Final out, but this team has no surrender

 

[Omar 382]

No way Ruth would have legged that out. '16 Phils>'27 Yanks

 

[Cedrique]

To quote Roberto Duran - "No Mas"

Damn, we lost. I had guaranteed a sweep but the trade crossed me up. Vinnie will take care of it tomorrow. Cut Ruf, please.

This loss is part of the problem. The Phillies have not learned to beat the teams they should beat like Atlanta. Seriously? 5-1 to the Braves? Just a couple of weeks ago we had a winning April and we were playing the Nats and Mets tough.

The Braves had the best pitching today. Also the Phillies can not keep their current winning percentage.
The tumble is coming. They are averaging 3.1 runs per game. Reality is about to catch up to the Phillies.
A .500 season would be considered a success with a team that was picked to win around 67 games.

Nobody was beating Perez yesterday. I like the talk about bringing hot hitting Joseph up for Ruf. I think any fan can predict that within 30 days there will one or two callups. You can't have half a lineup hitting .180 for a couple of months. Rebuild or not, why waste great pitching. It's time for recycling the slackers.

The Phillies should send Goeddel to the minors. He is struggling. He has never played above AA ball prior to
his promotion to the Phillies. Let him get some more experience and at bats in the minors. Then they could call up Joseph while he is hot. Ruf could get some spot starts in the outfield against lefties. Seems to me that it could
work in the Phils favor.

Goeddel is rule 5. Can't be sent to minors. Must be offerred back to his previous team. And please, no more Ruf in the outfield.

 

[jvett77]

Let's go Vinnie, how about another 16-K game against these hapless bravos! I'll miss the game tonight so I'll want to see a 20 in the win column when I return.

They should put him on waivers if the other team does not want him. Goeddel is a wasted roster spot.

wtf rain delay? Atlanta are a bunch of pussies

 

[Omar 382]

Great game thus far

 

[Cedrique]

We need to stuff those ballot boxes to get Herrera in the All Star game. I forget, where do you get the ballots? Do they still have them at Acme by the Schick Razor displays?

Much like pron, the All-Star ballots have extended to the internet
