MLB 2013

5-11: Philadelphia's record in games started by Cole Hamels, Roy Halladay and Cliff Lee.

7-3: Philadelphia's record in games started by Kyle Kendrick, John Lannan and Jonathan Pettibone.



You have to think they can turn THAT around

shit if they were 500, you would be doing just fine

tonight can be the night *crosses fingers*

Well, Halladay got slaughtered last night. Not to be outdone, Durbin gave up several runs as well. I think its time to put the Durbin experiment to rest - he's yet to have a good outing.

Go Cliff Lee


Delmon Young homered in his first at bat, then got hit by a pitch and singled. Not too shabby.

sox got beat, tokk the lead in the 7th after being behind all game, then gave it back in the bottom of the seventh, and then another run in the 8th.

on the plus side big papi had another good game with a double homer and 4 rbi.
he has 11 RBI in like 8 games

Yea, Papi has played great since he returned, I really wanted them to win last night, it would have been their most wins in April ever.

Tigers take another one....even tho Verlander was mediocre (for him), it was enough..

Ouch to the Phillies, Blondie...damn Ryan Raburn, Tigers spent years trying to get him to blossom, finally let him go, and he starts banging HR's for Cleveland...

yeah well

I guess Roy will have outings like that. I guess no one told Chooch that his cutter doesn't work anymore.

The Nats lost again too so we remain 1 behind them. Some one has to stop Atlanta

I did too, I thought they were gonna pull it out when they scored 3 in the 7th to take the lead, tazawa had one bad pitch, but Hanrahan continues to be unimpressive,

Yea, he looked good against the Yanks, and that was about it. Bailey has looked great in the closer roll though.

yeah he has been solid, hopefully Bucholz will keep up his performance and we win tonight.

I'm going over to a friends house tonite to finish up a basement rec room a I wired for him. I am gonna watch the game on his ginormous 80 inch LED TV he just got hooked up, in 7.1 surround sound

Sweet, it will be like being there.

I will watch online as I always do when they aren't aired nationally.

He has a kegerator full of fresh beer, i hope he doesn't charge me 10 bucks for a glass The batters are gonna look like giants

I had a kegerator once, it got me into a lot of trouble.

Clay Buchholz looking to become MLB’s 1st 6-game winner tonight. He owns best ERA in history of Rogers Centre @ 1.67

he is nearly unhittable, his change up is one of the best i've ever seen.
and napoli can hit a little.

Great night for Boston sports, celtics and bruins win playoff games and the sox win 10-1.

I hope the Celtics throw the series right back in the Knicks' face....showing up in funeral clothes was low class....to say nothing of premature...

the next game is in Boston, if they take that one, watch the knicks fold.

It will be so sweet to watch another boston team come back from a 0-3 deficit against a NY team. I don't like the Knicks, really don't care for carmelo anthony.

I said the same thing to a friend last night, I am not a Celtic fan, but I always pull for Boston over New York, regardless of the sport.

oh and 15-20 strippers too

2-1, a good outing from dempster, and the pen did it's job again.

hopefully bailey isn't hurt bad, I am less than impressed with hanrahan to this point and don't like the thought od depending on him to close for an extended period.

20-8 best record, 9-3 on the road, also the best reacord

We're better than Miami

if you sweep, you will be over 500 right?/ you have 3 more with them this weekend??


you're only a couple games out of second place, and 4.5 out of first, just keep wining series and you;'ll be back in

last night was 1 of 4 and if we sweep them I think we end exactly .500

then to Arizona and San Fran - neither are particularly good for us

but maybe if they use Miami as a starting point, they can pick it up.

The good news is Howard hit another HR, as did Dom so maybe the offense will get started - finally.

The pitching is really concerning though - Kyle Kendrick is our current ace

halladay has to have some kind of problem he been getting shelled, but lee and hamels will come around.

Halladay is going to be like Kendrick used to - great at times but subject to getting killed when he's not 100%.

I can't complain about Lee - he's had 1 bad outing. Hamels is better too - just not getting run support again.

older teams take some time to get rolling, hopefully a good weekend and then a respectable raod trip and you'll be in the thick of things.


The sox are headed out to texas, we'll see if their pitching can hold up against their lineup, and then to Minnesota.

I'm trying to keep an open mind but you know that goes against all my training as a Philly fan

yes, just as i am trying to not get too excited about how well the sox have been playing, there is a part of me that is just waiting for it all to fall apart

Tigers pull one out in 14...good for them, but it WAS Houston - sorry Rob They deserved to get burned though, walking two intentionally to get to Andy Dirks, he's their secret weapon Another decent outing for Porcello 7 innings, 3 runs, 7 SO, no walks

cubs doing something right...

WTH? WHy wasn't that tarp right up against the wall???

I was pissed yesterday, that was a game they should have won, but Buch is pitching tonite, and they should take this game. texas is a good team, and i would have been happy with 1 win.

In the "tell me something I don't know" department, Roy Halladay will be heading to the DL with shoulder soreness.

What pisses me off the most, is that the company line this WHOLE TIME has been "oh he's fine, we're really encouraged, the last bullpen session was good".

I guess since our 4-5 starters are having the most success, it probably will be good to see another one of them in the rotation.

Well

Tigers had a VERY good weekend in Houston - sorry Rob I'm sure it wasn't enjyable for you...they sweep the 4 game set with the Astros, outscoring them by some silly number like 37-8...they played the first two pretty close, but Sat and Sun were total blowouts....in a way too bad they're off today, you want to keep a hot team going...

yeah i imagine it was atough weekend for you.


now for Bucholz and whatever that magic shit on his arm is to pitch another beauty tonite

not sure how the Cards have the best record in the NL with the mess of a bullpen that we have but I'll take it. Of course the Giants are right there...
