Series Thread: Washington at Phillies

[Retroram52]

Looks like we go extra innings. First team to make a mistake wins this one.

 

[Retroram52]

Span is walked on. This where we need to get out of this inning.

 

[Retroram52]

Krap. Werth is on with Span and one out. We need a double play here.

 

[Retroram52]

Got LaRoche swinging, Diekman. One more out.

 

[Retroram52]

Krap, Span and Werth score.

 

[Retroram52]

If we lose this game, we squandered so many opportunities.

 

[Retroram52]

That ends the 5-game winning streak. WE should have definitely won this game. We left way too many runners stranded and Diekman just killed us in the extra innings. Onward we go.

When Revere caught up to McCloths long fly in the 9th about a mile from home plate to keep it 3-3, I though for sure we'd have the momentum score in the ninth. But no deal. The Phillies were 2 for 14 w/RISP. I hope we do better today. But Brown is out again and Revere is not leading off. It seemed like Brown was starting to come around. I'm thinking this doesn't look good.

 

[Retroram52]

We shall see jvett. I am sure it was fun to see in person even though outcome was not what you wanted!

 

[Retroram52]

Well, Kendrick totally blew the first inning and the Nats jumped all over this. WE are down 3-0.

 

[Retroram52]

First hit of the day for the Phils is Revere's base hit to center field.

 

[Retroram52]

Revere is to second on the nice sac bunt. Lets get a run or two, or three, or four. Sizemore is up.

 

[Retroram52]

We are back to leaving runners in scoring position just like last night. O for 2.

 

[Retroram52]

Kendricks has retired 12 straight since the HR.

 

[Retroram52]

We are sleep-walking through this game. Asche has awakened as he is the second base runner in scoring position today to start off the fifth. Let's go Rupp!!

 

[Retroram52]

That ball got away from Rupp and Rendon moves to second.

 

[Retroram52]

Werth walks and now Kendricks is in trouble.

 

[Retroram52]

Byrd tried to make the throw but it was offline and Rendon scores. We ae now down 4-0. This one is rapidly disappearing.

 

[jvett77]

It's done. Today the team has looked as lethargic as Howard. And with 4 days off it'll be tough to re-energize.

 

[Retroram52]

Kendricks is done and Hollands just served up a two-run double and now the wheels are coming off.

Apparently this team has two personalities almost sort of schizoid: one that is this loser-lame sleepwalking bullshit team that does little to score runs in any consistent fashion and one that we saw win 5 straight against Milwaukee and Washington where everyone is engaged and playing and hitting to the best of their abilities.
