Only lead marlins had the entire series. Dang. Tough to win when you make 3 errors.
Braves win tomorrow they enter weekend only 2.5 back.
3 errors and 3 minor league pitchers. baez is horrible and can we please get him a cup that fits correctly. my god the man adjusts after every pitch. wathcing him do that and totally sucking as a pitcher is disturbing. brown is a disaster waiting to happen in the outfield right now. i just pray he doesn't barrel through and hurt utley, howard or victorino anytime soon. he has come close enough already.
really looking forward to the Braves series. should be some fun intense baseball. can't really blame the Phils to much for the Braves getting it down to 3 (and possibly 2.5) at this point. Braves have been flat out awesome the past 3 weeks. got to give the Phils the pitching edge though, thanks for not giving us Jurrjens or Hudson.
Don't sleep on beachy. Dude is a different pitcher now than the one they have seen in the past. I have watched his last few starts...he's been real good, gassing dudes

I know Beachy is much better than what he's done vs. the Phillies. Still beats going vs. Jurrgens.

Rox announcers just said that "Phillies defense is much better than the Braves." They must not have seen the lowlights from last night. Although Utley is obviously massively superior to Uggla in those regards.

I have been listening to the braves broadcast. Not too bad, homers but pretty funny and do a pretty good job.

His son does their TV games. forget his first name, the guy that TBS fired because he made so many mistakes in the playoffs a couple years ago. He's terrible too. The Carays sound like game show hosts. Annoying
I like the Rox TV guys a lot.
I think the braves staying close to the phils could be the best thing to happen. Hopefully this forces amaro to upgrade the bullpen and lineup.

Braves playing great baseball right now. two best teams in the league by far at this point. just keep winning and keep the rest of the league out the wild card chase. any word on victorino being available this weekend?

agree 100% on Polanco. backs are a bad problem to have. sit him as long as you can get away with it.

I think they're all related to the late great, Harry
yeah i am with on the phils being in a dog fight like last year (until the end). like johnny said though, phils are still up like 7 games or something for the wildcard. i want the division again though.
Hopefully the phils can afford to lock hamels up long term. also need to sign rollins and madson. and find a LF that doesn't suck.
give oswalt the deuce. also have ibanez (thank god) and lidge coming off the payroll. gonna be tough for the phils to keep all of these guys. I think madson is gone. This is when howard's contract starts to be become a problem. Dude just isn't worth close to 25 mill per season.
Dude just isn't worth close to 25 mill per season.
Agreed. I think everyone agrees, actually. But he is still the key to this lineup. Even when he's slumping you see managers pitching around him. Other teams in the division stock up on LOOGY's to get him out, probably costing them the chance at having more durable middle relievers. I just don't think it's the same team without him.
They should save money by having a home-grown bullpen - it's proven to be a waste of money to sign expensive relief pitchers (ask the Mets & Yankees). As for LF, it really shouldn't be that hard to find one.
Yeah, I'm wondering WTF they're doing with Hamels - the time to extend him is now. I don't know what else the guy has to do. With Hamels, Lee & Doc healthy for a few years, this team will be perennial contenders no matter how bad their offense gets.

don't forget baez and blanton come off the payroll after this year as well which is about another $10 million.
maybe Hamels doesn't want to be extended just yet? he could be waiting to see what Sabathia does with his opt-out. Either way I think they get a deal done with Hamels for sure.
Madson is as good as gone. Boras is gong to get some schmuck team to give him a ridiculous contract like he did with werth. i love madson out there but no way i'd pay him what Boras is going to command. Phils will sign or trade for a closer and have Bastardo and Stutes as their setup men for the next few years.
Rollins is the interesting one. I go back and forth on him. there aren't a lot of viable candidates to replace him but overpaying and too many years for him could be a disaster down the line. i think he will end up back here but will be a real interesting deal if he tries to hold out for a big contract and a lot of years.
I think Blanton is signed for one more year. :roll:

It's all good. The :roll: was directed at the contract, not you, in case you were wondering. He would be a good 3rd starter... for the Royals.

those fuckers are due for a loss.
headed down for friday night's game. phils have crushed beachey. big series. got the 3 aces lined up.
they had a big one at the exact same time last year too. i think they swept the reds right before the break...
3 errors and 3 minor league pitchers. baez is horrible and can we please get him a cup that fits correctly. my god the man adjusts after every pitch. wathcing him do that and totally sucking as a pitcher is disturbing. brown is a disaster waiting to happen in the outfield right now. i just pray he doesn't barrel through and hurt utley, howard or victorino anytime soon. he has come close enough already.
really looking forward to the Braves series. should be some fun intense baseball. can't really blame the Phils to much for the Braves getting it down to 3 (and possibly 2.5) at this point. Braves have been flat out awesome the past 3 weeks. got to give the Phils the pitching edge though, thanks for not giving us Jurrjens or Hudson.
