10 hits and 2 fucking runs. can't wait for the pen to blow this one. this has 'loss they should have won' written all over it
Ha, I'd call it a win that had loss written all over it. Nice to see a makeup call from that Greg Dobbs "foul ball" HR last year. I was arguing with stupid Red Sox fans at the park the next day about that. Not that the Marlins had anything to do with it, but that's how it goes.
Romero is horrible. Somebody take him to the GNC.
and don't forget the Utley homer in Washington that hit the foul pole and was called foul in september that one year - jeez what year was that? might have been 2007? was back in RFK for sure.

I was thinking about the utley non-hr last night too. of course wheels mentioned the dobbs thing 1,842 times and didn't say anything about the utley play.
The 7-9th innings really pissed me off. This team makes way too many mental mistakes (a MLB team should NEVER make 3 outs on the bases in one inning -- this is a reflection of the manager). And the manager is still an idiot. Strategically, he has to be one of the worst 5 managers in baseball.

Still can't believe they won. Lucky as hell.
agree - i wanted to shoot Werth when he got picked off. Werth needs to sit for a few days (if that is even possible with this lineup) - he looks mentally gone. i think he is down in the count 0-2 every at-bat.
swept the series because of chooch and the marlins pathetic defense. Uggla should give money back for his defense - man you think Howard is bad defensively - Uggla missed at least 3 routine plays in this series. Even the one line drive last night he caught should have been a double play but he messed that up to.

gload has made 3 or 4 plays this week that there is no way in hell howard makes
werth should have caught that ball in CF too. he's awful in center.
gotta take 2 of 3 this weekend. hamels and halladay both going, which is nice. of course I'm going tonight and I get to see blanton.

agree Werth should have caught that one. he is not a centerfielder though - can play it in a pinch but surely not an everyday one.
and can you tell me how Greg Dobbs is still in the majors? he can't hit a lick and is actually a worse fielder than hitter. not sure what he brings to this team at all. I'd rather have Ransom - at least he can play a bit of 3rd base. having Dobbs at 3rd is a disaster.

dobbs is terrible. he saw 7 pitches last night and struck out twice.
good question...assuming victorino comes back in the next 7-10 days, who do they release/send down? schneider, sweeney, francisco, valdez I'd think are pretty safe. That leaves dobbs and brown. I'd rather have brown up, but if he isn't gonna play I can understand why they'd send him down until the rosters expand in september. should be interesting
Hey guys, hate to interrupt the flow here, but just to let you know, the American Red Cross is having a blood drive at the park on Saturday, August 14. If you donate, you get to take pictures with the World Series and NL East Conference championship trophy. You also get a tour of the park and a Chase Utley t-shirt.
I’m a volunteer and will be there. Hope to see some of you there! Call 1-800-GiveLife to schedule an appointment.

Mayberry is still on the roster isn't he? Ransom was designated for assignment for Sweeney. So I think Mayberry goes when Victorino comes back. Brown is here for good - no way then can send him out.

Definitely let me know. I am a good baseball fan in general (at least I think so, someone whos name starts with pj and ends with hawks would probably disagree though). For Petes Sake is a great spot too.
Interesting, may have to consider it then. Thanks for the heads up.

me my bro and his wife watched game 2 at a bar down there .. we were rooting for the yanks obviously ... no problems
I didn't have any problems that whole week. A little bit of shit talking here and there but nothing bad. I saw some Yanks fans acting like dipshits getting into some shit but I didn't have any problems.

Yeah, there really were no problems. Only problem I had was waiting for my dad outside the Mike Schmidt statue to go into the game before game 5, and some Yankee douche was humping the statue. Well, I couldn't take it, told him to beat it and that nothing was being clinched at least in our house.
