Phillies-Braves Gamethread-Weds

[northeastphillyguy]

Williams against Foltynewiitz. Another game that is hard to predict. I think Wiliams can keep us in the game
based on the Phillies scoring some runs. Just heard the Phils sold speedy outfielder Darin Mastroiany to the Nats for cash considerations. He was hitting .292 for Lehigh valley. In other notes: Phils need to dump Dustin McGowan. He has walked 16 batters in 14 innings of pitching and allowed 30 base runners as well. Bring up anybody to replace him! Please!

Look at the lineup - Howard's the only old guy in it!

Diekman is terrible. Walks another then gives up a run scoring hit.

Howard loves batting ahead of Ruf. Too bad Ruf does not hit well following Howard.

Your boy is up now in the 9th, two out, after Howard walked. He's the tying run.

 

[jvett77]

Ruf flops a single to left and it's 7-5 now.

Herrera Ks and the Phils end up short. At least Howard raised his average to .220 and Revere is now at a respectable .264. How exciting.

Not much has changed.
