ayo lets go phillies get me a fukkin tastykake

Werth's pre-AB music should be "F*!#in' Up"

I hate the name of this thread so much I came to SB whoever made it, but it's cankles so there's no point.

Looks something like 13 runs in the last 12 games...?

have been outscored 50-14 since 5/21

i think i read somewhere where they had the most-imbalanced schedule in terms of front-loading road games and spending the majority of the second half at home... could it be road-weariness?

they even get an extra home series when toronto plays a 'home' series in cbp

that is some serious bs, btw.

Bottom 1st: Boston
- M. Scutaro walked
- D. Pedroia grounded into fielder's choice, M. Scutaro out at second
- V. Martinez doubled to deep center, D. Pedroia scored
- D. Ortiz doubled to left, V. Martinez scored
- A. Beltre doubled to shallow left, D. Ortiz scored
- M. Lowell homered to left, A. Beltre scored
- B. Hall struck out looking
- M. Cameron singled to shallow center
- D. McDonald flied out to shallow right

5 runs, 5 hits, 0 errors
Philadelphia 0, Boston 5

Bottom 2nd: Boston
- M. Scutaro singled to shallow left
- D. Pedroia doubled to left center, M. Scutaro scored
- V. Martinez doubled to left center, D. Pedroia scored
- D. Ortiz doubled to left, V. Martinez scored
- D. Herndon relieved J. Moyer

(9 Runs charged to Moyer in 1.0 IP)

Phillies' ball girls down the outfield lines are the worst-fielding ball girls/boys I've ever seen. They just go yikes! and run out of the way of anything moving faster than a box turtle, make no attempt to catch foul balls until they've stopped moving.

Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Chase Utley will be out at least eight weeks after having surgery on his injured right thumb, Phillies athletic trainer Scott Sheridan said.

The operation was performed Thursday in New York by hand specialist Dr. Andrew Weiland. Trainers said Utley must wear a splint on the thumb for five weeks before he begins rehabilitation. Utley and the Phillies will get a better idea exactly how long he will be sidelined once the stitches are removed from the thumb.

oh hey, maybe the Mets will have a shot at the playoffs now, congratz.

Mordy, we wd have such fun at a Mets-Phils game.

we should totally do it. i don't know when the next game in NY is, or whether it'll be easy to get tickets, but we should make plans. ILX baseball day would be fun.

plus if it's a blowout we can talk polit*cs

SECURITY!

lol as if. i'm like least likely baseball fan to misbehave. you'd be like, "Obama sucks," and i'd probably be like, "lol maybez." i can't sustain seriousness in casual real life interactions

u do know Phillies gear gets you an "asshole" chant now at Citi

Hey Morbs, what's your policy versus rooting for Phillies injuries versus poxes on your team (usually leading to you throwing epic hissy fits)? Just sayin dawg. Be careful with that karma imo.

I pretty much don't "root for injuries." I like Utley.

(esp as he's underrated, if a perennial All-Star can be)

i'll just wear my iggles gear.

YOU'VE BEEN OHLENDORFED

shit, at this rate they'll give Rollins another MVP

i'm a bit surprised that for a supposedly elite player rollins has never OBPed .350+ for a season

it's pretty obv from his style of hitting

his elite status has a lot to do with position scarcity too, for a while there NL shortstop was like the worst position in the majors

OAKLAND, CA's JIMMY ROLLINS

FUIUD

you don't like IUDs?

Sorry that all baseball players don't fit your archetypical Richie Cunningham dork-hunk model, Doc.

^senile

Ruben Amaro is such a dumbass

Jayson Stark of ESPN.com reports that the Phillies are working on a "major deal" for a starting pitcher and would move Jayson Werth in a "companion trade."

Why dont you trade for Cliff Lee lol

ha!

trading werth actually makes sense since they're not gonna resign him + they have domonic brown languishing in the minors

doesn't solve the ibanez problem but oh well

i think the lee trade actually had some legitimate logic behind it... but in retrospect it kinda sucks, esp cuz the prospects they got back aren't exactly lighting the world on fire

am reading alot of insane banter online about whatever deal is supposedly happening. which makes me think nothing will happen.
i should probably go to bed.

yeah i mean... what starting pitcher would constitute "a major deal"? dan haren? that doesn't make sense bcuz there is no way the d backs would trade for werth and no way that the phillies could give them fair value in return w/o giving up brown

so it must be roy oswalt? that really isn't that major tho cuz it should be pretty easy to get him

ted lilly maybe?

marlins aren't trading nolasco to the phillies

i dunno why amaro feels the need to make these break-even trades when the phillies should be in win-now mode. you'd think he would have learned something from the halladay/lee thing.

if they trade werth for oswalt and dom brown doesn't hit right away then they're in trouble

fuck an amaro. although i still like how ryan howard is being (over)paid with money halladay left on the table. idiot.

Werth for Jonathan Sanchez?

yay Phils back to gettin shut out

Today's game was EPIC.

Agreed!

I've never seen a pitcher called for a balk for faking a throw to an unoccupied base before. That's the kind of weird shit that has been happening to the Dodgers this year.

After hitting the two-run double that capped an incredible Phillies rally, Carlos Ruiz tried to escape his teammates. But that wasn't happening. Not on this night.

He ran away from the happy mob of players sprinting from the dugout. Brian Schneider and Mike Sweeney were the first to tackle him.

"And then it was a big mess," Ruiz said.

I don't know if I should 'aw' at how much they clearly love each other, or gag.

On the current frontpage of Philly.com sports: TO ERR IS HUMAN. 3 ERRORS IS THE METS.

that's way beyond grade level
