Mets @ Phillies, 8/27-30

he's terrible, but if we're going to start him, we can't just pull him early every game. managers can't afford to start guys if it means they have to use the bullpen for 5 or 6 innings each time.

if a team starts a guy like brian lawrence, it's because they're willing to accept his getting shellacked.

it was the same thing last week in colorado. josh fogg had NOTHING, he was getting hammered. but hurdle left him out there

 

:lol: bucker followed lo duca and then joe west also joined them

 

Well, Sosa is making the decision to keep Lawrence in too long moot.

 

fan made a nice catch on that bat.

 

5-2 phillies, bases loaded with sosa facing coste

Sosa gets out of it!

 

Sosa comes back to keep the score at 5-2.

 

durbin yanked in the 7th

 

werth 8 for his last 8. amazing

all this with a sore wrist

 

why did willie give up on a 6-2 game?

schoenweis blows it wide open. shocker

and no one covered 2nd. what a disaster

 

schoenweis blows.

we have him and brian lawrence throwing key innings for us. sinking ship

 

in his return, utley has a single, homer, and double

 

Why in the F do we bother to bring in Shoenpecker – we should just spot the opposing team three runs and skip the inning.

 

werth has tied a phillies record by going 9 for his last 9

 

knockahoma beltran! knockahoma!

 

well, ok. we lose a game to the braves and phillies

 

pedro went 6 innings, giving up 1 run on 5 hits

 

fucking braves are starting smoltz on 3 days rest today so that he'll start vs. us.

yeah I know they want to catch us, but it's so frustrating to watch teams rearrange rotations to face us

we face the three best: smoltz, hudson, and james

 

Lawrence DFA'd, Endy up and in the starting lineup tonight. Burgos to have Tommy John so he's done for all of next season as well. That trade sure looks awful now.
