Watching ESPN, Kruky gave it to the phils. Yeah!
Manuel is partially responsible for this mess. He needed to talk to his players after getting lucky in the first game.

If we don’t let those two runs score in the first by playing the infield in, we’re going to extra innings. There was nothing we could’ve done about the umpiring, but we definitely could’ve done something about those two first inning runs.

Your looking good on the bases Ruiz. Myers did a good job tonight. A couple of sac-flys would have meant a lot tonight, and the errors hurt. This was a game the Phillies could have easily won and let slip away. Jimmy please go to Milt tomorrow and get straighten out.

A collection was taken up in the Tampa dugout after the game for the umpire crew and a special collection for the plate umpire. Donations can be sent USucUmp, PO Box 123, GetGlasses, Tampa Fl

analysis of the game:
- Myers, not that bad, really only game up 2 runs.
- Shields, completely hittable. I think the next time, Phils kill him
- Bad umpire calls costing us 1 run, and probably 2 more chances to drive in runs
- The good: the bottom of the line up continue to produce hits better than our big names. Howard tried and improved and getting robbed by the shift
- The bad: mentally soft with the errors and running mistakes. Letting the nerves get to them when RBI opportunities present themselves
- The Ugly: Can’t buy a run with RISP. Let’s shake it up, bunt them in, if u need it.
Best Player: Ruiz
Worst Player: Rollins. If the announcers and everyone in TV land can see why u suck, why can’t u and Milt and Charlie work it work before u bring that stinky poop into WS??? No excuses from a seasoned vet like him.

Goosebumps has it right. I just hope somebody in the National Media (not the local Philly papers) has the balls to call Danley out, and MLB umpiring in general. 1 mistake, I understand – everybody is human. But this guy was a walking encyclopedia of poor calls and umpiring mistakes.

Thanks guys, I’m usually more positive than this, I just get scared when they can’t hit.

Our guys are going to see the ball a lot better in the Bank…and the Rays are going to have to play in colder, outdoor weather – something they aren’t as accustomed to. (Not to mention real grass).

And while I know they handled the situation at Fenway, Phils fans are louder and better than BoSox fans – and will do what is necessary to get under the Rays skins…

Plus, it will be louder simply b/c they’ll be at least 12,000 more fans in the ballpark.

I think the RISP will improve at home with the fans’ excitement behind them.
