tominator89 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2006 Didn't Pat Gillick used to be a good GM? I don't blame Gillick. It's the ownership's fault. We've changed managers, GMs, traded All-Star players, but the owners are the only constant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2006 Yet people around here are still talking about the wildcard race, when they're still 6 games below .500. It's like, let's get to at least an even record before we even think about the playoffs, guys. WHOOOO-EE LOOKIT THEM THERE ASTROS!!!! It's hard to play when you think you're out of the race. It's hard to play without a purpose or a cause. Until you're mathematically eliminated, you're not out of the race. I check the scoreboard and standings every day. We're a ways behind, but who says we're out of the race? Oooooh....sassy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now Clemens and Backe have to hit homeruns in their next starts. I was going to ask if Roger Clemens has ever hit a homer, but I looked it up myself - he hasn't. He does have a few doubles though. Looks like he never did record that stolen base he said he wanted at the beginning of the '05 season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted August 12, 2006 Hey, Pat Gillick was on our flight from Philly to Chicago for our baseball trip (don't know why he was flying to Chicago, since the team was in StL). Dude was across the aisle, 1 row up from us. Got bumped up to 1st class after a bit, though. Ed Wade was a common sight at Red Barons games. I've also seen John Vuckovich and Dallas Green there from time to time. Phils vs. Ryan Franklin. There's no reason we should lose this game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted August 12, 2006 I've complained about the use of the 13 man pitching staff before. This game is a prime example. We have eight pitchers available, leaving just four bench players. Here's the problem. 1. Pat Burrell requires a defensive replacement. Manager Charlie Manuel exacerbates the problem by double switching and putting the pitcher in the fifth slot, behind Ryan Howard. 2. With just Danny Sandoval left, the Reds intentionally walk Ryan Howard into the ninth inning. Sandoval grounds into the DP on the first pitch. 3. 12th inning. The Reds intentionally walk Ryan Howard again, moving the winning run into scoring position. With no bench players left, the Phils are forced to use Randy Wolf as a pinch hitter. The Phils again fail to score. So the Phils have eight relievers. All it's done tonight is take the bat out of their best hitter's hands. You need bench players.

Longdogger_Pete 0 Report post Posted August 12, 2006 At one point last week (just before we called up Corky Miller as an emergency catcher), the Red Sox had 13 men on the pitching staff... a fact that became painfully obvious when Lowell was held out of the lineup and Mirabelli got hurt and missed a few days, leaving us with precisely one bench player (Kapler) remaining.
