Amaro loves the Nix brothers sandwich; It's full of promise but never delivers.

How are they not fucking broadcasting the game? Probably T-Mac, Davis, and Stairs are too busy washing each others' feet (or balls)

 

[Omar 382]

Here we go Phillies, here we go

 

[Omar 382]

Murph should be the permanent play-by-play guy

 

[Omar 382]

Oberholtzer is Garbage!

 

[Frizzle]

good for them to get the losses out of the way early.

Either other teams are trying or we are going to hit their mid summer form early.

 

[Omar 382]

This is BS. The Yankees clearly made child sacrifices to Ra in the clubhouse so the Phillies wouldn't come back from this game. Fucking pussies

 

[Omar 382]

What the hell is up with this team

 

[Retroram52]

Looks as though the Phillies are taking the day off while showing for a baseball game. Or is the real Phillies we all know and...? Well, we shall see.

 

[Omar 382]

Here comes the Big Piece. We've got this one in the bag

 

[Omar 382]

This guy is the definition of clutch. What a gamer!

 

[Omar 382]

Game of the century

 

[Retroram52]

I suppose they all woke up in the eighth. Not sure what to think of this pattern.

 

[Omar 382]

Probably a sign of things to come Retro. It appears Klentak's brain chemistry has not been permanantly altered for the worst.

 

[northeastphillyguy]

I love Blanco. He is clutch. He hit a grand slam today. Goooooooooooooooo Andre!

 

[Retroram52]

Klentak is slowly proving that he has definitely not followed in the footsteps of braindead. Hopefully this translates to consistent play on the field that we have seen in spring training with a potential explosive offensive team and a decent fielding club. The remaining piece to the puzzle is whether the pitching is going to come together as perhaps Klentak envisioned it. We shall see if the Phillies this year have turned the proverbial corner that a really good rebuilding plan achieves.

Pitching is the bigger question mark this season. We do not have a true closer. Overall I will be watching to
see if this team has heart. I am looking forward to the battle of players seeking playing time. The comeback win
on Weds offered a glimpse of hope!

 

[powerchord86]

Might be a rough ride this season yous guise but I'm looking forward to seeing a scrappy team come out swinging. The closer situation is unfortunate but probably not the biggest concern right now. This time next year things could be looking much more optimistic than the current state. Either way, Lets Go Phils!

 

[Retroram52]

I agree Northeast and Powerchord86. Any sign of progress will be a good thing as the rebuild continues forward hopefully.

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Phillies trail the orioles 6-3. Bottom of the 6th. Nola goes 3 strong innings, srikes out 5. Franco hit homerun number 9. Howard hit his 3rd homer.
