You have Manny. Don't ever count him out. Plus, the Phillies bullpen sucks.

Ruh roh. 🙁

Ruh roh is right! Tying run is at the plate and nobody seems like they can throw strikes anymore. God, do you bring in Lidge for the 4 out save if Madson gets the 2nd out?

Edit: looks like it.

That would be SO sweet. He's talented, but a meathead, and a Looooooong Time Phillie btw, came to us in a big basket of shite when we were forced to trade Curt Schilling. 🙁

The Phillies let Padilla go for a fungo bat and a bag of balls despite his decent record with them.

There was a reason for that.

yep interesting to see which padilla shows up tomorrow. the mid-upper 90's early phillies pitcher... or the crazy lack of control freak who'll throw at your head if you hit a home run off him. after seeing that game where he tried to plunk the entire angels line-up, think im going to guess the latter will show up.

Like I said, he's facing a lefty dominant lineup and his numbers against lefties are awwwwful.
 
2 Run game now with the heart of the Dodgers lineup coming to the dish.

Man, Phillies pitching has struggled to get that first pitch strike tonight.
 
Here comes Lidge... right? Madsen can't get an out, there's no way they let him face Man-Ram.

Edit: IMO, this is a mistake. Madsen can't find the strike zone, so why are you letting him throw to Manny F-ing Ramirez?

never that

at least I can have some nappy time. That's 4pm here.

EDIT: NEVERMIND!! 4am here!! NO!!! 🙁
 
Good win. The Phils offense was definitely opportunistic. Didn't get a lot of chances, but brought the runners in almost every time.

The pen made it interesting, but got the last out when necessary. Can't wait for tomorrow.
 
same. perhaps he prayed to the baseball gods and asked for talent in exchange that he'll no longer be a dirty pitcher. of course if his first pitch to howard in his next at-bat is at his head or hits him, then i retract my theory.
