Cubs-Phillies Gamethread.

Quintana VS Eickhoff. Cubs will probably sweep the lowly Phillies. Ike has never been the same since he had back issues. Maybe he can last 5 innings. Hoskins will continue to help our offense and hopefully the rest of the
team will too. Our pitching is our biggest enemy now as the offense has awakened. However every game is
worth watching just to see the BEAST in action!

With 7 games to go in August, Hoskins, with 8 homers in 11 games, has a shot at breaking the NL record for the most home runs in any month by a rookie which is 12 by Adam Dunn in 2001. The AL record is 18 by Rudy York in 1937. The all-time record for HRs in any month is held by Sammy Sosa with 20 in 1998. In case you're wondering, Stanton currently has 14 homers in August.

Let's hope some moron on the Phillies staff isn't thinking, it's time to give this guy a day off.

Mack is a Moron. But even he should not make such a move. Let the BEAST loose! Bombs away!

Number 9 for Hoskins! Whoopie! 2-1 Phils.

The Beast does not waist time! Bombs away1

Hey, I believe Schwarber's 21 homers and .202 BA is a great case for bringing up Cozens, 23 homers and .219, in the next few days.

No way! Phillies want guys that get on base!

Cozens .305 OBP, Schwarber .305. Would be cool rest of the year unless you're hot over Kim and Kelly.

Samuel screws up once more as Galvis somehow breaks for the plate and is tagged out. And with Hoskins up. MayBe he thought it was ball 4 and could catch them off guard. Dumb.

 

[jvett77]

Nice win for the Phils, 7-1. Hitting and pitching were on. Wish these bums could do it every night.

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Warning: opposing teams: Enter ballpark at your own risk! Phillies hitting bombs everywhere!

 

[jvett77]

Incredible! Rhys slams his 10th! WTF? He thinks this is batting practice.

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Cubs discover long ball. The BEAST needs to hit some more to counter!

 

[jvett77]

Franco plain sucks.

 

[jvett77]

Too many morons in front of Alfaro. He should bat 5th or 6th. Wicked double and single tonight.

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Franco plain sucks.

But you said that he needs more time to develop. Changing your mind?

 

[Cedrique]

The dildoes are back!

 

[northeastphillyguy]

This is our pitching for the rest of the season. Like it or not!

Well, he plain sucks, but yes, he needs more time to develop.

Holy shit, there's another problem. This is our pitching for next season.
