D-Backs at Phillies Game Thread

[Cedrique]

Im not even worried about the game today. I'll be glued to the set watching the hall of fame inductions. I hope they do the right thing and have a surprise announcement that Lieberthal is finally getting in. Those anti semites have held him out for long enough.

 

[Retroram52]

We will keep you up-to-date as usual Cedrique. Enjoy the show!

 

[Retroram52]

We are not even out of the first inning and there is a slight controversy. Utely beat the runner by a mile. It's an out.

I don't see this on my tv menu. Time and channel?

 

[Retroram52]

We face Vidal Sassoon, sorry Vidal Nuno. Lets jump all over this dude and get some runs early. We do better when we score early and often.

 

[Retroram52]

Finally, Howard gets a HR!! It's a two run shot!

 

[Retroram52]

Maybe that is the shot of confidence Howard needs to get going.

 

[jvett77]

His swing looked perfect. Maybe he'll get in a groove and hit 35.

 

[Retroram52]

Nice play by Revere.

Yea it did jvett. Maybe that disconnect between his ears will get solved so that this dude actually earns the gobs of money he is being paid. Geez, Howard is doing it all. What has got into him?

 

[Retroram52]

Frikin' Hernandez allows one run.

 

[Retroram52]

Nice base hit by Jimmy. Still rolling along.

 

[Retroram52]

Going into the fourth we are still up 2-1. We need a couple more runs for security because these D-backs can explode at any minute like we saw last night.

 

[Retroram52]

Hernandez is in a groove retiring seven in-a-row. Hanging tough on the lead but we need more runs.

 

[Retroram52]

Very nice play by D. ruf who is playing in left field. Out of the three players who grace the left field, Brown, Sizemore, and Ruf, Ruf should be playing there more often so he can get playing time since the Phillies are hellbent on playing Howard.

 

[Retroram52]

This game has turned into a pitcher's duel with Nuno and Hernandez.

 

[Retroram52]

Inciarte gets a double. Hernandez maybe getting tired.

 

[Retroram52]

This is not looking good with one out an Inciarte on third.

 

[Retroram52]

Sac fly for Gold boy gets Inciarte home and the game is tied. This must mean a complete blow-out or extra innings.

 

[Retroram52]

Howard beats Nuno again and gets on with a walk. Let's add a run or two here Byrd.
