Athletics-Phillies Gamethread.

Leiter starts for the Phillies. Hope he can go at least 6 innings. Phillies hitting well recently.
More Homeruns tonight. Future looks bright! GO PHILLIES!

 

[jvett77]

Leiter, more seasoning, dude.

Mentgen comes into game with an ERA over 7.00. Now a CY Young candidate!

 

[jvett77]

Another Cy. Lost cause. Pathetic.

The return of the Dildoes!

The return of the Dildoes!

Where have I heard the before. Lol.

The Tribe fails to win 23 in a row. The Phillies were able to lose 23 in a row in 1961. Winning is harder?

Sandusky' son, 41, gets 3 to 6 minimum after pleading guilty to sex crimes with minors. At least they were girls. Not exactly a chip off the old block.

 

[northeastphillyguy]

The Phillies will bounce back strong after todays loss. BOOK it!

 

[jvett77]

We're 7-7 in September with 90 losses and 15 games remaining. I think we'll do better than 5-10.

Everyone is entitled to their hopes and wishes but in this arena, the dildoes and pathetics will determine the final tally and it won't be pretty.

I have contacted the Phillies by e-mail. I told them it was OK to score a bunch of runs tonight. They agreed!

weather delay bullshit. weekend is my time to watch uninterrupted phillies games when i wake up. need something to wash away yesterdays game that i was able to see in all of its 2 hit glory.

I love how ever since they noticed the Giants overtook them for worst record, they magically can't score runs

I think about that too. Could it be that both teams are losing for the same reason?

JP has moved his bat to .289. Is making brilliant plays at third.

And he can do it at SS as well. I know Hernandez is hitting well, Freddy plays a GG SS, but I'm looking forward to seeing Herrera to Kingery to start next year.

Herrera
Kingery
Nicky Dubs
Alien

Is a solid top four to me. Crawford doing what he can do will be nice. Really wish Franco could turn it around and be the 5 hitter for protection. To start next year seems like it will be Altherr. Alfaro has done well up in the bigs. Shits looking nice. Wish VV could have put it together. He has the stuff. Would seem shitty to see him relegated to a pen role, but what can you do. Think we got spoiled in the Doc, Lee, and Hamels years. I see Nola as a 3 because of that and I'm probably not wrong in the bigger picture of what WS team is.

Hernandez is an excellent lead off guy. Should remain there. Franco should be traded in my opinion.

Always felt 3B should be a power bat position, don't see that with crawford. with that being said, Kingery is eventually going to come up, he's an ideal 2 hole hitter from what i read (haven't seen mind you). Don't know what we'd get from Franco at this point, need him to put in a great month first, if not year. Granted, I remember when the top 3 prospects in MLB were Harper, Trout, Brown... 2 out of 3 ain't bad, unless your a fan of the one that didn't make it I guess. Best of luck on his pitching prospects.Also, I would hope Hernandez has some decent trade appeal.

The left side of the infield will be the best of Franco, JP, Kingery, Cesar in the long run. Franco is the big mystery. Kingery may not have the speed to bat second.
