Nice win propels us through a hop-skip-and-a-jump from fourth to second in the toilet-trash NL East. LOL!

Harper goes on the 10 day DL. The Reason: an arm contusion! That is a bruise. There is drama going on with Harper. Send him to a shrink please!

I just received a random brainwave message that Nola would toss five two-hit innings tonight to help the Phils win 6-2. Hoskins unloads again. Can’t give up yet. Phillies WS odds are 40-1. Right in the middle of the pack.

 

[jvett77]

Well, Nola has a 6-inning 2-hitter. I called it. Now, where will we get four more runs to put this away?

 

[jvett77]

Guess I didn't learn my lesson. Stop laughing, retro.

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Yahn.

As long as they stay near .500, which is possible once Gregorious and Realmuto return, I can't count them out of the bad NL East. It doesn't look good, though.

This team finds ways to lose, McCutchen is horrible why play him, Knapp another useless player, but again he is playing, Merchand has to produce more. Joyce another wasted player. Would hope the manger has some ability to put players in that are better than these. When the “stars” come back, the other teams will get their players back, so we will continue to lose. Harper is not the best right fielder in the NL East, every team has home grown talent that is better than our bought talent. The word mediocre is the Phillies description. But we do spend a lot of money to be crap

I had estimated Phils would do 17 wins in May, after a 13-13 April. Problem is they’re just 11-13 in May with four games left in the month. I’ve lowered my prediction to 12 wins.

A win today would lift my spirits!

7.36 Howard goes today. Prayers are in order.

If he stays away from walks, he will be fine.

Phillies lineup loaded with scrubs today.

Neris will blow this game today. I do not trust him.

I called hiS MOM and she did an intervention in sign language. All is well!

 

[Retroram52]

Still trying to keep pace with a below .500 record is laughable. The Mutts have won 3 and we beat the Fish by a run. These dildoes are an exercise in futility. Period.

After two months, Phils starting pitching is coming around but key players on the offense aren't getting the job done.

Spot on as usual jvett!!

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Yahn!

 

[jvett77]

McCutcheon is not a winner. Gives up on the slow bouncer to first in the 9th when he possibly could have beaten it out after it was juggled by the pitcher. Fuck him. I would dump McCutcheon ASAP.

 

[jvett77]

Phils have lost 13 of their last 20.
