Phillies vs Braves thread

[Cedrique]

Yeah, when they let McCann go they forgot that his main function was to kill the Phillies every time they played.

 

[Cedrique]

ok, Dom. This is your chance!

Braves defense is crappy. Loaded, no outs. 3 should be crossing the plate soon.

 

[Cedrique]

Wow, I guess I was wrong on that one

 

[jvett77]

Very clutch single by Howard to score the runner on third, 2 outs.

 

[Retroram52]

We are up by three as the fifth comes to a close.

 

[Retroram52]

And now its four. This is actually fun for a change.

 

[Retroram52]

Going through the sixth with still a four run cushion. Come on Phils, bring it home!

 

[jvett77]

Howard's up to .240. 3rd in RBIs with 47. Hope he stays hot.

 

[Retroram52]

I hope he knocks another out the park. I want to see a football score here just to humilate the Braves. Oops, we can say Braves. What are they now, the Ted Turner's? How about TT's or tits for short! lol.

 

[Cedrique]

Gotta love Hernandez's hustle after he puts the ball in play. It's like he's playing stickball, just waiting for someone to bobble it so he can yell "that's a single"

Caesar is starting to hit. Getting some playing time is helping. Plus he has a good glove. Mayberry is a producer lately. It takes a team! The Phillies are starting to look like one!

 

[Cedrique]

It seems kind of dumb leaving him in for this inning though. They could have pinch hit then let Giles try to go two innings.

 

[Cedrique]

On the other hand, everything is going Ryno's way today

 

[Retroram52]

Managerial faux pas.

 

[Cedrique]

Yeah, that was a little dicey, especially after they got some men on. As NDirish will tell you, sending in Bastardo and his gaudy walks total is even scarier if there are already guys on base.

 

[Retroram52]

Even though Howard struck out swinging stranding Utley (which the Phillies are known for) we are still hanging in going down the stretch.

 

[Cedrique]

Holy Chit, great inning by )(**&%)

 

[jvett77]

Phillies relief has become lights out.

 

[Retroram52]

Yep. Doubled them up and well on our way to three-in-a-row.
