Gameday: Phillies (59-43) At Giants (57-47)

Posted by Amanda Orr, Sun, August 02, 2009 03:35 PM

Philadelphia Phillies (59-43) at San Francisco Giants (57-47)

Cole Hamels (7-5, 4.42 ERA) vs. Barry Zito (6-10, 4.54 ERA)

Time: 4:05 p.m at AT&T Park
Weather: Partly Cloudy, 66
TV: MYPHL 17/ TBS
Twitter: Phillies Nation

The Phillies will try to even the series in the four game finale.  The Phillies will send Cole Hamels to the mound, who has shown that he is a second half pitcher.

In his past five starts, Hamels is 3-0 with a 2.45 earned run average.  In addition, he has thrown at least seven innings in two consecutive outings.  It is very key for Hamels to go deep into a game, something the Phillies starters have been doing a lot lately.

Hamels will be opposed by Barry Zito, who has had an up and down year.  There is no doubt that Zito is not the same pitcher he was in 2002 when he won the American League Cy Young award with the Oakland Athletics.  He never lived up to his expectations when he signed a seven year, $126 million contract with the Giants in 2006.  Zito is 2-1 with a 3.50 ERA in his career against the Phillies.

The Phillies need to start hitting with runners in scoring position.  On the road trip, the Phils are hitting .103 (6-for-56) with RISP.

  1. Andrew Says:

    Do I watch the horrible chris wheeler the worst broadcaster in sports. That includes all sports.
    or
    the wonderful krukow and kiper who are the best in the business on the SF feed?

    I am a phillies fan. sucks that our announcer is this terrible.

  2. Keith Says:

    nooooo, Bruntlett is playing

  3. Andrew Says:

    Batty Zito the king of the skells
    Probably a gem here.

  4. Paul Says:

    Andrew, I live in Northern Cal, and I’ve never been a big fan of Krukow and Kuiper, but they have gotten much better now that Bonds is gone.

    If Bruntlett doesn’t get a hit today, he should get cut.

  5. Andrew Says:

    I havent checked the line up card. Bruntlett in? Can only hope that Bako is in also.

    attack of the killer Bs

    Sf and arizona are my favorite announcer teams.
    I dont like Vin scully solo. I do despise the mets idiots also.

    Oh I am gonna get it now!

  6. Keith Says:

    Bruntlett should hit some homeruns today and have us like him

  7. Tracey Says:

    That little technical difficulty on the commercial break was weird…

  8. Manny Says:

    I don’t always drink beer, but when I do, I prefer Dos Equis

  9. Ed R. Says:

    Maybe Cole could throw a few more right down the middle of the plate…is he even trying?

  10. Terri Says:

    Well, i hope our offense came to play today.

  11. Tracey Says:

    Yeah, the pitching is off to an ugly start, and the bats haven’t done much yet. This don’t look pretty.

  12. Martin Says:

    Trust me Barry Zito is gonna throw a gem today. Phils will lose. If Phillies face us in playoffs doesn’t matter if Phils have home field advantage, giants are gonna destroy. Their pitching is too dominant. As much as Phils hit HRs thats how many they strike out in a game. Rocks swept phils in 07 and lost in WS. Giants are gonna sweep phils in 09 and win WS. 1-2-3 inning for Zito in 3rd. Bruntlett, Ruiz and Hamels = Average of .167BA. Wow. stinkers

  13. Tracey Says:

    OK, good damage control, now let’s do some damage of our own.

  14. PGD Says:

    why do i get the feeling the Phils wont comeback from this 1-0 deficit

  15. Andrew Says:

    WOW a SF troll?

    please god let us play the giants in the playoffs.

    At least bruntlett didnt strike out.

  16. Andrew Says:

    Zito is maybe the worst SP in the majors. So yes with how the phils are he will probably throw a gem. He still sucks though and in the playoffs I will be loving to face him.
    Timmy different story. Hes great.

  17. rob5000 Says:

    Martin way to pick averages from our worst player, our best hitting pitcher, and our catcher… Killer stat dude. Idiot

  18. Tracey Says:

    Never mud wrestle with a pig. You both end up covered in filth, but the pig enjoys it.

  19. psujoe Says:

    Stranding ROwan on 3rd may just cost the Giants this game.

  20. Manny Says:

    TIED GAME! J-roll!

  21. Tracey Says:

    WOO HOO!!! JROLL TIES IT UP!!!!

  22. PGD Says:

    JIMMY!

  23. Terri Says:

    Jimmy!!

  24. danny Says:

    phils should just pack up and head home. down 1-0 to barry zito, the fightins are in some trouble

  25. Ed R. Says:

    WAY TO GO J-ROLL!!!!

  26. Andrew Says:

    j rol
    MVP

  27. Ed R. Says:

    You were saying danny?

  28. rob5000 Says:

    My god did he turn on that pitch

  29. Speedbert Says:

    Boom! Rollins – tie game.

  30. Tracey Says:

    As JROLL goes, so go the Phils. A late start, but a spectacular one. Let’s see some more of that!

  31. danny Says:

    improbably, barry zito gives up a run!!!!!!!!!!!! this is history, folks. hopefully martin will be our guide

  32. j reed Says:

    man when you hit a home run in this park you should get 1.5 runs. nice work mr rollins

  33. Terri Says:

    Howard’s at bats are not pretty.

  34. Kimmy Says:

    barry zito can kiss my booty. i’d be more scared of a nat’s pitcher….

  35. Brooks Says:

    I might have missed it, is Raul just resting? It looks like the entire offense needs a rest – but I feel a W today.
    Hopefully, Raul and Victorino will be back in town this week…
    I miss em’

  36. Brooks Says:

    Oh man who wouldn’t love to see Raul at bat right here

  37. Kimmy Says:

    WHEW! lucky one Chase!

  38. Tracey Says:

    Yes, just resting for Raul, but Victorino had a minor injury.

  39. Brooks Says:

    Isn’t Vic day to day?

  40. danny Says:

    did anyone read the sports illustrated piece about what a great baserunner utley is? we all knew that already. said hes the best 1st to 3rd.

  41. Manny Says:

    Wohooo!!! One more run!

  42. Tracey Says:

    OH BABY!!! PHILS TAKE THE LEAD!!!

  43. rob5000 Says:

    Hahaha great defense by the Giants

  44. Kimmy Says:

    DAMN IT!!!!

  45. Tracey Says:

    Oops. But Phils are ahead.

  46. Manny Says:

    Um…why was Werth trying to steal there?

  47. Ed R. Says:

    WTF was that? Never make the first or third out at 3rd…why was Werth running?

  48. danny Says:

    nighty night, giants

  49. Tracey Says:

    FYI: The Giants announcers on the radio are not certain that Werth was out there.

  50. Ed R. Says:

    He looked safe but either way, if you are trying to steal 3rd with 2 outs then it better not be a question as to whether you were safe or not.

  51. j reed Says:

    Ed r. – werth’s been reading the National’s play book in his off time

  52. Ed R. Says:

    must have been.

  53. Manny Says:

    Holy crap, Eric Bruntlett got a double!!! Sh*t happens

  54. Ed R. Says:

    About MF time E.B

  55. Terri Says:

    Holy Sh!T, he got a hit!

  56. Andrew Says:

    clean shaven eric bruntlett even hits the 125 million dollar kid.

  57. Tracey Says:

    Wow, if even Bruntlett can hit like that, Giants are in trouble…

  58. j reed Says:

    wow, i didn’t realize just how much chooch’s avg nosedived

  59. CZ Says:

    Some fireworks from the bottom of the order!

  60. Terri Says:

    Wow, and he ran FAST!!!

  61. Kimmy Says:

    wow, i hate to be negative but it’s a rare day in my book that bruntlett does something right, but he’s doing alright today! and WELCOME BACK RUIZ!!

  62. Tracey Says:

    Yikes… who told Bruntlett to run? He got lucky.

  63. Andrew Says:

    Bruntlett is available in 100% of yahoo fantasy leagues. Get him while you can.

  64. j reed Says:

    well hopefully this can turn it around for chooch

  65. Manny Says:

    Choochster!

  66. PGD Says:

    what was martin saying about the deadly combo of bruntlett and ruiz

  67. CZ Says:

    Bruntlett’s avg. just skyrocketed to .133!

  68. Manny Says:

    10 in a row for Cole!

  69. Keith Says:

    Bruntlett is telling Bako that he’s better

  70. Manny Says:

    Jinxed!

  71. Kimmy Says:

    lets go cole, finish this inning up! you’ve got this!

  72. Manny Says:

    DAMN IT

  73. Tracey Says:

    oof… game tied again with two outs.

  74. Terri Says:

    DAMN!

  75. Kimmy Says:

    UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH!

  76. Andrew Says:

    Has anyone mentioned sending cole to the pen?

  77. CZ Says:

    I hate this damn park

  78. Ed R. Says:

    Wow Velez was flying around those bases.

  79. PGD Says:

    the power of the bloop

  80. Terri Says:

    He had two outs.

  81. PGD Says:

    are u kidding me right now

  82. Tracey Says:

    oh crap….

  83. Terri Says:

    OMG!! WTF Howard!! Falling apart

  84. CZ Says:

    i cant watch this sh*t

  85. Manny Says:

    JESUS HOWARD>>> TAKE A NAP

  86. Kimmy Says:

    sending cole to the pen isn’t necessary. he’s been fine. besides, if he went anywhere it would be down for a few weeks. and we all know that’s not happening.

    btw, we all need to start praying, we’re down a run now… damnit howard…no good :(

  87. Ed R. Says:

    Well that was just a terrible play by Howard…is he kidding with that crap? He better knock one out of the park later to make up for that.

  88. Manny Says:

    And the freaking Panda boy almost killed Hamels on the basepath

  89. Terri Says:

    This was suppose to be a 1 2 3 inning. All this happen with two outs!

  90. The Dipsy Says:

    Ryan was having a Keith Hernandez moment. Anytime you get Hamels and Howard wrapped up in the same defensive play you know its gonna end up poorly.

    The Dipsy

  91. Georgie Says:

    Jesus, I just came in from working outside and WTF? Think I’ll go right back out, dammit.

  92. Andrew Says:

    cole to the pen i thought was an obvious joke
    but i do hear people talk about happ to the pen which to me is equally absurd.

  93. Kimmy Says:

    thank god we’re done with that inning. i’m going to kung fu fight that f’n kung fu panda if he ever gets that close to cole again.

  94. j reed Says:

    i cringed when i heard sanchez was in the game to day

  95. Andrew Says:

    I hope he doesnt mistake him for a chicken wing or cole is in trouble

  96. psujoe Says:

    Phils need some home cookin’ real bad. Let’s hope we can escape with a W. Sheez.

  97. CZ Says:

    Hamels has been getting killed by the bloop hit all year. He really hasn’t been hit hard. If it wasn’t for that ridiculous ‘triples alley’ this game would be much different.

  98. Ed R. Says:

    I dont know about Cole being fine. A lot of people, myself included blast Moyer for what he has done this year, or not done, and ERA wise, they are about even. Heck, Moyer has more wins than Cole. Honestly Cole has been a huge disappointment this year.

    I am glad we traded for Lee, now we have one ace rather than none.

  99. PGD Says:

    geez i sware that velez guy is the king of bloops

  100. Keith Says:

    can we have bloop hits now?

  101. Kimmy Says:

    i have a feeling happ will go to the pen when pedro comes up then after pedro consistantly only gets thru 5 there will be a switch-a-roo and we’ll get our happ back

  102. Ed R. Says:

    Not sure how you can say Cole hasn’t been getting hit hard all year, he has given up 18 home runs. That’s hit pretty hard.

  103. Mikey Mike Says:

    I keep comparing this team to a Balloon…and right now they are absolutely 100% deflated.
    I can’t believe this crap sometimes…its a good thing they were so hot because right now they are really really cold.
    I mean COME ON Cole, 2 outs with the PITCHER up and you do that?! I thought he would be pissed that hes not the ace anymore and go out and be a stud, instead this happens.
    Ugh, well you can’t win um all….

  104. Tracey Says:

    OK Ryan, time to make up for that error in the last inning. Hit one into the giant glove for me.

  105. Manny Says:

    Howard is a HR away from the Howard

  106. Tracey Says:

    (SIGH!!!)

  107. Terri Says:

    Howard looks HORRIBLE!

  108. CZ Says:

    I REALLY JUST WANT TO SCREAM!!!!!!

  109. Andrew Says:

    1. there is a quality start for barry skell zito

    2. howard is killing me. he needs to get hot like he normaly does in the second half

  110. nm Says:

    all ryan does is K…what a surprise

  111. Georgie Says:

    you have to give Ryan that-when he looks bad, he looks REALLLLLY bad.

  112. Terri Says:

    Cholly should have rest Howard. He did it for Raul.

  113. CZ Says:

    I bet 75% of those home runs have been solo shots. He’s a fly ball pitcher and has and always will give up home runs but all this dink and dunk crap has been his bugaboo this year.

  114. Repeat! Says:

    Sad, Sad baseball at its best.

  115. Terri Says:

    Cole is getting hit. This game might be over.

  116. nm Says:

    maybe charlie will sit ryan for a couple games like he did with jimmy…hopefully

    what is going on with cole??

  117. Andrew Says:

    cole stinks his ERa is higher than zitos now.
    but lets take happ out of the rotation LOL our best pitcher all year

  118. Paul Says:

    Awful, get Hamels out.

    I’ll be happy to see the Phillies leave SF, this has been a bad series except for Lee’s start.

    And this is why I hope the Phils don’t face the Giants in the post season.

  119. Andrew Says:

    ok old man how much is enough?

  120. Manny Says:

    Alright, Cole… bring your A game next time, please

  121. Keith Says:

    Hamels sucks today

  122. Georgie Says:

    ok, that’s it for me, back outside, not even going to turn the radio on…

    I’m looking forward to reading all your comments later, so remember to add some comic relief, just to mix it up a little.

  123. Terri Says:

    Joe Blanton pitched better yesterday. Looked like a number two. Could have won the game if the offense did something. oh look, Cole gives up another run.

  124. Keith Says:

    Rockies are gonna beat the Giants out

  125. Ed R. Says:

    I really do not want to have to face this team in the playoffs if we get there.

  126. CZ Says:

    i am so pissed off. how can you go from being so good to being so bad. pathetic. and i have to listen to the giants announcers rubbing it in

  127. Terri Says:

    Bases loaded.

  128. Kimmy Says:

    holy shit. make the bleeding stop charlie!

  129. Manny Says:

    Too many innings for Cole, last year… and too many magazine covers

  130. Paul Says:

    Glad that Zito is coming out, Giants don’t have a great bullpen.

  131. Andrew Says:

    Imagine if we win another series Cole will be completely worthless

    Dude if i see you on HBO on another red carpet and you are continuing to suck you will be on my no longer like list.

    Concentrate on baseball.

  132. Kimmy Says:

    giants commentators are dumb asses.

    park has gotten us out of a lot of jams since he’s been in the ‘pen. LET’S GO PARK!!

  133. Kimmy Says:

    I hate/love that they bring Harry’s sport coat w/them everywhere. i tear up each time they talk about him. rip……oh and harry, GET ON THESE BOYS FOR PLAYING LIKE THIS!

  134. Geoff Says:

    Well this is a wake up call for the Phillies. They aren’t as good as they think they are, and if they want to get back to what they are supposed to be theyre going to have to hit good pitching like they used to be able to.

    Cole Hamels has been a complete failure this season. Who knows, there are dozens of potential reasons.

    The Phillies better come from behind and win this game to earn a split.

  135. Andrew Says:

    the staffs current rankings
    1. lee
    2. blanton
    3. happ
    4 .moyer
    5. Mr. GQ photo shoot

  136. Repeat! Says:

    This loss will be a hard pill to swallow. But lets not go off the deep in here. The Phillies are the defending Champs and at min will have a 5 game lead in the divisiongoing into next week. Things could be whole lot worse. Just asks the sports fans in Cleveland or Buffalo.

  137. Terri Says:

    The Phil as a whole look off. Monday could not come soon enough for them. They need a day off. Let’s go Chan Ho.

  138. Andrew Says:

    the phils are the best team in the national league
    the best teams lose 60 games

    We all know this phils team can go 2 weeks without scoring etc etc

    i predict they will be fine. SF has the best record at home in baseball they are built for that huge stadium, They have good pitching

    ok this is over 7-3

  139. Tracey Says:

    L.A. says, “Are you kiddin’ me?” Amen to that.

  140. Paul Says:

    How can the Phils be getting beat by this Valez guy?

  141. Terri Says:

    And it all started with a hit from the pitcher…

  142. nm Says:

    the giants aren’t even good offensively…they shouldn’t have 7 runs…nice job cole

  143. Geoff Says:

    I dont think we should over reaect either. But this had better be a wake up call to the team that you cant cruise around out there against good teams.

  144. Repeat! Says:

    There’s no crying in baseball? Say’s who!

  145. Tracey Says:

    Let’s not forget: we have come back from a 7-3 deficit before. LET’S GO PHILS!

  146. Andrew Says:

    I remember the phillies dominating the dodgers last year. Who did the dodgers add orlando hudson?

    the phils added Lee and Ibanez.

    I guarentee we do not lose to LA in the playoffs. No shot.

    These teams can beat the phils in a playoff series

    the cardinals, red sox and yankees

    the end

  147. Manny Says:

    Can’t believe how easily Cole gets rattled…. He gets 10 guys out in a row, then gives up a hit by the pitcher… but instead of brushing it off, he completely falls apart.

  148. Terri Says:

    The Phils have been in a funk these past couple of games. It is frustrating. Offense has been HORRIBLE on this road trip.

  149. Repeat! Says:

    I like your spirit Tracey. I’d join you, but I’m out of beer. Maybe I should go outside and pretend that I’m breaking into my own house so I can get a couple of free ones on the Whitehouse. Somebody call 911!

  150. Tracey Says:

    Whee!

  151. Keith Says:

    let’s go Bruntlett!

  152. Jeff Says:

    This is embarrasing. The Giants offense is horrible. I keep saying trade Howard. To late with that big money. All he does is strike out. Once in a while he hits a homer. He is not fun to watch. Cole always falls apart when something bothers him. Like that Zito hit. You need to get the pitcher out in that spot. 3-4 road trip. This is aweful. Moyer on the mound next. BOOOOOM

  153. Keith Says:

    no trading Howard, trade Jeff

  154. Repeat! Says:

    The Phils got a base runner. Somebody turn up the Superman music!

  155. Tracey Says:

    Oh good grief. Feliz should have been able to tag and get to 2nd there.

  156. mikeB Says:

    Except for Cliff Lee’s win, a lost weekend for the Phils. If the Giants do not have the Phillies attention, they might after this series is over. Historically, the Phillies have never really played well in San Francisco. Hamels just does not seem to have that “fire” when he pitches. Looks like he goes out there thinking, “Oh well, just another start, another game, another day at the ballpark.”

  157. Jeff Says:

    Are you crazy keith. His production goes down every year. My buddy is a Giants fan and he loves when Howard comes to the plate. He says YES PUT THE K ON THE BOARD.

  158. Keith Says:

    blah

  159. Tracey Says:

    argh

  160. Keith Says:

    Phillies will be fine with the Giants, they’ll take them down in Philly.

  161. Jeff Says:

    Ok Keith. There pitching will come back in and make Howard there Biatch again. Kane, The Freak…Do you realize the Phillies cant hit good pitching. Howard looks like he has no clue.

  162. Andrew Says:

    howard carried the team sept last year
    he swings at crap so the pitchers throw him crap

    its a slippery slope

  163. Jeff Says:

    Hamels looks like he wants to be on Survivor 10 with his movie star wife.

  164. The Little Guy Says:

    Jeffie

  165. The Little Guy Says:

    Everyone needs to calm the f down!

  166. The Little Guy Says:

    The Lovely Bones is a very good book

  167. The Little Guy Says:

    Has anybody read it?

  168. Repeat! Says:

    No, I meant the theme song for “A Great American Hero.” Look at what just happened to me-eeeee. I can’t believe it myself. I get a two out and then the Phillies collaspe.And now I’m about to get just my 7th win of year! Believe or not, I’m not really this good. But the Phils hitters keep on appeasing meeee.” Barry Zito

  169. Panda Bear Says:

    I am a panda bear

  170. Panda Bear Says:

    I feed on pitching

  171. Panda Bear Says:

    I will get you guys in the middle of the night

  172. Andrew Says:

    I liked the pnada bear in tropic thiunder they make a nice coat also.

  173. Panda Bear Says:

    I will wake up to tell you that you won’t win

  174. Andrew Says:

    I will f the panda up

  175. Andrew Says:

    I hate the stupid panda. He doesn’t look like a panda. He’s just a fat slob.

  176. Repeat! Says:

    Jeff: You’re friend’s a moron and he’s probably gay too.

  177. Nationals fan Says:

    We won today

  178. Nationals fan Says:

    We might win the division

  179. Brandi Chastain Says:

    I scored the winning PK!

  180. Brandi Chastain Says:

    FC Gold Pride

  181. Brandi Chastain Says:

    We had a bad season and won’t make the playoffs. But do try to make the games next year.

  182. Andrew Says:

    I have an imposter.
    ok we are being over run here by trolls
    From san fransicko of all places

  183. Brandi Chastain Says:

    Andrew come to a FC Gold Pride game

  184. Repeat! Says:

    National’s Fan…. Only if Bud creates a “special” two team division with you and the Mets. And based on how he handled Game 5, he might be just stupid enough to make it happen.

  185. Brandi Chastain Says:

    Repeat! you can come too . . .

  186. Bloop Hits 101 Says:

    I’m the Giants today!

  187. Hot Phillies Girl Says:

    I’m one sexy Phillies fan who wants us to win

  188. Greg V. Says:

    The Phils never play well in San Fran. But this whole road trip the writing has been on the wall that the team needs a rest.

  189. Eli Says:

    Hahaha

  190. Greg V. Says:

    you can’t be that sexy or you wouldn’t be on here!

  191. Hot Phillies Girl Says:

    silly Greg how untrue

  192. Mr. Douple Play Says:

    I arrived

  193. Keith Says:

    Werth walk, Feliz single, Dobbs walk, Stairs HR

  194. Keith Says:

    ugh fine

    Feliz single, Dobbs walk, Stairs HR, Ibanez HR

  195. Repeat! Says:

    The Giants would trade places with us in a heart beat. Let’s see a World Series Title in 2008, and in 1st place again in 2009 in a semi-weak division. Or the Giants who are 0 for San Fran. Who are also in a hopeless chase of the Dodgers, in a dogfight with CO and like 5 others for a wild card spot and have the worst O in the NL. I’m torn? Congrats on the series win Giants fans, but you still have to come to Philly. We are gonna kick your @sses!

    No really The Lovely Bones is a good book

  200. Trish Says:

    Yes! I read it a couple years ago. THEY’RE MAKING A MOVIE?!!!!!!!

  201. DJ Says:

    Thats the fastest I have ever seen a Jeltz award go up! Hey how many K’s vs Hits did Howard have on the West Coast trip?

  202. j reed Says:

    sounds good…do you think it will translate from page to screen

  203. j reed Says:

    ryan howard gets the Jeltz! What about the two-pitch pony

  204. The Little Guy Says:

    Yes Trish look at the wikipedia link

    I hope so j reed. It has a great cast and Peter Jackson of Lord of the Rings fame is directing it. Comes out in December!

  205. j reed Says:

    little guy – cool…well jackson did a tremendous job on the Lord of the Rings and those were books

  206. Trish Says:

    YAHOOOOOOOO

  207. Brandi Chastain Says:

    little guy, j reed, and Trish!!! come to the bay and watch FC Gold Pride play some quality soccer.

  208. Trish Says:

    soccer? what about baseball?

  209. Repeat! Says:

    Eli….. Why are u afraid of the wind? Your D won that Game. And Plax was wide open. Although nice spin move. But u got lucky that Sam didn’t pick that pass off and take it to the house. The Yanks can’t beat Boston and the Mets are scared of their own *ucking farm staff. Nearly 2 billion spent on two 2 stadiums for 2 losers.

  210. Repeat! Says:

    I just owned Eli.

  212. Whole in the wall gang Says:

    Wow who’d a thunk it get the tissues out for Hamels again 4.68 era..I hope no one ever compares him to Steve Carllton…..he’s what 7-6 this year….I wonder how much the Lee trade affected him….he is a momma’s boy ya know coming from California ….they grow them out there…..think they should rest him for about a month….hmmmm I could almost bet they’ll put him on the disable list 2 morrow…or his wife will write him a note….Dear Charlie, I’m keeping Cole home for a few weeks he needs some tlc with his wifey….thank you.
    ps. Ryan can you reach 200 k’s by the end of August.

  213. Kimmy Says:

    lovely bones is a good book, yes. BUT if you want to talk books join Oprah’s Book Club and get outta here

  214. Cole Hamels Says:

    leave me alone

  215. Jeff of NoVa. Says:

    Hamels is still inconsistent and having problems

  216. The Little Guy Says:

    No Kimmy

  218. mikeB Says:

    Maybe if the Phillies beat the Giants in Philly in September, they will help keep the Giants from making the playoffs. The key for the Giants will be how they play on the road from here on out and away from their home ballpark which is a big advantage for them and their pitching staff. They have one of the best records at home but one of the worst on the road, 21-31, and the worst road record of all the teams in the playoff hunt. Might have the best pitching of all of those teams but probably the weakest offense too. Will really have to rely on their pitching.

  219. The Little Guy Says:

  225. Repeat! Says:

    Brandi… I did play soccer in high school. Scored 1 freakin goal in 2yrs of playing mid-fielder/L-Wing. I know…. Pathetic….. But the mental scares remain. So be nice. Thanks for the invite, but no San Fran for me.

  226. The Little Guy Says:

    I doubt that’s really Brandi Chastain

  227. Paul Bako/Eric Bruntlett fan Says:

    Paul Bako and Eric Bruntlett are true stars.

  228. Trish Says:

    THE LOVELY BONES

  229. Trish Says:

    Go Phillies Go Phillies Go Go

  230. mikeB Says:

    Howard is definitely the choice for the Jeltz today with Hamels coming in a close second with his poor outing today and giving up a hit to the pitcher which got the ball rolling for the Giants. Power outage week for the Phillies this past week but will have to turn it around for the hard hitting Rockies and Marlins coming to CBP this week.

  231. Trish Says:

    Phillies can do it

  232. Trish Says:

    they win games like The Lovely Bones entertains readers

  240. Frank Says:

    He hasn’t helped me in fantasy

  241. Greg Says:

    I want to trade Santana for Lee.

  242. Henry Says:

    Do it. Get rid of any Mets.

  243. Ian Says:

    I don’t know. Santana is pretty goood. I’d keep him. Who else do you have?

  244. Jen Says:

    I’d keep him too. He is a quality fantasy pitcher.

  245. Kevin Says:

    Cliff Lee is a true ace

  246. Linda Says:

    unlike Hamels today

  247. Mike Says:

    Hamels is not bad

  248. Nick Says:

    Did anybody say he was?

  249. Oscar Says:

    Leave Hamels be. He was pitching well until the bloop hits.

  250. Patty Says:

    Cole freaking World Series MVP Hamels

  251. Quincy Says:

    Lee
    Hamels
