Phillies-Brewers Game Thread

Looks like we are 2-0 early on. Who would have thunk it!

 

[Retroram52]

Looks like Blanco is playing tonight.

 

[Retroram52]

Sheez, Utely is 2 for 2 and we had a HR. Looks like we have achieved our average runs per game. Time to go home.

 

[Retroram52]

Well there ya go. Howard gets a deep Right/Center RBI and Utely motors home. Phillies are up 3-0. I suppose Utely can still motor. Apparently somebody has ragged on the hitting coach Henderson. Perhaps threats of a firing might have been discussed because things along our lousy hitting seems to be the focus.

 

[Retroram52]

Estrada's pitch count is way up and it is only the third inning.

 

[Retroram52]

Maybe our new found offense is because Utely was voted in to this year's All-Star game.

 

[Retroram52]

Howard just bailed-out Hamels who nearly threw that hit away.

It sure would be nice to get a few wins in Milwaukee.

 

[Retroram52]

We are playing a 57-win team here. So if we put together a complete game, MAYBE, MAYBE these guys are changing things. WE are what 37-51, 14 games under .500? So we are precipitously close to being totally out of any comeback possibilities unless things radically change.

Nice infield hit by Revere. He is now 2 for 2.

 

[Retroram52]

Milwaukee is closiong the roof because I suppose they are getting a shower. Pretty cool.

 

[Retroram52]

Apparently Blanco is playing in place of Jimmie tonight.

 

[Retroram52]

It appears Revere's knee problems are better because his speed is back.

 

[Retroram52]

Revere has ran to second base eight times now and still has to go back to first. WE have this pitcher throwing himself ragged.

 

[Retroram52]

Utely walks and Howard is up. I wish he'd put one out of the park right about now.

 

[Retroram52]

Estrada is wasted. He has thrown nearly 100 pitches in 5 innings and now the bases are loaded as Howard walks.

 

[jvett77]

Any kind of Byrd hit would be nice with them loaded.

 

[Retroram52]

Once again, the bases are loaded and Byrd grounds out. I have seen this so much over the years, I am sick of Phillies leaving runners on bases. IT JUST PLAIN SUCKS!!

 

[jvett77]

Retro, looks like they hit the magic 3-run barrier.

 

[Retroram52]

All they have to do is put the ball in play especially when the bases are loaded. PUT THE DAMN BALL IN PLAY!! It is a simple concept that the Phillies just can't get through the their heads especially this year.
