The Official Philadelphia Phillies Thread (2010)

hightin:

Bring on the Muts!

Halladay going against Mejia Friday. No announcement for the Phils' starter on Saturday.

 

Polanco has a broken elbow, says he will finish playing out the season. I can't see how this doesn't affect his play, but lately he's been money.

Heyward pulled up with an injury in the Braves game. It didn't look serious.

 

The injuries are my biggest concern with the team. I hope J-Roll's hammy doesn't bother him the rest of the way.

Today he claimed he was misquoted about it being broken, and that it's merely a bone chip that he's been playing with all season. Whew!

Phils breaking it open...7-3 after Utley's HR to Utley Corner!

 

Someone asked earlier who came up with that phrase. I have no clue.

 

During the first two games of a June series versus the Philadelphia Phillies, Chase Utley, the Phillies' second baseman, hit three home runs, including a game winner, into the bulge near the right field foul pole.

Later, at a June 26, 2009 game against the New York Yankees, Mets broadcaster, Gary Cohen, referred to the area as "Utley's Corner"

Thanks for the info, Mike.

I expected it to be one of the Phillies announcers that dubbed it Utley's Corner, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised that it was Cohen. The Mets broadcasters always crow about this Phillies team. At one point during last night's game Ron Darling said something along the lines of, "People might think they're watching a Phillies broadcast".

 

Y'all lost... we're in bottom 12, 1 out.. ankiel up, tie game. We win, it's tied again.

 

Get out of our crib!

Today's a day I wouldn't mind a rain out.

 

No crap...

 

we dont really have any friends that come to our crib... :( we can hang here? hm..

 

Roy O brilliant once again. Alone in first again.

Easy 11-4 win against the fish tonight. Phils now 11-2 in their last 13 ROAD games.

 

King Cole's scoreless innings stretch is done. 1-1 Phils & Fish in the 2nd. Gnats up 3-0 on the Braves.

 

Livan Hernandez goes 8 shutout innings and Braves lose 6-0, gotta hold this 2-1 lead in Florida.

 

Phils have their order set up so that Halladay, Oswalt and Hamels will pitch all 6 versus the Braves...

 

i noticed that as well. Very Nice. Hopefully we have the division wrapped up prior to the last series so that we can give the big guys an extra day of rest or so. If not, no biggie.
