Phillies- Mets- Gamethread-Sat.

Harang VS Niece. Fairly even pitching matchup. This game is a tossup. Phillies could hit a few homers along with Howards awakening, Ruf an Asche are due for a long ball.

 

[GenJac]

Go Phillies.

There are rumors that the Phillies will call up Franco before the month is over. Providing that he keeps hitting well.
But I wonder if that is the right thing to do. He is a streak type hitter and needs to play everyday. With Asche
and Howard it will be hard to do.

Asche-Utley and Howard are out of the lineup tonight. Hernandez and Blanco get a start along with Frenchy.
Ruf to bat 3rd. Loading Righties to face A left handed pitcher is Rynos strategy tonight!

This is a game you have to hope Ruf excels. I'm talking long ball.

Why don't you make one of your predictions like you did for Howard. It seemed to work.

Lose again. 11-20.

Harang pitched well today. 2 earned runs. Just trying to look at a bright spot

It's so hard to guess when Ruf will hit one out. Despite facing Niece, I wanted Howard in there. Tough loss tonite. They had their chances.
