    Phillies announcers are the absolute worst. I say this every time I watch them.

    there it is gentlemen!

    nobody else wants to step up, we might as well be the team to do it.

    gotta take one of the next two.


    GO. PHILS.

    that is fraud behavior.

    Padres offense sucks. Lidge is a giant pu--- - hard to watch him. No way Charlie should have taken Oswalt out. They weren't scoring against him in any way. I think he only had 101 pitches at that point? should have left him out there. good to see the big boys come through with some big hits.

    It was an absolutely horrendous managerial decision to take Oswalt out. You have a stud pitcher smelling the finish line in the middle of a pennant race, you let him finish it.

    That "high fast ball" on the 0-2 count that hit Schumacher was such a stupid idea. Lidge doesn't have a high fastball. Throw the damn slider - that's your out pitch. He wasn't gonna hit it.

    I gave up on staying up after the 9th too. Nice to pull out the win at least.

    I have Atlanta winning 17 games the rest of the way with Philly winning 22. That puts us at 92 wins and ATL at 90. Boom. IF YOU WILL IT, IT IS NO DREAM.

    ALSO, I probably won't be back on here until Sunday night. So.....if there's one thing, other than the above, to take from me is to get your asses to Penn's Landing on Sunday for MMJ. It will be the tits. No lie.

    I hope you guys are right with these playoff predictions.

    Enjoy the concert...I'm never drinking again

    Did everyone see The R6's awesome 3-6-3 double play? Now that looked like a major league first baseman! I'm so proud.

    Great to see our vaunted lineup blast this upstart pitcher here... :?

    Oh yeah, what is that LF fence, 6'6"? The Aladdin Bail Bonds ad is a nice touch too. I'm sorry, that ballpark is garbage. I was there, and it's easily the ugliest of the newer ballparks I've seen. Just a big pile of ugly concrete.

    ha. I remember three things from the game last night. howards throw, manuel intentionally walking the go ahead run with a one run lead, and lidge's balk

    SD is on my list of parks to see. I was there for work last summer and the pads were on the road (the gaslamp district is GREAT). disappointing to hear that petco isn't nice, I think it looks awesome on TV. SD and SF are the two parks I really want to visit.

    I'd vote fenway as the most overrated piece of shit stadium in all of sports. oh wow, look at the big green wall. great, the rest of the stadium blows

    join the club brotha. your opinion is pretty much the consensus.

    funny thing is that every phillies fan I know feels the same way. how can the phils organization be so oblivious to the fact that their entire fan base despises their broadcast? It boggles my mind that chris wheeler has had a job with this team for 30+ years. I don't know one phillies fan that likes that dude even a little bit. doesn't make sense.

    to be fair, everyone I know loves franzke and LA on the radio. they are fantastic. the complete opposite of the TV team

    keeping my fingers crossed that mark grace isn't involved with the fox broadcast today. since he's based in Arizona and the phils are on the west coast I think we're fucked. grace is the absolute worst, he makes tim mccarver sound great

    not when you pound a solid 15 beers for a preseason game.

    STL plays 7 games against pitt and DC this week. they should make up some ground. phils need to win their division

    Cards will go 3-4 in these 7 games. Take a look at their road record and Pitt's & Wash's home records.

    But they have pedro feliz now!!

    seriously, I think they go 5-2. They aren't playing well, but now is when they'll turn it on. Nats lost strasburg and willingham this week. 2 huge losses for them.

    Cards are 2-4 so far, and losing 4-0 thru 3 1/2 innings. Maybe I gave them too much credit. I like being right. :D

    Cole Hamels in his home town - I like our chances today.
