you sillies fans crack me up you guys are the biggest bandwagoners than any other state in professional sports…after your bullpen blew the game tonight many of you idiots were mumbling about how phillies suck they wont do anything in the playoffs…well u guys are right about two things…first the phillies blow better than ur fugly gf and wives and two the phiillies wont do anything in the playoffs cuz they wont make it. If you guys think the phillies have a shot to come into shea and take 2 out of 3 u guys have no awareness whatsoever. 2 outta 3 in new york? fuggetitboutit!!!!!!! dont get mad that philly isnt like nyc. u guys are the little brothers of nyc the posers of nyc and a downright slum compared to nyc!!! the nicest building in the city is the peco building? hahaha philly is a straight up joke

This move had to be made – The move basically gives up a 45-50% chance of beating Santana. I say 45-50% because the Phillies have trouble against lefties, and the Mets have a little more balance in the order.

J-Man, I think they skip Kendrick’s start entirely, and just come back to him when it is his turn in the rotation again. I know most people want Kendrick out, but I think he can be a serviceable 5th starter if he can just learn to pitch inside to lefties and keep them off guard. He has hit 14 batters this season: 12 righties, 2 lefties and faced almost the same amount of each. That just shows that he is afraid to pinch tight to lefties – Lefties are hitting .340 against him on the year, and showing no fear in the batter’s box.

Nice to hear Cole will pitch Sunday we need him…Now i wonder if they let Kendrick go that Monday against the Marlins or give Happ a start.

Positive and essential move, Myers would have been a viable candidate if he wern’t on short rest that day. This could be an essential match in whats likely to be a rubber or a series saver.

If he blows out his arm along the stretch, we’re screwed… Shouldn’t we be relying a little more on Dubee and Cole’s opinions on this one rather than the old man’s?
