Cole's era is 4.45 so I don't think he should be stewing too much about the offense. 4.45 is not close to being good enough for a #1 starter.
well he's clearly not pitching the way he should. but the high era is based off of 3 bad starts. it's not like he's been bad every time out. in his other 7, he has not allowed more than 3 earned runs. he's been good in 7 starts and has 1 win to show for it. he's got a right to stew.
that said, need more consistency out of him...obviously.
yeah, when I said before the season that they had no margin for error/injuries, even I didn't think it was this slim.
they need to put pat gillick's facial profile on one of those batman projectile lights and shine that thing over the city skyline 24/7 until he returns.

Everything had to go right for this team to have a chance but look at all that has happened and there still not that far out. I can't imagine the braves and Nats continuing at this pace. Both of those teams will have hot stretches, but can we? History says yes but I'm not feeling it. Amaro has done a pretty rough job. The fact they went into the year with this outfield is beyond me. The "approach" at the plate is dreadful...welcome to the 2010 playoffs Amaro wtf?!? I was okay with holding on to this core for 11, 12 and this year but this year has to be it. We need new blood. Just wait and see attendance in aug/sep when were 15 out. Sorry rant over
actually most of us have them winning about the same amount of games as you (80-84).
I also said I thought they'd struggle to finish .500 (your favorite number). some said they would win 88. and that first place atlanta was most overrated team in division.
but as we know, it's better off to ignore the nonsense that dude throws around
no howard today. thank god. I think hamels goes 8 or 9...allows 2 or less. with this lineup, probably still won't be enough. really looking forward to this game...could be done in two hours with these beasts pitching

actually I said 85-88 but we know how you don't like facts. I stand by my prediction. didn't realize the season was over in 50 games. crown the braves the champs now.

jearlpam said 89 wins, i believe. you wanna insult him too? :roll:
i think you just have a hard time agreeing with people. because most everyone in here recognizes that this is a deeply flawed, mediocre baseball team who will most likely teeter around .500 for the whole season, or until the big sell off happens. mid 80's win total is about what most people said in spring training. big deal.

anyone see this steve carlton piece on deadspin? its from the 1994 philly mag article on him prior to the hof induction. talks about all his....weirdness. pretty amazing article. i'm not old enough to remember much of his time here. didn't realize he wasn't open to picking up a new pitch after he lost some steam off his fast ball. and i knew he was weird...but, wow, this article goes pretty deep into his life.

I had the 11th and 12th picks in my fantasy baseball draft. Took Hamels 11th, thought about taking Lee 12th but didn't want to put too much pressure on this shitty Phillies line-up to get me wins, so I went with Johnny Cueto instead. Lee has 240 points so far this year. Hamels and Cueto have combined for 206. Dammit to hell.

I never take a pitcher before round 5. first one I took this year...yu darvish. yes, first place
Their baseball program is a great story. Keep winning boys. It's nice to be a fan of a baseball team that's worth a damn (unlike the mlb team I support)

Also, NYC is the best place on earth. Love it
Scoring in my league puts so much emphasis on pitchers though. And my line up is actually among the best in my league and my staff isn't all that bad. It's just Hamels. He's the turd in the punch bowl.
hey boys....matt cain has me thinking of cole hamels....seems there's no one you can trust with a big contract :x

Funny to think that some here had them winning close to 90 games.

unfathomable they would bring this turd back up.

bummer, I was into reading it.
it's just because of website. deadspin is blocked at my work sometimes too. definitely check it out later.

Good thing the throw went into CF on his 5th steal(advanced to 3rd), or it would've been 6>
