Phillies at the Washington Nationals Game Series

[jvett77]

Two in a row over the nats! Let's sweep this weekend!

 

[jvett77]

YEA BABY WE TAKE GAME TWO!!! I hope we take game three tomorrow night but it is not going to be good because Burnett is scheduled to pitch and it always takes him 3-4 innings to get going and other teams take advantage of that especially a good hitting team like Washington.

My notes say AJ is due to throw a gem. lol.

 

[Retroram52]

I'll be here tomorrow night.

 

[jvett77]

I should be here. Sweeping the Nats and Werth would be nice. Geez, we're back to only 12 games under .500.

 

[Retroram52]

Yea I saw that jvett. We haven't even reached 50 wins yet. Perhaps tomorrow night. We got two more against these guys and we owe the Nats. Right now we are at 6-5 versus them and we still have two more games and one more home and home this season.

Howard batting cleanup again tonight. When will Ryno get a clue? Move him to 6th or 7th. He sucks in the clutch!

 

[Retroram52]

I totally agree northeast.

 

[Retroram52]

Burnett is on tonight. I hope we don't get hammered for three innings while he warms up. It usually takes to inning three or four for Burnett to get a rhythm and by then we are down 4 or 5 runs.

 

[Retroram52]

Burnett started pretty good and then he gave of the base hit. One on with no outs.

 

[Retroram52]

Burnett is in trouble and Span stole second. So we are in trouble early.

 

[Retroram52]

This is typical. Rendon gets a hit into right field and Span scores because Burnett is setting up perfect pitches for base hits. This is not looking good.

 

[Retroram52]

Again, Burnett is throwing such a slow ball and now they have two stolen bases in the first inning and Ruiz just can't the ball their fast enough. This is terrible.

 

[Retroram52]

And of course Revere's rag arm isn't going to hold Rendon on second.

 

[Retroram52]

We sure as hell lucked out of that side with just one run.

 

[Retroram52]

Excellent. Marlon Byrd gets a base hit with a nice drop into center field.

 

[Retroram52]

Nothing on that side.

 

[jvett77]

Only behind 1-0 in the 2nd with AJ out there. Not bad.

 

[jvett77]

Arthritis is a bitch I guess.

 

[Retroram52]

Yep not bad is right jvett. Usually we are down by 3 or 4. Burnett was decent in the first and we got out of jam.

 

[jvett77]

I'd settle for one run here after Utley blew that play.
