Mariners @ The Phillies Game Thread

[Retroram52]

Looks like Jerome Williams had a very productive night going into the 7th inning pitching a shut-out. We are up 4-0.

 

[Retroram52]

Did Boobens luck out and find another Grady Sizemore as a pitcher? Heater boy is in!

 

[Retroram52]

Chavez gets a single and now there are two on and no outs. This is not good.

 

[Retroram52]

Giles gets 'em swinging for the out. That was big.

 

[Retroram52]

Giles serves up a double, one run scores and there goes the shut-out by Williams. This freakin' bullpen is just going down the toliet as the tying run is at the plate.

 

[Retroram52]

Giles got Kineau on a slider for the second out. Giles might get out of this side without anymore damage.

 

[Retroram52]

Giles got the batter for third out but gave up a run and ruined Williams' shut-out.

Williams surprised me in a good way. Ruf 2 for 3 with a walk and a double. He knows how to get on base!

 

[Retroram52]

Furbush the Seattle pitcher. I am sure he took a beating when going through Junior High School and then into Senior High School. I think I would have changed my last name.

Ruf has gone from a .200 batter to a .262 batting average. All the more reason to play him more. Revere is on again.

 

[Retroram52]

Revere has another stolen base. Number 36 for the year.

 

[Retroram52]

Freakin' Utley is in a hitting slump. He is ofer for tonight and wasn't too productive on the road trip.

 

[Retroram52]

Here is a pitcher with two first names. Fernando Rodney.

 

[Retroram52]

Phils strand one and it looks like the Paps is in.

 

[Retroram52]

The majority of our offense tonight has been Blanco's three-run Homer.

 

[Retroram52]

Papelbon gets out number two with a nice slider.

 

[Retroram52]

Morrison gets a single into the outfield and this is not good. Papelbon needs to close this game out.

 

[Retroram52]

Save number 29 for Papelbon. We get our 55th win and on we go tomorrow at 55-70.

Must have been tough for his mom and sister!

I missed most of the game but one highlight was Giles striking out Canoe swinging at ground balls..
