Phillies-D"Backs Game thread.

Leiter VS Corbin. Expect the Diamond backs to light up Leiter with an explosive offense. Leiter needs
more seasoning down below but he is forced into action because of injuries. Can the Phillies make it
a contest? Prediction: Arizona 7 Phillies 3. The Mack and Neshek feud is not helping things either!

Nice triple! Freddy's the man. 1-0.

 

[jvett77]

Leiter's got a neat 6 inning shutout so far. Still 1-0, mini-red machine. Doesn't look real hopeful considering the bp.

 

[jvett77]

Northeast's man Neshek in for 7th. Mack is saving Cy Neris to close, it appears. Whoopie!

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Neshek should be the closer. No way the Phillies can win this game without scoring at least 2 more runs. Bullpen will blow it.

 

[jvett77]

Franco blast as requested. 2-0.

 

[jvett77]

Oh, damn. Benwathefuk is letting it slip away. 2-1 now.

 

[jvett77]

Get freakin Lamb out, you bastard!

 

[jvett77]

Benoit! Cy! Phils escape Goldie and Lamb!

 

[jvett77]

Joseph blast! 6-1. It's in the bag, baby. ...I think.

 

[jvett77]

Neris! You can do it, buddy.

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Leiter gets the 5 cheesesteak award. Great job against at team that hits well!

 

[jvett77]

Letter first ML win! And Phils move to within 19 1/2 of first! I'll have frizzle and cedrique talked into buying season tickets yet.

You are amazing! One win gets you in a positive mood. But I admit that I share in your joy!

LOL! A rarity - we won with sp, rp, and hitting. Savor the moment!

Phillies have their new number one starter pitching today. We need to score some runs for him. Another win
is about to happen for the surging Phillies!

That's the spirit! We're only 7-1/2 behind the 4th place Mutts. lol. Lively has thrown 4 QSs in his 4 starts. If the hitting really is coming around, he should get a win today.

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Lively has a no hitter in progress after one!.

Herrera makes error leading to an un-earned run.

I missed the play. I may have to send him down for 6 months of intense seasoning.
