Craig Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 8:55 pm

    Just wondering but CY Young = Lidge?

31. Geoff Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 8:57 pm

    awesome performance tonight by blanton. this is EXACTLY what we needed form him. 7 innings 1 run, NIIIIICE. PS, im slamming down a case of leinenkugels. awesome wheat beer

32. danny Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 8:57 pm

    If he goes 45/45, and we make the playoffs, uh, yeah!

33. danny Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 9:04 pm

    Comeon Jimmy make it hurt!

34. R.Mac Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 9:06 pm

    damn you bruntlett

35. danny Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 9:06 pm

    3 hits and 2 runs. Hopefully it’ll be enough.

36. Bear Mike Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 9:09 pm

    Kudos to you Joe Blanton! Other than going deep into too many at bats – flat out awesome job!

    Let’s hope 1 run is enough.

37. Craig Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 9:09 pm

    someone one buy Molina frikin hat.

    c’mon JC earn some of that $4m

38. Craig Says:

39. Gavin Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 9:14 pm

    mlb.com is not registering. Whats happeniong?

40. ped Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 9:16 pm

    one out and one on for the cards. Durbin is coming in for Romero

41. Gavin Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 9:17 pm

    This Mather guy makes me nervous. I watched him destroy the Braves this week.

42. Gavin Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 9:19 pm

    Thanks ped. Its up again. Might have frozen with the pitching change.

43. Joe Durbin Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 9:19 pm

    Did you hear the idiot announcers just say Chad played LSU football?
    I am always stunned at how crappy announcers are today.

44. Gavin Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 9:19 pm

    Looks like if you pitch this guy away you should get him out.

45. ped Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 9:20 pm

    chad durbin for president!

46. Geoff Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 9:21 pm

    nice one by chad durbin. outstanding pitching tonight. go get another run for lidge.

47. Gavin Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 9:22 pm

    A little Geico action.

48. Tim Malcolm Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 9:23 pm

    Joe, thanks for giving us Chad.

49. Geoff Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 9:23 pm

    was durbin with the tigers when they went to the world series?

50. PhillyGirlinMichigan Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 9:23 pm

    St. Louis guys also said Durbin was drafted by Minn. I thought it was KC?? Maybe they’re thinkng JD.

51. Gavin Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 9:23 pm

    FYI, The ESPN MLB Gamecast ran this stat at the bottom of the page. Chance of scoring 2+ runs with 0 on and 0 out is 13.33%. I’m not a calculus major but……

52. Geoff Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 9:24 pm

    i think he was

53. Gavin Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 9:26 pm

    Ryan Franklin didnt pitc this good for one batter when he was a PHil.

54. Brian Michael Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 9:26 pm

    Craig…are there any good Phillies bars where you’re at?

55. Joe Durbin Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 9:29 pm

    Chad was with AAA the year Detroit went to the world series. There were a couple of bites by teams as he was having a great year. Detoit kept saying we are bringing you and up. They did, too late to be eligible for the playoffs.
    They gave a championship ring though as he pitched in three games in September.

    Some searches show Chad as having been with Pittsburgh. A lot of wrong info sites out there.

56. Bear Mike Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 9:44 pm

    Nail biter! Damn did we need this win!

    Lights Out Lidge!!!!!

    GO PHILLIES!!!!!!!!

57. Tim Malcolm Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 9:44 pm

    That bullpen is fantastic. Just fantastic.

58. danny Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 9:46 pm

    I’m a little late on your post Gavin, but 13 % looks ok to me.

59. Richie Allen Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 9:46 pm

    Sorry Tim,,,, but are you still favoring Bruntllett staryting over Dobbs?

60. Rob Cowie Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 9:46 pm

    I’m at the grey lodge. I was hoping to celebrate a phils W with dogfish 90, but they are all out. So, I’m going with la fin du monde. We need to get our intinerary together for the bus trip Timothy!

61. Gavin Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 9:47 pm

    Kinda tough to score 2 runs with no one on. Great game by the phightins!

62. Gary B Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 9:48 pm

    Blanton has added some spice to this blog, was it the wrong move? Who knows, but Phils win tonight! Oh yeah!

63. Richie Allen Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 9:49 pm

    Great game…to all Met fans out there…… Lets go Phils … I guess this is why they got Blanton

64. philsphan Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 9:52 pm

    The Phillies gotta re-sign Durbin.

65. Richie Allen Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 9:57 pm

    kudos to Gillick for once for signing Durbin….these close games are not good for my constitution….but,better than a loss.

66. ped Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 9:59 pm

    Wagner blew another one!

67. Richie Allen Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 10:00 pm

    The mets lost?…how terrible..

68. Tim Malcolm Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 10:02 pm

69. ped Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 10:02 pm

    it’s not over yet. Tied at 4 in the 9th. Astros have 2 on with one out

70. Rob Cowie Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 10:03 pm

    I live stumbling distance from it.

71. PhilliesPhaninNY Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 10:08 pm

72. Tim Malcolm Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 10:12 pm

    Next time I’m in town (next weekend) I may have to go to the Lodge, if you’re there.

73. Paul Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 10:12 pm

    Well done Blanton. I knew he could pitch like this.

74. Asphincter Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 10:15 pm

    i would love to see the Mets slip further back tonight

75. ped Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 10:32 pm

    mets lose!

76. Geoff Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 10:35 pm

    AWESOME job by blanton, he was dealing tonight. he did a really nice job. THIS is why they got him and if he can do that every time out then well be in decent shape. but thats the issue. can he do that every time, as you see, he has very good stuff when he locates it properly.

77. Richie Allen Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 10:39 pm

    Geoff nobody does it every time …but hey…enjoy tonight ..this is what its all about when your team comes through

78. Geoff Says:
    August 2nd, 2008 at 10:46 pm

    Great performance by Blanton, but what’s with Hamels? Something about not being able to get his changeup down?
