Thanks for new thread.

The other one was bogging down.

Thanks for posting the link.

Sleeping bats no good.

SCORING THREAD

RALLY THREAD

WINNING thread.

+1

LLAMASAURUS needs exercise

Did you see my comment on the other thread about him?

about penises?

… nooo….

Never used that word – no sireee I didn’t.

excuse me

“dicks”… lol

Use ’em if you got ’em.

I didn’t. But now I have.

RAINBOW DICKS 4 LYFE

No offense intended. I think they’re cute. :-)

This...

but not yet…

Phillies are still batting, remember?

not until EOF

gets out of this inning.

Office is on...cya draft

Don’t you spoil The Office.

How do you spoil the office?

its like the TV version of “you had to be there”

RUNS RUNS RUNS

Wrong half-inning.

haha

a little premature

RALLY MOON CAFE!

Here we go. Fast posts again!

Is that Kimbo Slice in the stands?

FRELL!!!

Bases loaded again….

ugh

stop walking people!

howard is looking for the slam…

Yankees got a triple play today. I didn’t know Francouer went to the AL.

Kurt also hit a 3-run homer. What a day

lol

He is in NY though.

The AOL Fanhouse article about their game is wrong. Said it was the first triple play since April ‘09. That can’t be right since Frenchy hit into one last year.

And he wasn’t on the team until mid-summer.

The game was in Oakland. They saidi was The 1st Time a player hit a 3-run homer & triple play in the same game, since Holliday in ’07

Nope.
It was the first triple play since Sept. 6, 2009, when Aaron Rowand of the Giants was also victimized in around-the-horn fashion.

It said April 6th, not Sept 6th earlier.

Why wouldn’t he? He’s hardly some washed up bum. Still a terrific SP.

Howard with bases loaded - HUGE strikeout!

RUNS RUNS RUNS

Utley’s a much more nerve-wracking AB than Howard.

Utley is a god-destroying titan.

Shouldn’t it be titan-destroying god?

Utley does not care.

way to go Eric!

fuck yeah

damage control right there

and


Not taking any chances.

Mccann glaus escobar heyward...

welp…if you want a chance to score runs here’s a good time.

Esco will hit a home run and then get thrown out at the plate because he didn’t hustle.

STFD, Howard!

That kid gets teh Douche of the Year award.

This times eleventy billion.

That baby faced punk creeps me out

Typical teenager :)

I’m fighting that kid the day he turns 18

Just punch him now. I won’t tell anyone.

I’ve got ten bucks on you.

I’d put 10 bucks on me, my 6 year old niece, my 80-something grandmother and anyone else who would fight that little shithead

Then I want in on that action. /rolls up sleeves

Tag team?

Yeah, we need to make sure pace ourselves and don’t damage our arms or something. Safety first.

Just noticed that Jim Sorgi goes from backing up one Manning to backuing up the other.

Good start from Mac!

Heap says F your shift!

I love this man.

Heap!

lol

almost worth the slowness in the thread

This new Coors Light commericial is pretty funny

Bring the POWAH

3-1…PLEASE do something here

Good eye there, Glaus…

Good AB by Glaus so far…

Don’t know what he was looking at there.

Damn't!

Glaus watches strike 3…

Well, the thread was fast again….

lol. True. Now we have Justin Beiber and Dinos.

unoptimized gifs?

:)

Esco .193 on the season. Ouch.

BW3 Honey BBQ boneless wings = really good
Except I’m hungry again.

JPP going to the New York Football Giants. GREAT pick by them.

VICTORINO DROPS IT!!

YES!!!!

Wish he had dropped that one yesterday.

The Philly D is breaking down now…thank God.

Hahahahahahaha

F*ck you Dicktorino!!!

Oh, thank god…I thought that little fucker was going to catch that too.

omg victorino didn't catch a ball!

/Philadelphians explode

Yunel with a HIT! 2nd, 3rd - 1 out!

FINALLY

something to center field that Victorino doesn’t catch

Don't you do it Jason...

I dare you to hit one here.

Lol…reminds me of talking to my 6 year old nephew: “Garret, don’t you DARE eat all of your food! You’re too little to do it. Only big boys can do that.”

Nice psychology.

Heyward: never made an out with a runner on 3rd

and 2-0 count is good too

3-0 count on Heyward…

This ump has stopped calling those low strikes all of a sudden.

should have kept my fucking mouth shut…fail

Perfect on 3-1 counts and beyond…

When did pitches at the ankles become strikes?

Damn't...

3-2 count now…

FUCK!!!

Damn these called 3rd strikes…

Ahhh

Jason :(

Glaus and Heyward staring at pitches right down the middle. Unreal.

C'mon...

All I want is a little base hit here….just one, please?

its up to the melk man!!!!
Man oh Man, Glaus and Heyward caught looking .
Well

so much for Heyward being perfect.

ZOMG Heyward struck out.
 
Trade him for Podsednik, quick!
 
:P

mmmmm double down sandwich
Fail.

Didn’t expect much else tho, to be perfectly honest.

This fucking team, I swear…

The offense sucks D
...sigh

more left on base

Melky pops it up.

What a waste in that iinning.

Melky pops it up.

What a waste in that iinning.

Brief thoughts on the cosmetic dentistry commercial: Huddy is pretty handsome. His wife’s eyes put the fear of God into me.

ZAGNUT!

has become my new favorite curse word

So at some point

we’re going to start getting hits with RISP before the 9th inning. It has to happen.

Melky pops it up.

What a waste in that iinning.

When is Melky going to heat up?
September
Geez, he looked lazy in the OF tonight,

and still struggling at the plate. I know it’s early but ?

Won’t warm melk just put everyone to sleep?

Melky pops it up.

What a waste in that iinning.

The Colts don’t pick until forever from now…

seriously...just want to see who the packers and fin's end up with

Interesting trade request in my fantasy league
 
Scott Baker to my team for Phil Hughes.

Do it…if you need a C.

Probaby wouldn’t hurt, since I already have Greinke and Sabathia.

Moylan is on to shut down the Phillies 1-2-3....

Our schedule is brutal in April.

Fancy new thread.

Maddux and video games.. haha

sega golf

I know...

I’m loving Smoltz’ stories about playing video games with Maddux in the hotels on road trips. That’s so awesome.

Dang, thread locked up and closed on me – never happened before. Had to refresh twice.

That never happens in the mvhsbball open threads. :)

It was weird. It locked up and logged me out even. Had to close the browser and start over.
Took forever to open the TC site.

Mine is acting up also,

for the first time also, duh

I’m having one heck of a delay when I hit post to comment too.

Me too

Never had such a long delay before….and my comp is BLAZING fast.

Mine too – no matter how long the threads get, I never have delay.
Until tonight – this one.

Moylan gets the K!

STFD Werth!

Moylan with a K

titans took derrick morgan

damn

My dads a tech fan and was hoping the falcons would get him.

Does Goodell know the Morgan kid? That was a pretty strong hug.

When Bobby leaves, does the whole staff go with him?
Well I hope TP goes.

Bradford reinjured his throwing shoulder signing some autographs at the Rams’ post-draft party.
 
He will be out for the season.

He’s not on the LA Clippers…

Poor Blake Griffin. I wanted to see him play so bad too

Lolz.
Drew Brees on the cover of Madden this year. Next victim of the curse, perhaps? Discuss!

Dude went to OU, so he automatically sucks.
 
Plus he probably had an unauthorized job at a car dealership while he was there.

Hell ya. Can’t spell cOcksUckers without OU.

You also can’t spell wonderful without OU

Sigh

Moylan screwed up the 1-2-3….

I’d take a vidro right now

By the way I’m done building my time machine. Going back to the 90s. If ya wanna go, say the word.

shoot...

take me back to 2000-2003 when we still had OUR pitchers with a killer offense

Can we go back to the 95 World Series?

let me look up some mega millions #s

then we’ll head out

Good idea, TBWTBADP.

Won’t you take me back then
Just take me back then
Won’t you take me back then
Why don’t you take me……..HA!

Take me back
I wanna be there with you
It happened just like that
taaaake meeee baaaaack
Oh-ohhh dejavu

So which players should we bring back from the 90s to present day?

90s era Maddux

Mad dog it is…
And we’ll go to the 80s and bring back Murphy. Won’t change anything, the Braves sucked in the 80s WITH him so it won’t make a difference.

this is hard to watch
OH C'MON!!!

No one can get a glove on that? :(

Have we even turned a DP tonight? I know we’ve tried….

not that i can recall

time to start getting really drunk

New corollary term...

DLV – Derek Lowe vodka

I was just gonna stick with DLW…Derek Lowe Whiskey

I just heard of a drink tonight called a J&G. You take Jameson’s irish whiskey and mix it with ginger ale.
 
Didn’t have it. It does sound tasty though.

Yeah, it’s great. I started with that and slowly just went to Jameson on the rocks.

I can’t drink tonight – I have surgery in the morning at 7:30 am to remove a wisdom tooth.

I’ll be on some good drugs tomorrow night’s game. :-)

Good luck,

Been there done that.

Could be worse, but appreciate it.
Gotta eat soft stuff for a few days – which in unfortunate.

Getting your wisdom teeth pulled sucks. Good luck with that.

Just hoping it doesn’t make me stooopid.

Keep your chin up like Eckstein would.

what is this from our bullpen

pick it up!

Hitting

Why do i feel like the braves are one of the worst teams with runners in scoring position. Is it on the players or Terry Pendleton? Seems like all the Braves that have left recently have hit better with their new teams(except for slow starting laRoche).

I blame Edward James Olmos.

I’ll tell you who it was… it was that damned Sasquatch

Naaaa….Lochness Monster is clearly to blame. Also, he owes me about tree fitty.

ATL

on the clock

Sean Weatherspoon from Mizzou. Just watch.

Called that shit!!! You’re welcome Falcons, you’ll love Spoooooooooon

best player available or need?

they select Jason Heyward.

Who's the bigger douchebag:

Tiger Woods or Ben Rothelisberger.

I hate Rothelisberger…or whatever the hell his last name is.

Ben. He tagged a drunk girl. Not cool. Woods was acting just like most rich athletes.

Did you read the report…sounds very sketch, and I am not a Big Ben fan. But, I honestly don’t think he did it.

In all seriousness

I agree here…you are like a big time NFL QB and the best game you got is to force yourself on a near-passed-out girl? Awesome.

Pretty much. I read her hand-written statement, I think he did it. Those off duty cops are even sleazier than him IMO.

She contradicted herself and was so drunk, her friends had to help her up. No witnesses, and a drunk girl who can’t get her story straight and can’t even stand. No way you can say he did it with that as your evidence.

Woods…
Duh.
Saw a Gatorade bottle today that said “No excuses” on it. Funny when they used to sponsor Tiger or whatever.

Did anyone see and hear him cursing during the Masters?
ahhh

weatherspoon is sick…too bad for me…I’m a panthers fan =P

weatherspoon

great pick!

Spoooooooon! Nicest dude you’ll meet too, but he’s an animal on the field

Good to hear
I think 3 picks have been made during this AB
Dez Bryant should've been the pick

Heyward had a great read on that ball.

Heyward had a great read on that ball.

So nice it should be said twice

Off to go eat

Have a good one, everybody… And make the offense score, please!

If the offense scores 4+ runs while you’re gone, you know we’re going to assume you’re the bad luck guy…

Why does it seem like each Philly sees 15 pitches or more?
156 pitches total so far

Moylan struggling a bit.

solid AB for Gload off the bench

ALL our pitchers tonight struggling.

damn it, gload... go away
DAMN YOU VICTORINO!!!
Bullpen

for the rest time this season = FAIL

EOF was good though

I hope you meant “first time”. Failing the rest of the season would suck…

Setting up perfectly for 8-6 final

But the scores are reversed!

I don't understand this team

how is it we go from riding such an incredible high 2 nights ago to playing some of the most uninspired baseball one can witness?

The wonders of Braves baseball.

Most of them need to have their eyes checked,

they don;t seem to be seeing the ball very well.

 I hope that the Phillies’ cars are all Toyotas. And Brian Jordan’s, too.

double grand-slam by heyward?

his count for double..

Once again our 2 run ceiling - hard to punch through.
Totally forgot about J Clausen

There’s a reason for that.

pretty funny too

B/c none of the teams coming up really need a QB. I mean maybe Miami, but who else would pick one here?

LOL @ the fail of ND QBs.

LOL @ the fail of ND QBs.

Well, we’re into the Phillies bullpen, which has a 36 ERA against us. So we should score 12 runs easy in 3 innings

Clausen, Tebow, and McCoy haven’t gone yet!

Horrible draft for QBs this year. Pike will be the best one, and even he won’t be a starter.

Next year is when you get your QB. That draft is going to be full of them.

Half way through the Draft and only 1 QB.

Ridiculously funny.

Am I the only person who likes Tim Tebow but isn't a Gator fan?

I like him ok. He just won’t be an NFL QB.

probably

he’s a major tool bag

Why? Because he does community service? Because he lives by his faith? Because he was a really good college QB?

I dislike both equally.

No…
Tebow’s awesome.

I admire him, and I'm not a Gator fan.

I feel like ppl are giving him shit for being a great College Football player. He will be a good QB in like 3 yrs. He is a work in progress. NFL ppl are doing a poor job in developing one of the most difficult positions in the sport. They expect miracles out of young men.

McLouth with a double!

…..
Now is not the time for jokes.

leave it to nasty nate

Fuck yeah, Nate. Too bad we don’t have anyone to drive you in.

Have ye of little faith...

Season’s over though…isn’t it?

Oh...right. I forgot. Sorry.

How dare you get my hopes up.

Nate heating up.

I think so, too.

Just need to convince Bobby to start playing Nate instead of Melky.

Nate plays instead of Melky every night.

Ummm.....no?

He didn’t tonight, did he?

’twas a suggestion

The regular lineup is Melky, Nate and Rookie.

Except when Diaz plays...

Then Melky gets put in for Nate. Thus, Melky is getting in more games than Nate.

That isn’t true. Diaz and Melky usually swap out. Tonight was just an off-night for Nate.

I could be wrong on this....

But it looks like Melky has started 13 games and Nate has started 10.

Nate got benched for a while though because of his hammy, remember?

Mistake..

14 for Melky. I forgot this is the 15th game of the season.

Uh, no. This is Melky’s 5th start in CF, Nate has 10.

Nate missed games bc of his hammy.

When?

At the start of the season.

No. He’s only not played in one game this season, and that was the Lincicum start in SF, when it was raining heavily.

In Justin’s defense, Nate did start out the season with a nagging hamstring. Yes, he’s appeared in more games as a pinch hitter….but he’s only started in 10 this season.

He’s appeared in games as a pinch hitter/defensive replacement when he didn’t start.

He’s been not starting all those games (except the rain game in SF) because Bobby has been moving Melky between LF and CF based on which hand the pitcher throws with and, effectively, platooning Nate and Diaz in the lineup.

That was my original argument.

I’m on your side. I was just pointing out that the hamstring thing was real the first couple games.

It was “real” in that he had hamstring concerns before the season, but it hasn’t been what’s kept him out of the lineup (other than the rain game in SF).

RALLY TIME!!!!

come on fellas….big inning!

Double for Nate

Double for Nate

Dang delay in posting – now it did it twice. UGH

Mine is doing this also :(

I was able to open up other threads/posts lickety-split.
??

Same here. duh

Double-post for a double. I like it!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha…….
 
The trap-loving Devils have been eliminated. Unfortunately, it was by the hack Flyers.

If we can come back from this I’ll drink an entire bottle of ketchup.

A man would have said mustard.

I’d have gone for worcestershire sauce….

Well I’m not a man. I may be the only woman on here…

Damn't Diaz!

Don’t swing at that!

K'in fool...
Lets go Pack

Full count for Prado….

GOOD JOB PRADO! SINGLE!
RALLY MOON CAFE!
it's Chipper time

shut Brian Jordan the f*&@ up!

he looks stretched out... must be that whirlpool

BIG bats coming up…LET’S DO THIS!!!

a HIT

but no run…please bring these guys in!!!!

come on Chipper…

  • in case you didn’t know I went back in time to the 90s. I’m staying here. Forever. And when the 90s become 2010, I’ll go back to the 90s. Easy.

Can you kiss that guy I knew back in 1997 for me while you’re there?

I was only 12. You should be ashamed of yourself!

Damn…didn’t expect that.

I’m full of surprises.

I’m not ashamed – I wasn’t 12 and he was more than.

Id rather not, NCC…

I totally understand. :-)

WOW 4 guys hitting under .175 in the lineup now. They have to get hot sometime soon.

6-63 leadoff hitters this year for us - gotta improve that.

I know. A grand canyon size hole in front of our hottest hitter.

walking to bmac??
GRANDSLAM MOON CAFE!
Let's go Phillies bullpen!

Bring the suck!

Bases loaded!
PLEASE BMAC PLEASE

Heap hitting with the bases juiced.

I hope they put that stupid shift on him and he goes to LF.

I'd just like to see something besides a DP

oppo sounds good right now.

ahhhhh uhhhhh auhhhhhhh

Heap, earn your keep as my P2C

I’m getting out the ketchup bottle.

Walk works!

With Glaus on deck…yes it does!

Did we get a hit? Watching the draft…

At least Mac made a productive out... :(

That would have been a nice time for Ibanez to suck it up out there.

GLAUS

for the jack! cmon baby

OT to the pack

Bulaga

Joe says 1 out the board says 2

There are 2. Diaz and Heap.

Dammit. I mean, yeah, the run scored, but shoot, Heap. Don’t tease me like that.

I can jjust imagine Chip “There’s a drive to DEEP lef field!”

sac fly...

i guess better than nothing

good eye, troy

Glaus swings and comes nowhere near hitting it....

Ball 4 Glaus…. come on…

Looked like a good pitch to me.

that was a strike

Epic fail, Troy. Epic fail.

He looked like he was trying to hit a 6 run homer.

He does that alot. Wonder if he ever cuts down on his swing, can’t really see him going the other way all that often.

Dang. Troy with 2 HUGE swings…and misses.

Glaus line for today

0-4 with 3Ks

Are we going to do this for every game? Heyward had a game with 3 Ks too.

idk what we are supposed to do?

YAY GLAUS WITH ANOTHER STRIKE OUT…I LOVE WATCHING THIS

Or, you could say something like “dang. I wish he would have hit that one. Next time, Troy…Next time.”

He had his chance to start hitting last week, it’s over for him this year!

Even though he was robbed of a HR last night, and hit a lazer to 3B tonight…

I don’t get these people at all.

But Glaus is OPSing .565

You could always have FUGA/Kotchman/Schafer trying to protect Mac. I’ll take Glaus

Kotchman has 3 HR this year with an 890 OPS, he’s better than Glaus duh

Well, the Dolphins will be on the clock soon… starting to hate the fact that their mascot has a ‘ph’ in the middle.

Glaus is good?

How?

he’ll be your hero by the end of the season

Question.

Our biggest problem last year was we did not have a big bat to hit btw Chipper and McCann. And we address that by getting Glaus. So why does it feel like we have that same problem this year?

Oh, because he could have had 20 RBI by now if he were hitting even .275.

’Cause he is hitting behind McCann?

Pardon if you have heard this yet but Freddie Freeman is no longer slumping: Slump Busted

Dude, those were both MONSTER shots. His 2nd hit half-way up the scoreboard in CF…must have gone 450+!

Yeah I never really understood why people questioned his power. He hit 19 as an 18 year old in the Sally, a notoriously pitching heavy league, and then flattened out in a fairly difficult environment but while still leading the league in doubles.

I got 2 balls signed by him today. It was a good day.

Also, Scott Proctor is an awesome person.

Hopefully

he crushes AAA pitching and can be up in june over glaus who sucks

You are an idiot.

I'm an idiot

for wanting our top prospect to crush AAA pitching and take over a veteran who doesn’t too good right now offensively or defensively, yeah sue me, you are the dumbass

No. You are an idiot for saying that Glaus sucks.

Maybe, Troy needs a different spot in the order?

Is he pressing too much with all these RBI opportunities and feeling the pressure?

just dont say heyward bats 5th...

or i’ll shoot you

Just want to say I’m pulling for him – honestly I am. He just looks “worried” at the plate.

i agree totally… he does, and sucks to see him frustrated. you know he’s repping it hard during batting practice

I want the Glaus in ST back! He really was good.
Not really feeling Jake Gyllenhal as Prince of Persia

that movie will be terrible

Double switch: Chavez pitching, Hinske at first.

bye...

going to watch some Suns basketball. Y’all have fun…

I believe BET is the brother network

Dez Bryant to Cowboys

that sounds about right

Bryant and Austin on the same field. I really hate the Boys now.

Cowboys picked Dez Bryant.

I bought Pete Van Weirens new book 2day. Has any1 else bought it?

Silent treatment…:(

Yes, someone else was talking about it on here the other day.

Chavez looking nasty.

I like this Chavez kid!

chavez

looking good, looks like wren knew what he was doing in that sori trade

What the hell was berman just doing now?
Can you people stop with the NFL draft discussion?

I blame you all for the Braves losing…

not enough

ZAGNUT!

worst. commercial. ever.

i just wanted to drop by and ask a question, I’m watchin the draft and gamecasting the braves game

do people still think Chavez is a bum and the second coming of Acosta?

bc he has been really good

looks good to me

He’s looked great so far.

OMG

Tebow on the phone — to the Broncos?

Thanks Mel

“Jimmy Clausen” is my #1 QB….and he drops below Tebow.

Kiper is a bigger idiot than people who think Glaus sucks.

To be fair, Josh McDaniels is insane

Wait...the Broncos unloaded their TE earlier this week

This makes sense now….

Tebow getting drafted by the Broncos? WHAT?

WAIT WHAT

he needs to consider how ridiculous he’ll look in a Broncs uniform.

Mr. Plural ERA is up pitching for the Phillies this inning.....time to score some runs?

Gee…I’ve never seen that happen before.

A LD right at someone? Nah.

Tebow will be a great TE/FB.

Well if he’s any good, McDaniels will be sure to trade him

I pity this ump’s wife if this is how he calls strikes.

Everytime he calls a strike, he sounds like a duck to me.

I wanna kill a potato.

Wow Mel Kiper....

just ripped into tebow… while tebow is watching him on TV

Well that was idiotic.
I just became a Broncos fan.

But he was actually truth-speaking.

All I know is that if TT wants to be a leader, he’d better not gather up the defensive players and try to pep-talk them.

This Braves team just sucks tonight.

Better luck tomorrow.

Wait....I thought the Philly BP sucked. ? ?
so did I...

:(

i hope we see madson

and we walk-off again

S Young calling out Kiper's J Clausen as best QB available
I feel for some of our fellow TC's that I know are at the game tonight.

It’s not been a fun one to watch thus far.

I hate it for the home fans at the game, seeing the Phillies take a series from us at home.

Yep, no fun going to these kind of games, imo.
Sooooooooo ESPN

what did Denver give up to get him?

We just got pwned by Danys fucking Baez, people. Does no one realize that?

Don't remind me :(
Looking ahead to slump busting on the Mets this weekend
Sweep of the Mets would go a long way to making everyone feel better.
No Johan either I believe

I don’t think Johan really scares anyone anymore.

He's not Halladay

but he’s still very solid…I’m quite happy to not face him.

We did – my comment about their BP above.

This is after getting pwned by Kyle Kendrick and Jamie Moyer. Par for the course

Can’t wait to see Maine do the same!

Long as it isn’t Perez

I missed it. I’m shocked Tim got picked ahead of Clausen and McCoy. Baez was pitching. What a great Fail by the Bravos.

Anybody notice Matt's new avatar - hilarious!
Yep, I like it!

Tebow talks like a 6 year old telling a story.

Well to be fair

this is probably one of the most exciting times of his life, and he’s at least getting coherent thoughts out. Most guys are like woooooooooooo yah I’m da best!

For every QB they talk about that makes it with an abnormal motion, I can show you a Byron Leftwich who can’t make it with an abnormal motion.

and to think

we would’ve been swept if not for the heroics in game one……

Please don't make me! :(

The game’s not over yet.

+ 1 for optimism

I like your style.

NOW it is, dammit.

As great of a QB as Steve Young was, I think he is an equally bad announcer/analyst.

As great of a QB as Steve Young was, I think he is an equally bad announcer/analyst.

i disagree with ur speech wholeheartedly, but i will fight to the death to defend you rright to speak it

He thinks Tebow will be a good NFL QB…I mean, really??? They guy can’t throw a tight spiral any better than my flag football QB.

Tebow was a GREAT college QB. So was Ryan Leaf.

As a running back maybe?

he actually throws the ball really well. trust me, im an amature tod mcshay.

his biggest problem is his offense, he never had to make full field reads, and rarely had to throw into tight spaces,

he would be great in INdy as a backup to Peyton learning that offense. that was where i thought he would end up.

he has a great mind and is relatively intelligent and if he can learn to make reads, and shorten his mechanics and get the ball out quicker he has a decent shot, bc he is a smart QB

but his arm is certainly not the problem, throwing a tight spiral is so meaningless for a QB its not even funny

It's official!

Chavez was our most effective pitcher tonight.

Chavez looked really impressive.

too bad he can't hit

EOF had a pretty huge strikeout, but yeah Chavez was real good

Posting on this thread is almost as frustrating as watching this dang game.

The first one wasn’t near this bad.

that's a start!

Somehow Hinske was able to sneak a line drive passed someone!

Lets rip this guy, .435 BAA

Really, Matt? REALLY???

hinske

needs to start

1 pitch vidro took care of that.

Bobbled!

Phuck the Phillies’ defense tonight…

9th inning 2out magic...

bobble that shit

Wheeee.....Chipper with a hit!
2 on for HEAP!

Why wouldn’t Johan scare anyone? He’s hardly some washed up bum. Still a terrific SP.

Heap will walk and Glaus will strikeout….any takers?

Fail

Glaus outta the game

Maybe pay attention to the game a little more instead of trying to crack wise?

Fail.

Glaus was taken out awhile ago

OLD MAN…warming up too.

This inning looks alot better without everyone’s favorite LF’s 1 pitch GIDP.

If Heap gets on.....all we got left is Conrad!

Come on McCann….

Hell..might as well walk mccann to get to conrad

Heap teasing me again.

The misery ends.

This is certainly a revolting development

What scrub pitcher will shut us down tomarrow?

I said it a little further up…John Maine.

DLowe lost his magic :(

maybe it will transfer to everyone else now…

I'd take this...

Our other pitchers can actually keep games close (mostly).

That’d be awesome

Our offense = this cat

Bless it's heart, and ours...
Well, that's it for me. 5:00 alarm and it's late.

Let’s go into NY mad as hell and play like we’re capable of.
Make THEM feel like we do these past 2 nights.

Sounds like a plan!
CRAP

I know why we lost…
NO PUPPY

I wouldn’t trust Lowe with a puppy

We'll get you next time, Phillies, next time

does this mean we’re never gonna beat them?

Now all those Phillies fans are going to flood the Yahoo recap. Bleh.
