Series Thread: Giants at Phillies

[Retroram52]

Now we have a damn rain delay in Phillieland.

 

[Retroram52]

What the hell. Have we become the Philadelphia Cubs? Sutcliffe is calling tonight's game and of course the head skipper is Sandberg.

 

[Retroram52]

Well this game is still on rain delay and they may have to a double header tomorrow because the time factor comes into play since it is now nearly 9:00pm on the east coast. I'll check back later.

Scoreless after 7 innings. The Phillies are not capable of winning this type of a game. Sad but true.

Brown got a hit in the 8th. 2 on for Ruf.

 

[jvett77]

Ruf bunts them into scoring position for Blanco and Sizemore.

 

[jvett77]

According to plan. Blanco Ks. Now Size.

 

[jvett77]

Sizemore skies out. What a joke.

 

[jvett77]

0-0, 2 outs in top of 9th and Paps loads'em up. He can't find the strike zone. How exciting!

 

[jvett77]

Paps threw a third strike but ump didn't call it. So of course Pence clears the bases with a double down the rt field line. And the expected loss is minutes away.

its a tired cliché, but still holds true. Bad teams find ways to lose games

why they intentionally walked Crawford is just beyond me. Nothing like making sure they get to the Giants best hitter

Agree. Bad decision by Ryno. Also Paps pitched 2 innings last night. Should have used someone else. poor managing. IMO.

 

[Retroram52]

Yea they did that last night intentionally walking a player that eventually led to a blown-wide-open game in extra innings. Even the rain delay didn't help and our losing streak is up to 4 games. Will see if they find a way to lose tomorrow afternoon.

Let's see if Hamels can actually get a win. We are already up by one and the SF announcers are afraid teh game is going to get away from them. Seriously?

 

[Retroram52]

Looks like Nieves is behind the plate as well.

 

[Retroram52]

At least Ruf can run unlike Howard.

 

[Retroram52]

Way to get a bead on that ball Revere. Must of fell asleep out there in the sun.

 

[Retroram52]

We are still up one to nothing. I wonder how long this will last.

 

[Retroram52]

Freakin announcers are discussing how difficult it is to play Ruf over Howard when Howard has done so much for the Phillies. What a load of shit! Howard can't do didly and we have to endure another two years of this turd. Give Ruf a chance and get on with it.

 

[Retroram52]

Very nice base hit by Nieves and let's see if Hamels gets a base hit to advance the runner.
