So now it is 6 games out of 7 that the Phillies could only score 2 runs or less!

 

Another shameful loss and dunderheaded baserunning …………

____________________________________________________________________

For the second straight day the Philadelphia Phillies knew that the NL EAST leading Braves lost before their game concluded. And for the second straight day it had absolutely no influence and gave them no incentive to beat the garbage Astros.

 

Sad to say but the Phillies act like maybe they aren’t interested in the post season. For a second straight day a Phillies base runner got picked off by the catcher! Then again maybe it makes sense that the runners are falling asleep on base. Think about it. If you are a Phillies base runner you know you are going to be stuck there.

 

Yes the Phillies offense is so dead right now that when the Phillies are up to bat buzzards are circling over head! I heard that the Coroner is going to be called in to declare this team officially dead if they drop the 4th game in a row to the Astros!

 

Phillies starter Roy Halladay once again got th short end of the stick too. Of course he was not as sharp as he usually is either. He gave up 2 HR’s and 3 runs and took the loss.

 

Pitchers	IP	H	R	ER	BB	SO	HR	PC-ST	ERA
R Halladay (L, 16-9)	7.0	6	3	3	0	6	2	73-55	2.22
J Contreras	1.0	0	0	0	0	1	0	14-9	3.27
C Durbin	1.0	0	0	0	0	1	0	16-12	3.64

 

The Offense that was:

 

• 7 Hits

• 2 Walks

• 1 Stupid base running error

• Victorino a hit and a walk

• Polanco a double and an RBI

• Werth a solo HR

• Sweeney a single

• Howard a pinch hit single

• Ruiz a hit

• Halladay a hit

• A pathetic 1 for 4 with men in scoring position. Made more pathetic by the fact that they only had 4 opportunites!

 

 

Today (THURSDAY) is huge. With the Braves having played 1 more game than the Phils today is the equalizer. So by tonight, or early Friday if the game goes like 33 innings, the Phillies wil be either 2 games out or 3!

 

And who is our arm to stop the bleeding? KYLE KENDRICK!  Which Kendrick will it be?  Jekyll or Hyde?
