despite being tied for the best record in all of baseball.

What?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Uhh, they're not tied (Tampa Bay has a .614 winning percentage, Angels .609) and the Cubs are at .626, for SOLE possession of best record.

The Cubs met Ryan Madson last night. A summary of the continued torture of Phillies fans.

Everytime he comes into a close game, I shudder.

Durbin is generally a good pitcher, though he's been overused.

And GAF, Utley has no shot at the MVP. He had two weak months in June and July, hitting about .250 for those two months.

I don't know, it's so wide open right now I think he does have a shot if the Phils make the playoffs and if he has a hell of a month.

There's a lot of "ifs" in that statement, but you know what I mean...

It's anybody's ballgame!

September

Kooky!


When are they finally gonna stop playing that song at ballgames? The Yanks are still doing Take Me Out to the Ballgame, but on TV they cut to a commercial.

Yeah, that.

"The Phils have a five game lead in the division right now if I'm managing this team." - THE EXCEPTION, in the middle of his rant about why Charlie Manuel lost the game last night.

And I agree with him.

That's 2

great... so i mean the american league. they're tied for the most wins in the american league.

for pointing out the technicality of one team having one more loss.

 

[lazarus]

Let's talk about the Cubs potentially winning 100 games for the first time since 1935.

Yes or no?

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Fuckin Daisuke. With his crazy "hump the air" motion and his Japanese breaking balls and shit. Don't you guys know that we can only hit American and Latin-American pitching? It's unfair. We are allergic to Japanese pitching. Especially Jim Thome.

 

[phillyfan26]

This Cubs-Phils series is making me pull my hair out because of Thursday night's game, when the Phils should have won, and because of Friday afternoon's game when the Phils blew a chance to steal a win on the Harden-Blanton matchup.

Who else is about to watch the White Sox play the Red Sox on this lovely Sunday afternoon?

I sure as hell am. The Big G is about to break you fuckers off.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Stay fair...it will!!!

And you can put it on the board. 2-0 Right Sox.

You fuckers are fucked today.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

That's what I like to call the Thome-Konerko special right there.

 

[phillyfan26]

I don't think I've heard a more annoying home run call than "You can put it on the board ... yes!"

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Big Bad Bobby Jenks. Big win. Big game. Big late-inning hit by Crede. Big Papi is a Big Bitch. Big 6 2/3 innings from the Big G Floyd. Big smile on my face.

apparently you've never watched or listened to a local yankee broadcast.

 

[Got Philk?]

^^Big deal...

Myers has looked really good lately for you Phillies fans. If you guys are able to keep a lead going in to the 9th inning...Lidge is filthy.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

yes, but as we all know, lidge is one bad blown save away from falling apart mitch williams style.

do the phillies play the cardinals in september?

anyhoo... this is what i don't get. major league baseball knew full well that the NL East would likely come down to the mets and phillies again, and they also have to know how much of a rivalry it's become... yet how is it that the schedulemakers have them playing each other for the final time in the first weekend of september, and only one series in september at that.

Pretty big talk for a fan of a team that has won only two of the six games it has played against the top two teams in the east division over the last 11 days.

 

[lazarus]

I can live with the Cubs splittng the series against Philly, assuming the Mets can rough up the Brewers for at least 2 games.

And of course, the Brewers have a 4 game series IN Philly next month too, which is going to be brutal. I have much more confidence in the Cubs at Shea.

Please don't mention Mitch Williams.

I don't understand that either. I was looking forward to seeing some Mets-Phillies series in mid to late September until I found out there were none.

You should be breathing easy. The Phillies should have won the first two as well as the last two, especially the first one.

I am not a fan of Ryan Madson.

 

[lazarus]

Strange about that scheduling, because the Cubs and Brewers have two series together in September. I don't know why they assumed the Mets/Phillies rivalry wouldn't be applicable this season too.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

ned yost just pulled sheets in a 1-0 game after 5 innings, and so far there's no report of injury.

so either ben sheets is hurt (again), or ned yost is a moron.
