Gameday: Phillies (87-68) At Marlins (81-73)
Posted by Tim Malcolm, Sun, September 21, 2008 03:15 PM
Headline: With series on line and playoff possibilities brimming, it’s Moyer’s turn
The Major Players: Jamie Moyer, Scott Eyre, Ryan Howard, Jimmy Rollins, Chris Volstad, Mike Jacobs, Cody Ross
The Venue: Dolpin Stadium, Miami, Fla.
The Number: 0.5 games ahead NL East
In this topsy-turvy NL East race, the Phillies gained the upper hand Saturday night with a grind-out win over the Marlins. The Mets dropped one to the Braves, pushing the Phils back ahead. For the moment. As of this writing the Mets are beating the Braves, 4-2, behind Mike Pelfrey. Meanwhile in the Wild Card race, the Brewers are defeating the Reds, 6-1.
The Jake: Despite being a lefty, Mike Jacobs has encountered success against Jamie Moyer. He is hitting .273 with two home runs in 2008 against Moyer.
Regular At The Fishing Hole: But Moyer has performed well against Florida this season. He now has pitched 26 innings against the Fish, posting a 3.12 ERA and earning a decision each time out (3-1).
Plumbers? No. Men: The Frontrunner Bros. — Ryan Howard and Jimmy Rollins — are hitting .338 (47-for-139) with 11 HR, 36 RBI and 32 R in September.
Put The Fish Back: Say goodbye to the Marlins. The Phillies are currently 7-10 against their Floridian rivals in 2008.
Phillies: Jamie Moyer (14-7) 3.86 ERA
Marlins: Chris Volstad (5-3) 3.07 ERA
Gametime: 4:10 p.m. EST
Weather: 85, isolated storms
Lineup: Rollins/Utley/Werth/Howard/Burrell/Victorino/Dobbs/Ruiz/Moyer

MLB Gameday
Your gameday beer: We’re goin’ to the farmhouse. This is V-Saison from the Victory Brewing Co., a Pennsylvania favorite. I’m huge on farmhouse beers — brews that are bitter like pales, but have a real homegrown taste, usually a bit aged. This one is filled with hops. And you know how much I love my hops. Anyway, Moyer is a bit aged, so this makes sense to me. Grab a farmhouse, sit down with a roast beef sandwich, pop on the Phils and cheer your butt off.
Go Phillies!

Ever wondered what baseball and slots had in common?
September 21st, 2008 at 3:24 pm
if we get this win, we go into the final week in first playing the braves and nats. I like are chances.
September 21st, 2008 at 4:13 pm
CMON PAT!
September 21st, 2008 at 4:21 pm
Mets pen imploding again.

UTLEY’S BACK!!!
September 21st, 2008 at 4:46 pm
Utley!
September 21st, 2008 at 4:47 pm
It seems the Muts nor the Braves want to win….
September 21st, 2008 at 4:50 pm
Mets lose!!
September 21st, 2008 at 4:50 pm
Mets lose!
September 21st, 2008 at 4:51 pm
MUTS LOOSE!
September 21st, 2008 at 4:52 pm
I think the Muts might rehire Randolph only so they can fire him again
September 21st, 2008 at 5:11 pm
Very nice. That’s why he’s a pro.
September 21st, 2008 at 5:11 pm
And there goes Cody Ross’ error-free season…
September 21st, 2008 at 5:13 pm
Gotta make them pay for that error.
September 21st, 2008 at 5:13 pm
And now they hit Utley!
September 21st, 2008 at 5:14 pm
Werth has to be patient this AB…maybe we’ll get the walk
September 21st, 2008 at 5:14 pm
or not
September 21st, 2008 at 5:15 pm
damn, that couldve knocked voltron out of the game
September 21st, 2008 at 5:21 pm
“this game was made for moyer”
definitely looks like it
September 21st, 2008 at 5:25 pm
If Burell keeps swinging like this, I think Stairs should come into the game the next AB
September 21st, 2008 at 5:26 pm
Moyer’s on fire. Let’s hope he can keep it up.
September 21st, 2008 at 5:46 pm
This is vintage Moyer today! I want him back next season!
September 21st, 2008 at 6:02 pm
dammit Pat, run for it you bastard!
September 21st, 2008 at 6:08 pm
How much longer does Moyer go?
September 21st, 2008 at 6:28 pm
not good not good not good…
September 21st, 2008 at 6:29 pm
Is Ryan unavailable?
September 21st, 2008 at 6:31 pm
Why is Romero STILL IN THERE?
September 21st, 2008 at 6:33 pm
i have a really bad feeling about this
September 21st, 2008 at 6:33 pm
Oh no. We can’t lose Dobbs.
September 21st, 2008 at 6:34 pm
we need some insurance runs here
September 21st, 2008 at 6:37 pm
What happened with Dobbs? I am following on my computer.
September 21st, 2008 at 6:38 pm
dove for a ball hit hard up the third baseline. looks like he hurt his ankle or knee but i’m not sure.
September 21st, 2008 at 6:39 pm
PETE HAPPY, YEAH!!!
September 21st, 2008 at 6:40 pm
Didn’t see that HR coming. Huge.
September 21st, 2008 at 6:41 pm
I missed what happened to Dobbs too (why do people call me when there is a game on?), but it seems like Feliz coming in was just meant to be.
September 21st, 2008 at 6:44 pm
Dobbs injured, eh? If anyone can update that’d be great. I’m on Gameday and all I see is “Injury delay” and then they never say what happened.
September 21st, 2008 at 6:45 pm
And now, cue “Jaws” music, the dreaded 8th inning.
September 21st, 2008 at 6:51 pm
Easy 8th? Wow!
September 21st, 2008 at 7:06 pm
What the hell was that?
September 21st, 2008 at 7:06 pm
Do you agree that Feliz dropped the ball on purpose?
September 21st, 2008 at 7:08 pm
I was watching the “other” game and missed how that unfolded.
September 21st, 2008 at 7:10 pm
dammit, Lidge is wild again
September 21st, 2008 at 7:15 pm
Oh, thank God. I can’t take this stress.
September 21st, 2008 at 7:15 pm
WOOOOO! that was another nail biter. Lidge really knows how to keep it exciting.
September 21st, 2008 at 7:16 pm
20 games over .500 since the last game of the 1993 season.
September 21st, 2008 at 7:16 pm
Are they going to give us an update on Dobbs or what?
September 21st, 2008 at 7:17 pm
how many games til we clinch playoff spot
September 21st, 2008 at 7:17 pm
Any word on Dobbs?
September 21st, 2008 at 7:20 pm
Which won first? after the Phils win i changed the channel and saw the Eagles just won.
September 21st, 2008 at 7:21 pm
Phils win. Birds win. It’s a good day to be a Philly fan.
September 21st, 2008 at 7:24 pm
It was really close, but the Phils won 1st I think.
September 21st, 2008 at 7:24 pm
magic # is 3
September 21st, 2008 at 7:26 pm
Post show says they don’t know what happened to Dobbs and won’t know “until later”.
September 21st, 2008 at 7:35 pm
Richie Allen, 3 for a spot in the playoffs…
September 21st, 2008 at 7:42 pm
Thank god thats it for the Marlins until April….
September 21st, 2008 at 7:50 pm
Hopefully Dobbs will be fine, but like I been telling everyone..The Mets are going to fold. Don’t be surprised if the Brew Crew wins the wild card. The Mets have a VERY tough schedule coming up, and the way their bullpens been playing, there in a wind full of trouble.
September 21st, 2008 at 7:51 pm
The people on this site if you think Werth is everyday player. He can’t hit right hand pitching.I worry the phillies will let Burrell go. And try a outfield of Werth,Victorino, jenkins and golson god forbid .
September 21st, 2008 at 8:18 pm
What’s the earliest date the Phillies could win the division?
September 21st, 2008 at 8:24 pm
I am glad the Marlins are in the rear-view mirror.
I agree with you mike m. Werth is probably not an everyday player, but I think if he could get his average up to a respectable number against righties(maybe .255), and mash lefties, then he could be a decent everyday guy.
As far as Jenkins goes, they can not go into next season with him in the starting lineup. The need to get someone else in there, and fast.
I would like to see Golson get a shot to make the MLB club next year, but in no way would I start him. I would love to have him off the bench as a pinch runner, and an occasional spot starter. Our bench has basically no speed, and he would be an asset to the club.
September 21st, 2008 at 8:25 pm
If you’re looking to get tickets to an upcoming game, I’m saying Friday night is the night they clinch the division.
September 21st, 2008 at 8:25 pm
DO YOU HAVE ME YET?!?!
September 21st, 2008 at 8:36 pm
Anyone else watching the Yankees play their final game in Yankee Stadium tonight? I’m not a Yankees fan at all, but it’s a shame that it’s being closed. Corporate greed wins again! I wonder how long Fenway has?
September 21st, 2008 at 8:38 pm
A nailbiter, a great win, nearly ruined by Wheeler’s “color” commentary and his constant kissing up to the Fish. Everyone knows they can hit. Enough!
September 21st, 2008 at 8:50 pm
Update from ESPN: “Dobbs said he’ll be available to play Monday” and Dobbs also said about his getting injured and Feliz coming in for a 2 run HR, “My timing was impeccable.”
September 21st, 2008 at 8:52 pm
That is classy by Dobbs.
September 21st, 2008 at 9:01 pm
Is anyone else watching the last game at Yankees stadium ever?
September 21st, 2008 at 9:05 pm
Phil, I am.. even though I’m not a Yankees fan, I can appreciate their rich history. It’s a shame they are knocking this monument down just to add a few luxury boxes and obtain some PSL revenue.
September 21st, 2008 at 9:08 pm
I know brian is there, lucky bastard.
September 21st, 2008 at 9:09 pm
I’m switching back and forth between that and the football game. I’d be watching the baseball game more if either of these 2 teams had a playoff chance left. Shame they didn’t have Boston @ New York for the final series of the year.
September 21st, 2008 at 9:46 pm
