    I was hoping someone wouldn't post something like this. volstad was a sacrificial lamb tonight because there are 3 games in the next 48 hours and the marlins have no pitchers available (they still haven't named a starter for tomorrow).

    let's not get carried away. the lineup still stinks

    ah the joy of victory and the agony of reading the Fixer try to put it down. gotta love trashing the team with the best record in baseball. negadelphia personified.

    I must say, and this is coming from a guy who usually blocks pjhawks's comments - Fixer, you gotta admit, there is a lot of irony in that: You seemingly not being able to stand Philly fans as a whole, but coming off as the most prime example. ;):mrgreen: C'moooon, that's funny.

    Fixer, I love ya man, but come on.

    Leaving Hamels in in the 8th was completely reasonable. He was dealing. And the bullpen almost blew a 7-run game this weekend.

    I'm glad Howard made his first error of the season in a blowout. After setting the tone with an oppo-boppo in the 1st inning. (now he's gonna talk about the ballpark I bet :lol: )

    It's a long season, and a big key is beating up on bad teams, and keeping slumping teams in slumps. We've seen plenty of times that a "sacrificial lamb" (Volstad is a regular member of their rotation) dominated the Phillies lineup, so I'm glad they took care of business.

    25-12 at home; 16-14 on road. This team is surprisingly homer-ish this year. Interesting, considering their "offesnsive" ballpark, that their pitchers seem to prefer pitching at home.

    Ok, give me a better one, so I don't have to type out "opposite field home run."

    i only dislike "opp boppo" because it originated from brett myers a few years ago. i thought it sounded stupid then...but then mccarthy started utilizing it with his home run calls and it sounded even worse.



    but it's always a good sign to see the r6 drive balls out to left....

    You mean you're not?

    Does anyone here by any chance of any connections in the military for military honors at a funeral? Let me just say, dealing with anything government-related is a fucking shit show. Trying to get military honors at my grandfather's funeral and we need his discharge papers, which he misplaced, and I've been trying to fax the request for a new one and am getting no where fast.

    Well, Brett Myers & Tom McCarthy might be douchebags but I still like oppo-boppo, and you never gave me a replacement term. Sorry dude. :P I'll switch to whatever nifty term you come up with promptly. ;)

    big difference between being negative and realistic

    I wish I could just be a cheerleader like some others here and always think everything is great.
