beta sigma shag says~ “..some of the post on the gamenight thread made me think I mistakingly went to a mets sight, with how bad this team is.”

I had figured out a long time ago that “gamenight” threads are for those who need to release their frustrations/anger with rants that defy logic and rationale. Therefore, I rarely get involve in that kind of thread.

keng: you said
“go all the way thru with moyer given his age and velocity at this point…” Moyer’s velocity hasn’t real changed that much in what 20+ seasons….that’s why he’s been able to last this long much like knuckleballer Tim Wakefield who could have lasted as long as has throwing everyday…Last night if radar clocked Moyer @ lower than his typical range of 80-82 mph then this decrease could be attributable to the colder weather. colder air is denser which can put more drag on the ball, and this mean less velocity.

Travis I live about 20 minutes from CBP – its rough out there with absolutely no signs of letting up..

Time to regroup and make some decisions Chahlie..
beta – this has been a recurring theme with the Phils for the past couple of seasons – in 06, the Phils wasted a classic performance by our big man who had his best day as a Phil with 7 rbi – and the game ended with Ryan at bat, 2 out and maybe the bases loaded! They lost 7-9 if I could..
They need to kick the shit out of this team today or, in Toronto next week as a makeup game.. (hoping)

More Birds coming in… it looks like Markaikis might be starting to catch fire again – when he is hot the O’s are very competitive.

It is very refreshing to see calmer heads prevail in here today, some of the post on the gamenight thread made me think I mistakingly went to a mets sight, with how bad this team is. A slump is a slump, Yes the Phillies should have scored more than one run, and not strike out 11 times against Richmond, But Toronto is not a bad team, and had a few good games, So you get one tonight if you play and move on

what i don’t understand is this: earlier in the season, moyer’s spot in the rotation was skipped so that he could pitch against the Marlins who he owns…so why can’t the opposite be done, that is if there is a team that he matches-up poorly with, just skip his spot. Such is the case with the blue jays….in last night game thread, someone cited Blue Jay players lifetime stats against Moyer….No suprise this happened. I think the O’s younger team might have been a better match-up for the same reasons that the Marlins are

Best thing for the Phightins if the game is postponed. We can win in Toronto when we make it up, just not at home LOL.

I am not worrie right now, lots of baseball to come. I also agree, Jimmy has to bat 2nd or 6th. I kind of like him second only because it puts speed at the top of the lineup in a 1-2 punch (IF he gets on). Kind of like Pierre and Furcal on the Dodgers (IF Furcal can get on).
