    howard getting kicked out of this game gives the phils a shot. best thing he could have done. I don't know what he was so mad about...he clearly swung at that 2nd strike.

    wheels is taking dumb to a whole new level tonight. says the astros might walk howard with first base open, even though howard had a 1-2 count...and howard couldn't hit a watermelon right now. ridiculous

    oh the agony of listening to The Fixer's ridiculous rants after a defeat.
    get your blinders off. no way the 3rd strike was a swing. that ump should be punched in the face.
    .


    i missed that post. but when watching the game i thought i would see something stupid like that on here. funny that ibanez muffed that catch at first on the double play a couple innings later ...and then utley gets intentionally walked because oswalt was on deck in the bottom of the 16th. thank god howard got ejected. :roll: :lol:

    he clearly hates more than just the contract.

    I thought howard was still at first when that throw was dropped. same difference

    the problem with this is that the rest of the NL is considerably better than it has been the last 3 years. I don't understand why all phillies fans are just assuming this team is gonna flip a switch and start winning MORE than they have been for the last few series, then get in the playoffs.

    they have blown numerous opportunities to cut into the braves lead. the braves aren't going away

    that howard performance last night still has me laughing. I haven't seen a 'star' philly athlete perform that terribly in a long time.

    the brewers, nationals, marlins and mets are who we play in september other than the two braves series. we got this.

    i think we should all pitch in get fixer an authentic howard jersey.

    nope, just same result. at least oswalt fouled a couple of pitches off. howard might as well gone up there with a fungo bat last night

    26 would not have been intentionally walked.

    I think he already has a Howard jersey.

    This just in, Jeags - we have had problems with Washington and Florida this year.

    problem is, look who the other teams they're chasing play. the phils have the toughest schedule of the teams they're chasing (STL, CIN, ATL).

    I honestly don't think they're getting in. what pisses me off is that this team seems to play with a sense of entitlement. in 2007 they were completely different..much hungrier. funny thing is that the 2007 team had half the talent, but was MUCH MUCH more fun to watch

    he probably would have. I would have intentionally walked pedro feliz to get to howard last night

    I just don't think it's their year. You can kind of get the feel for a baseball team after watching them for 5 months and I just don't think this team has 'it' this year. too inconsistent, too many injuries, no one having a career year (maybe chooch), dumb manager, bandwagon fans, etc.

    the season isn't over, but I'm not optimistic. the braves seem to be the ones having 'their year'

    worst part of this is that as much as werth pisses me off with his stupid mistakes, this team won't be as good in 2011 without him and without the payroll flexibility to improve in the offseason.

    they are blowing their best chance to win their 2nd WS

    Eh. I don't believe in this "their year" thing as being the X factor. This lineup hasn't even played 10 games together. As long as this division lead doesn't get out of hand, then it's going to be a chaotic September. I'll just be pissed if I'm not drinking beers outside The Bank in October.

    ATL's winning at a .700 clip. They can't sustain that for much longer. I get their pitching, I really do. A lot will matter on what happens on this west coast trip coming up.

    Good news for you - your boy isn't in the lineup tonight.

    cards lost to pittsburgh last night and lost series' to the cubs and brewers in the last two weeks.
    and atlanta has essentially the same schedule as we do.

    people need to relax. september's gonna be a fun ride.

    And give credit where credit is due, Fixer. That crowd was pretty much 2/3 still there 5 hours after that game started. It is why we're the sweetest fucking peeps in sports.

    Not to mention the cheer for Oswalt's put-out, and the "Let's go Oswalt" chant. And if you're not a fan of this stuff, then get out of my city.

    Think about the shit atlanta's had going on this year...cox's last year, heyward's callup and injection of life into their aging clubhouse, hudson's bounce back year, wagner's swan song, prado's emergence, D-Lee coming over in what is probably his last shot to go to the playoffs as a starter, etc.

    then compare that to what the phils have endured...injuries, underachieving stars, and a general player disinterest - save for a few guys.

    hopefully howard reinjured his ankle trying to blame the umps for his suckitude. I want gload back.

    I want my R.G.

    say what you want...I'm right about baseball related stuff a lot more than I'm wrong.

    ryan howard just isn't that good of a player. you can hate me for thinking that if you want, that's your prerogative. Just watch the games, it's obvious
