Revere is ofer tonight as well.

 

[Retroram52]

Revere gets a nice line drive to left field to get his first hit of the evening.

 

[Retroram52]

Revere is third in the National League with 47 stolen bases.

 

[Retroram52]

The get Revere at second. That is all she wrote for our side in the inning.

 

[jvett77]

I have been hoping to see Franco show up with some power by the end of the month but the guy is struggling even against the lefty. Maybe next week.

 

[Retroram52]

Buchanan walks a batter and now is even. Yea jvett, BPNAZ has already dropped the hatchet on Franco. He has been less than sterling in his hitting and its only his defense that is keeping him on the roster-I think. Other than that, he joins a long line of poor hitters on this present roster.

 

[Retroram52]

After that beautiful deep double ball by Ruf, Franco flys out. Not good.

 

[Retroram52]

Buchanan served up an near HR to Lowry and he's on third and this will probably do us in.

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Ryno should have had the pen start the 7th. We have 9 relievers available.

 

[Retroram52]

Sogard gets to third on the Crisp hit and we are staring at another run.

 

[Retroram52]

Sandberg is sleeping like everyone else on this western swing Northeast.

 

[Retroram52]

Ah geez, frikin' Retardo is in. This may be the end.

 

[Retroram52]

And as expected, Retardo walks the batter and the bases are loaded. I have yet to understand why they keep this guy on this roster.

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Defrat is the man!

 

[Retroram52]

So they get rid of Retardo and bring in De Fratus and he gets us out of the inning. Again, what on the fereakin' planet are we keeping a putz like Retardo on this roster? More than I'd like to admit, this guy screws things up and more often than not, they have to replace him WITHIN the same inning he was brought in to get us out of without any further run damage. Just fereakin' boggles the mind!!

 

[Retroram52]

Galvis sits at third with one out and Ruiz is up. Can we get him home?

 

[Retroram52]

That's so damn typical. Given the opportunity to score, we get caught at home. Ruiz gets to first but Galvis gets tagged at home.

 

[Retroram52]

Next, Utley grounds out and the side is done.

 

[Retroram52]

Diekman is in for De Fratus.

 

[Retroram52]

Diekman walks Moss. This is starting out like Retardo.
