Yeah, not a good combination to win games

:(

No real way to turn this thing around with an un-healthy Chase and Howard not being nearly 100% when he comes back

Not gonna happen. Problem with the way the roster is constructed for 2012 is that there really isn't anywhere to put a trade acquisition. LF is really the only spot and you don't trade a stud SP for a LFer.

I'd trade worley or kendrick in a heartbeat, but I don't think either brings much in return

ahh i love the philly fan base. only in philly do we fully expect a poor start and a lousy offense...and yet full scale panic sets in when we get off to a poor start with a lousy offense. :roll:

relax people. it's a loooonnnngggg season. the pitching will even it out in the long run. stay around .500 and make a run in the 2nd half. at least the dopes in the fan base will start to appeciate ryan howard.

yeah, everyone should be as knowledgeable as you. you have proven here time and again how stellar your baseball acumen is.

you are a gem

this team needs a lot more than ryan howard. sure he's better than the crap they have been rolling out at 1B, but he's not solving all of this team's issues (the usual culprits...lineup, manager, bullpen).

Actually having howard back makes this lineup better in a hurry. Here's what i would do if and when he's back.
Shane
Polly
JRoll
Howard
Pence
Mayberry
Chooch
Galvis
or
Jroll
polly
Pence
Howard
Vict
Mayberry
Chooch
Galvis'

show me one team in baseball that doesn't have issues or questions.

this is still the best starting rotation in baseball, and it's not really all that close. it's 4 games. relax. top 3 in rotation stay healthy it's still a playoff team. barring catastropic injuries to the rotation this team isn't going below 88-90 wins it will take to make at least a wild card birth. although i'd still bet phils win the division.

The Fixer

no assurance that howard is going to be productive when he does come back.

also, polanco should not be hitting higher than 7th in a decent lineup.

and manuel will continue to force feed us juan pierre, which doesn't help things

we'll see what happens. I'm not in full panic mode yet. It's just annoying...this team has had the same issues for 3 years now. rahter than fix them amaro has continued to compound them. and the manager is lost now that he doesn't have a team full of HR hitters and he actually has to manage a game.

their schedule is easy to start off the year. hopefully they can stay afloat until they get utley and howard back

Phantom Pain

That's the problem even with Howard this team couldn't hit

Plus the injury he's not himself

Polanco is done and Utley isn't far behind

bingo.

you would think after the last 3 years that people would realize that howard isn't an elite player anymore. sure he's better than the crap they're currently running out there, but those expecting him to be a savior are kidding themselves. he's just not that good

they really need dom brown to get his shit together and get back on track in AAA. He's the kind of guy who could really help this team

yeah, good luck with that.

sucks when your team falls behind 1-0 in the 2nd and you feel like the game is over.

thanks amaro

Bizarre
On August 17,1957 CF Richie Ashburn of the Phillies hit fan Alice Roth twice with foul balls during the same at bat. :shock:
The first foul broke her nose, and then Ashburn lined a second ball into her as she was being carried off on a stretcher. :wtf:

And how about Galvis finally coming through in a scoring position? This is the best inning I think the Phils have had since mid-2010
