    watching on gamecast. i'm assuming this all young clifton will need to complete the sweep today.

    this team is on fire...i'm a little worried about seattle. hectic schedule the last few days. going all the way out west. they're gonna be dead tired. facing some good pitching. stupid interleague always gets us. i can see seattle taking 2 out of 3. be nice to hold for 7 straight today though...

    OPPO-FUCKING-BOPPO!!! :lol:

    Yeah, I have bad feelings about the Seattle series. So, with playing the Cardinals next week, do the Phils have one less interleague series? This interleague stuff is so fucked up. When was the last time we played at Baltimore? :roll:

    i hate interleague almost as much as i hate the dh...but not quite as much as i hate having an exhibition game determine home field advantage in the world series.

    5.5 game lead in division in mid june. given all our offensive struggles this year, that is phenomenal.

    I think an underrated story of 2011 is that Cliff Lee is a completely different pitcher than we saw here in 2009 or even last year. He has become a power, strikeout pitcher with nasty stuff. I think some of the struggles he's had have to do with him adjusting to whatever is coming from his arm.

    agree and very nice to see. nice little breathing room in case the inevitable interleague meltdown happens.

    does charlie DH Chase this weekend or mix and match? haven't seen the pitching matchups so not sure what we are facing. late friday and saturday night games kind of suck anyways.

    That's what Larry Anderson told me. The bloody sock was fake too.

    I don't agree with this. He's not throwing as hard as he has in the past. His K's are up, but I think that is attributed to more time in the NL than he's had since he was traded by montreal. I expect his K levels to come down to earth at some point. He's still more of a control guy than strikeout guy in my opinion (or a hybrid of the two I guess...I just wouldn't call him a power pitcher).

    I missed the game today, but I see he only had 4 K's. K's are always good, but as long as he's getting people out it doesn't matter. He's been inconsistent this year, so hopefully there are more performances like today coming (lower K totals usually mean lower pitch counts, which means less of the bullpen, which is really good for this team).

    Love the late games the next 2 nights with Pineda and King Felix going. and I wish every sunday game started at 4.

    totally agree about the late sunday game. i usually end up listening to most of those 1pm games since i'm out running around during the day. 4pm on sunday is perfect.

    yeah, 4:00 start gives you plenty of time to get shit done during the day. Then fire up the grill and have a few beers during the game. Perfect.

    I know what I'm doing on sunday :D

    saturday should be a good time at the juggler's abode. we're having my family over for a lil bbq...followed by me and my brothers and a couple friends throwing back some pops at my place or a local watering hole for the 10pm phils game. :thumbup:

    Nice. Sounds fun.

    The Fixer sold his EV tix for the Hartford show. My summer tour is taking me to NYC tomorrow to hang with a buddy from college. He just broke up with his gf of 3.5 years, so I'm sure it's gonna get ugly.

    Just bought tix for the philly show next week. Looked in my order history on one of those bad sites and saw game 7 NLCS tix in there. Not good times...totally forgot about that attempted purchase.

    yeah. prices haven't really moved much. I got orch row J for $140. More than I wanted to spend, but I had been watching and prices weren't dropping like I expected. A week ago there were 220 tix listed for sale and now there are 34. Only one philly show + saturday night = ridiculous prices. Will be the only show I see this time around, so I figured what the hell. Hopefully he forgets he has a new album out when he creates the setlist
