Phillies Yankees Gamethread Tuesday,

[northeastphillyguy]

O'Sullivan VS Sabathia. Both pitchers can struggle. The Phillies must continue to score runs. Revere, Hernandez and Franco should be the 1st 3 hitters in the lineup once again. That combo seems to work!
Someone else needs to get hot because Franco can not be expected to provide crazy numbers in every game.
Would be nice to see Utley and Brown produce with the bat.

Perhaps the momentum in our offense via the young bats that started in the last game of the series with the Cardinals will continue and develop some real sustainable consistency.

 

[Retroram52]

Looks as though there is a major storm. Rain delay for awhile.

 

[Retroram52]

The delay is over and the Yanks lead 1-0 in the first.

 

[Retroram52]

O'Sullivan gave another HR to Garrett Jones. Yanks up 2-0.

 

[Retroram52]

This is not starting out well.

 

[Retroram52]

Franco is playing first. Go figure.

 

[Retroram52]

Rupp is starting behind home plate for the third game in a row. This is a good sign.

 

[Retroram52]

I guess the Phillies are experimenting.

 

[Retroram52]

Revere starts the 3rd with a base hit.

 

[Cedrique]

Not to worry...I have a plan

Hamels and Howard to Texas for Joey Gallo and catching prospect Alfaro (plus we give them a bunch of money)
call up Ruf and Crawford.

Revere RF
Crawford SS
Franco 2B
Gallo 3B
Ruf 1b
Asche/Brown or whoever we get for Papelbohn LF
Rupp/Alfaro C
Hernandez CF until Roman Quinn is ready

 

[Retroram52]

Hernandez sends one deep and Revere scores. Yanks up 2-1.

 

[jvett77]

Hail Cesar! Key hit to drive in a run after Revere singles. He belongs in this lineup.

 

[Retroram52]

I like it Cedrique. So when do you start as the new GM of the Phils?

 

[Retroram52]

Howard is swinging around pitches. lol!

 

[Retroram52]

Galvis is going to be the second baseman though not Franco. Sandberg is playing Franco at first tonight for cryin' out loud.

 

[Retroram52]

When are they going to get rid of this idiot Francoeur?

 

[Retroram52]

We serve up another HR to Gardner. 3-1 Yanks. Frikin O'Sullivan. What a complete turd.

 

[Retroram52]

Steroids boy gets a single into left field. This game is rapidly going downhill.

 

[Cedrique]

I like it Cedrique. So when do you start as the new GM of the Phils?

I"m waiting by the phone right now.... Don't get me wrong, that team would still lose because we wouldn't have any pitching but the offensive half of the inning would at least be interesting. I'm excited about Crawford. he's like a skinnier Bobby Abreu. This team desperately needs someone like him that will take some walks and get on base
