The Official Philadelphia Phillies Thread

Cliff Lee was a decent throw in on the Francisco trade. Happ said he felt fine after the game yesterday and didn't want to be taken out. I think he'll be ok for his next start.

 

so why did Pedro come out after 3 innings tonight. Phillies made an effort in the ninth but fell just short.

 

Pedro had a stiff neck that occurred while he was hitting some how. He said he should be fine for his next start.

 

Phillies bullpen pitched amazing except for Mitch William....I mean Brad Lidge

Magic # down to 6...

 

oph, that hurt!

 

closing in a our 3rd straight division title. this will only be the 2nd time we have won 3 straight.

 

atlanta cruising, big doubleheader against Florida tomorrow.

 

Good article on Jayson Werth:

Jayson Werth giving Philadelphia Phillies a big boost - ESPN


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

Phils won the first game of the doubleheader against the Marlins 9-3.

 

magic number is 5 on braves, 4 on marlins after the first game of the doubleheader

Braves are beating the mets and marlins look in control of the second game. Moyer pitching decent, but sanchez is pitching phenomenol, only allowing 2 baserunners - a walk to rollins and single by utley.

 

still 5. lets go !

 

FREAK YOU BRAD LIDGE!!!!

FREAK YOU BRAD LIDGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


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

This is it with this freaking guy. He should not be allowed anywhere near a 1 run lead - EVER

 

Unless by some miracle he and/or Madson turn their crap around, I have no confidence in the Phillies chances of winning the World Series again.

 

the only hope is happ comes back and we go in with hamels, lee, blanton & happ as the starters and pedro as the closer. the more & more i think about it pedro is the only pitcher that could step in. i know he has given up runs in the 1st inning of his starts but thats while knowing he has a full game to pitch. i just think he is the guy with the stuff and mental focus to do it.

 

Great base running by Werth. 3-1 Phils...

 

Baco gets an RBI single...

4-1 Phils...

 

J.A. Happ gets his first RBI of the season.

5-1 Phillies!!

 

J. ROLL!!!!!

3 run HR!

8-1 Phillies!

 

nice play to get hart at home

 

That was a thing of beauty all around.

 

They ought to let Happ close in the playoffs...
