Phillies at the Washington Nationals Game Series

[Retroram52]

Well done Revere!!

I wonder how the Nats feel losing to a beaten down old school team like the Phillies tonite. Probably like shit.

 

[Retroram52]

That is why I hope the Phillies play tomorrow night like they played tonight just to rub that in, jvett.

 

[Cedrique]

I just rewatched the inning where Lee got hurt. Watching it live I missed the part where he asked the trainer to pull his finger.

Good things happen when Howard sits and someone else bats 4th! With Brown and Howard on the bench we are a better offensive team. IMO.

 

[Mondo Jay]

Congrats Phillies! Keeping that team intact is special.

Cardiac Kids Rule!

Yea, I just caught a glimpse of that Cedrique. That is the extent of Lee's usefulness as well. Fartboy lives on.

As game 2 of this series starts, I would prefer .271 Byrd batting fourth in front of .224 Howard. Let them walk Byrd in certain situations. It's still another runner on base.

 

[Retroram52]

I wish they would just sit Howard and play Ruf. Yea, I know. Boobens has to muk things up.

 

[jvett77]

Yeah, I'd like to see more of Ruf too.

jvett.

 

[Retroram52]

That is typical Howard. He is back to just swinging at any pitch. Now that he understands he is not going to be at least traded, the audition is over and he is back to his usual toad baseball.

 

[Retroram52]

Byrd strikes and this pitcher has a few people just swinging at anything. Let us see if Sizemore can get on base.

 

[jvett77]

Harper looked stupid on that fly.

 

[Retroram52]

Very nice deep ball between left and center and Harper missed the catch. Grady gets a double.

 

[Retroram52]

Yea he did jvett.

 

[Retroram52]

Their catcher on his knees is almost as tall as Ruiz. Big dude. Asche is up as Ruiz got on by a walk.

 

[jvett77]

Good job, Asche!

 

[Retroram52]

Asche pounds one to right and Sizemore scores. Very nice hit and the Phils score first.

We're off to a good start on this 2 game streak.
