  • When healthy, Carlos Beltrán is awesome.

  • Cliff Lee still pitching in the 10th inning of a 0-0 game. God the Phils offense is putrid (granted Matt Cain is very good as well).

    Just finished the inning now. 10 full innings; haven't seen that for a while around these parts.

    I remember, years ago now, watching Mark Mulder (Cards) outduel Roger Clemens (Astros) 1-0, Mulder pitched all 10.

    Hell of a pitching matchup there.

    Lee got pulled for a pinch hitter with a man on 3rd and one out. Of course the Phils leave him stranded. 10 innings, 102 pitches (81 strikes), 7 k's, 0 bb's. Not a bad line right there.

  • And the Phils lose on an error in the 11th. 1-0. Wasted effort by Cliff.

  • I'm really beginning to feel bad for this stellar pitching staff. They have NO offense to help them out, even a little bit. gun

    Hoping for a Phils Cards matchup in October with you not making fun of the Phils.

    The deal ends after the regular season. Also when they play during the season I will be removing myself from this thread for fear of wins or losses.

    This is where I would then insert something about the Phils chances at October.

    That's cool, the Phils will just beat the Cards easily in the playoffs and you won't have anything to say anyway. (this is too easy when you're defenseless).

    It's gonna be a long season for y'all.

    Other than Pence y'all have no legitimate threat.

    Who do y'all think you trade for at the deadline? And who do you give up? If I was a Phil's guy I'd try and trade Dom Brown ASAP while he has any value left.

    I'm just hoping Utley and Howard come back soon and are healthy enough to make a difference.

    Howard isn't coming back any time soon, sorry.

    Regardless of how good they are now, Utley and Howard are getting old anyway, and have in all likelihood passed their prime already. Phils need to get younger pretty soon, to take advantage of the ridiculous starting pitching y'all have again.

    Is it just me or did the entire NL get worse this off season?

    I don't think so. Nats got better, be interesting what the Giants and Diamondbacks do. You just don't pay much attention. Really you could argue that Texas got worse, but I wouldn't because I don't just look at names but how the teams are built.

  • I admittedly don't pay much attention to the NL, got me there. I appreciate the baseball and think its funny when pitchers strike out, but it doesn't effect my Rangers very often so I don't really go out of my way to watch it.

    You could, and I think we did on paper. CJ was a good pitcher, and the best we had last year. We don't have a reliable closer either, which is annoying. I feel like this team has the potential to be better than last years, with Leonys Martin being a possible upgrade over Gentry and Murph, (although he will probably play CF when he gets called up because of his range). Neftali has a world of upside as a starter. Other than that, just another year older for Cruz, Hamilton, Napoli, and Young.

    Does hamilton's injury history worry you? And how do you really feel about your pitching staff, honestly.. Kudos on the thrashing of the sux, I love when they lose.. Tougher test tho coming up.. You got to play the TIgers, then the Yanks.. Should be a fun week..
