   I DVR’d the game, haven’t watched it yet, but I think I will, looks like JA put on quite a show.

   must be nice Georgie, living in the great state of Vermont direct tv had no feed for the game blacked out on extra innings also. So I am stuck with highlights. Hopefully this will be a nice wake up call,
   I have always liked Happ, I really think he has the game and mental capacity to be a solid #3 in not #2 pitcher for the next few years. Let’s hope this will start a little win streak win one more tomorrow so we can take another series on the road. Looking forward to 4th of July game I am going to against the Muts.

   A great game all around especially for Happ. As good as it was though it means nothing unless we build on it. Tuesday was good too but we lost the next three. We gotta win tommorrow to really be on the right track.

   Still, feels good to have something positive to think about.

   Lets hope the Yankees can put away the Mets. So we can salvage this landslide

   The rise of this team over the last 3 years has been leaned toward great, consistent seasons by people like Ryan Howard, Jimmy Rollins and we have grown to expect the same out of Chase Utley. Each of these players could carry the team on their shoulders, each in their own way and definitely working together. When Howard had his monster year, both Jimmy and Chase helped his RBI total by being on base consistently. The next year when Jimmy put his mind to it, he moved the Phils in ways we have not seen before. The too infrequent bursts of greatness that players like Jason Werth displays are great to watch but frustrating to hold on to for the next big chance. This year that model of greatness and consistency has been Raul and wouldn’t it just feel better if one of our big 3 could be a bigger factor?
   When either of those 3, combined with Victorino’s spark catches fire, I will have full confidence in the final outcome because hopefully, Raul will still be carrying the big stick when he returns (I cant wait!). The Phils are 2-8 since the 17th when he went on the DL.

   Do we even need Rollins? He didnt play and we win with this much of a landslide. Should we be trading him for a pitcher?

    Staurt you must be kidding the phillies won 10-1 the other night with Rollins, so you must be high to consider trading JRoll, he will be back and probably stronger and more focused then before, He has been here before, and came back ok last year.

    Geoff maybe you should spend more days at the beach, especially tomorrow so we don’t have to hear you complain about Jamie pitching, and the Phillies will win

12. beta sigma shag Says:

    I say Jamie pitches 6 and 2/3 gives up 3 runs on 6 hits and 2 walks and leaves the game with Phillies winning 6-3 and a guy on first

    Haha, Stuart….we won 10-0 without Cole too…and Blanton and our whole bullpen and and Michael Taylor and basically without Charlie too. They all must go!

    Happ has established himself as a legitimate starter. I hope we don’t trade him.

    Are you nuts, Gameday? No one needs to go right now, we need to add not subtract.

    The only reason it makes me think of trading Jimmy is I feel he is to the point where he is just a bad attitude in the lineup. He ruins rallies and cant start one for his life. His defense is solid but not what it used to be. If donald was healthy I would consider moving him in for a few games and seeing how he does, if he did well then I would dangle Rollins out there for a trade. And you cant use an example of pitchers. that is completely different.
