    Nice. That was fucking nasty. Ruiz = best defensive catcher in the NL. By far. A shame that doesn't get you an all-star nod.

    I gotta say, I haven't liked Utley's pitch selection since he's been back. But he's got time. This is like Spring Training.

    I hate to say it, but he might be more of a 2 than 3 hitter at this point. I'm not ready to fully admit that yet, but it's crossed my mind.

    Yeah, I hear ya. I believe the power is still there, but he's been swinging at too many front door pitches that have been fooling him. Plus, I'm seeing some of the power, but not that full torque swing where he drives a left handed pitcher's fastball inside way out of the park.

    haven't heard anything about this dude, but this is great to see.

    27.2 IP, 2.60 ERA, 8 BB, 36 Ks, 1.05 WHIP

    I'd love for the phils to copy what the braves did with their bullpen. go with young beasts instead of overpaying for free agent relievers.

    I honestly think that's what they would hope to do, but no one's been stepping up. Hopefully this continue and we get Bastardo, De Fratus, Stutes, Aumont, Ramirez(I believe he was still doing real well), and Madson.

    EDIT: Actually, Ramirez has been starting, and last I heard scouts thought he has a legit chance at a #5 role in this rotation.

    Yeah, I think you're right about ramirez. apparently he had hip surgery in the offseason. supposed to be a tough kid as he pitched through the pain last year...and his numbers suffered

    this is random, but any of you guys been folllowing this casey/kylie anthony story? the wife is big on these news shows like 20/20 and dateline, so I get to see quite a bit of this stuff. anyway, 20/20 is on abc now. story is pretty crazy...and really fucked up

    Dude, my aunt, and numerous other women I know, are OBSESSED with that shit. But once I read and watched some of it, I can see why.

    From the last I heard - this is what I've come to theorize. This chick Casey - whom has massive bombs - killed her kid, the parents found out about it afterwards, now the parents can't stand the anguish and are stuck between confessing that their daughter killed their granddaughter and trying to hold back from doing so. Pretty crazy. I don't know, the last time I heard anything was like a week ago so I'm sure new shit has come to light. And Nancy Grace is a human version of a hospital fridge box. Ice cold and sterile.

    yeah, that's how I understand the story too. to add to that, there is speculation that the parents helped her ditch the body. there is some kind of trial that started this week. I wasn't really paying attention to what's on TV

    fucked up story though. adorable kid.

    and yes, huge cannons

    yeah, some of these shows drag shit out for an hour or two when they could summarize things in 10 minutes. I don't mind most of the shows. could be worse I guess, she could be into american idol or dancing with stars

    Only fuckin' Romero. Time to cut ties with this dude. He definitely isn't making the playoff roster - again, IF they make it.

    Seriously, seriously, seriously - I'm 6 drinks deep on Goose & Iced Tea and don't want any stress. Gay.

    He really does blow.

    PP nailed it...romero is all over the place when he comes in. he lobs a beach ball down the middle and does that stupid head turn and 'oh my gosh, how'd he smoke that ball' every time he doesn't walk someone.

    so yeah, he um, blows

    Yeah...not only does he stink he's a phuckin tool

    They have to cut their ties with this guy
    My drinking team has a hockey problem

    The ONLY thing better than a glass of beer is tea with Miss McGill

    gotta be one of the quietest openings of restaurant/bar i've ever seen. my wife's sister's boyfriend asked me about it at the phils game. had no idea what he was talking about. website says they open on 6/30 but apparently they opened earlier. we're hoping to check it out tonight.

    and yeah, i've been hearing about this gordon guy at lehigh....any chance they call him up?
