The Official Philadelphia Phillies Thread

Arizona blew a 7-0 lead in the 6th and are losing to the marlins 8-7 after a pinch hit 3 run homer in the 8th.


**********Automerged Doublepost**********

Florida scored 10 runs in the eighth and lead by 7, 14-7 heading into the bottom of the inning. Arizona blows

 

Beltran's replacement for the All-Star game: Jayson Werth.

The entire outfield is going.

 

With the exception of Feliz...an All-Star Infield and Outfield...

:rocker:

 

I think Cholly chose Jayson because he wanted a good pinch hitter to come off the bench against a righty.

 

:laughy32:

11 Home Runs against righties (32 rbi)...9 against lefties (22 rbi)...

 

Anything less than a sweep of the Pirates will be disappointing imo...

Blanton vs. The Duke tonight...

Hamels tomorrow, Happ on Sunday.

 

No matter who the team is, I never expect more than 2 of 3. The Pirates aren't that horrible. I wouldn't consider it a bad series if we didn't sweep. Losing the series would be awful though.

Can we win 3 home series in a row? :icon_eek:

 

I would be happy with 2/3...but it's a perfect opportunity to take 3. The Pirates aren't in the Phils' "league."

The Phils are set up to get swept...lol...I don't know that that would surprise me either...

 

Yeah, the Phils haven't given us much to snitch about lately, so they probably will use this weekend as the opportunity to do so.

 

God I hope not...

 

Phils down 1-0.

 

McCutchen boots the ball in CF and Victorino makes a GREAT slide at the plate to tie the game at 1!!!

 

Utley's on third with heads up base running.

 

Shane's got such great wheels.

 

WERTH!! 2 run double! Phils on top 3-1!

Victorino, Utley, Werth...huge plays looking like the All-Stars they are.

 

He's always thinking ahead too...he's got a great head for the game.

 

Werth hit the double against a lefty, so it doesn't count. :icon_lol:

 

Phils come out and shut the Pirates down in the fourth. Nice inning by Blanton.

 

I'm out. Going to grab something to eat and watch the game at the bar.

 

Great play by Howard!!

Another nice play by Howard.

Bullpen does its job and gets the Phils to the bottom of the 8th. 3-1...

Victorino with another double!
