2015 Season

not right now we're not. nothing to be tough about - all our teams are sucking

in other news, I just saw that Citizens Bank Park is now serving hard liquor and wine. That should help with our reputation. It will certainly help with watching the game.

We can drink every time the Phils go down in order

when ive gone to philly stadium they gave us a VIP into a restaurant with free drinks and food cuz we knew who the waitress was...

but when we got in the stands...my sis in law got a beer poured on her for wearing a cubs jersey...i wasnt there...so i dono...

you'll find assholes everywhere - not just Philly

personally I've never had a problem; of course being decked out in Phillies gear I probably wouldn't.

the only competitor's stadium I've been too is National's Park but that was before their whole "Natitude" campaign and their boycotting of Philly area ticket buying. We called it "Citizens Bank Park South" back then. It was mostly Phillies' fans.

Texas Tech fans are awful, regardless of the sport, I hate going to Lubbock for games

it is not a good night for baseball

its gray, drizzly and raw. the wind seemed like it was picking up too

I may even get a fire going tonight

So close!

14 scoreless innings and counting

the bats were silent last night, and a crappy night to play ball, still harang pitched pretty dam good. For a second I thought Ramirez was gonna get another grand slam and make it interesting

It sounded like a HR off the bat.

I was really pleasantly surprised at Harang's performance. He struggled in his last Spring outing but he pitched great. He actually looked a little like Halladay used to but I may only have thought that after they mentioned on air that he's 6'7' tall.

David Buchanan pitches tonight - he's a good kid. I'm looking forward to seeing how he handles your offense. Our offense will be a crap shoot. I'm glad we got more hits last night but we only got one good one and from Francouer of all guys.

oh and its as crappy today as it was yesterday weather wise

I lit a fire last night and will probably have another tonight.

Harang pitched great, I thought Porcello was pretty good for the most part, Lets take this rubber match today!

yes, lets!

who is pitching for Boston?


n/m - I heard it was Masterson. I heard he's horrible against lefties so hopefully that helps Utley and Howard get started.

one series in da books, now on to the Yankees and take it from them, and then the home opener Monday. It's supposed to be beautiful monday for the game too

Hopefully open at 4-2 or better

yup, they should be able to beat the yankees, they don't have anything too scary there anymore

I'm looking for from worst to first to worst to first

that'd be quite an accomplishment!

Wouldn't be the first time they pulled it off, I don't want to get too excited after one series but the Sox have the pieces (on offense anyway) to contend

Beating us isn't a good barometer

cubs suck at the bat...bring up Kris Bryant and Addy Russel alreaday...trade Castro and Wellington!

i am loving the batters starting to handle the infield shift more...Rizzo tapped a little grounder down to third cuz they had t he shift and he got on easy....thats professional

The shift absolutely kills Howard. He just can't hit the other way.

Same old inconsistent Bucholz, at least they won the series

in a shocking development - we took 2 of 3 from the Nationals (who are struggling as badly as we are). Their bullpen is terrible.

Our pitching was great really. Lets hope Harang throws like he did last week. We play the Mets at 1.

I think we're going to see less and less of Howard. He struck out 4 times yesterday, at least twice there was a runner on 3rd. He's killing what little offense we have.

Hopefully the Nats continue their struggling ways for this next series, home opener at Fenway!

they're down a couple of guys - they said Werth will be back today but he can be a good out if you pitch him right.

Knock out the starter and get in their pen - that's key.

yeah, like the yankees did to Bucholz yesterday, except by the time they knocked him out they had scored 11 friggin runs


still, they have won two series out of 2 so far, i can't complain too much. It would be nice if we could squeeze a few more american league games into the schedule somewhere

MOOOOOOOOKIIIEEEEEE!!!!!!!


a good game over all, still a little concerned about Porcello giving up dingers, he needs to keep the ball down, but the offense came through again for them and gave him some leeway. now to win today and seal another series win.

my fav thing I read about Mookie yesterday was that he robbed that brat of a HR

I figured you would like that. he's pretty good

yes, I heard a lot about yesterday's game but that's what stuck

I am really liking Mookie, he has more pop in his bat than Ellsbury did. Lets get another series win today!

pretty good centerfielder considering he spent his entire career at second base until the middle of last year

Yeah, not a bad transition.

that's all i want, i don't need 20 game win streaks, though they are great, just win 2-3 against everyone and they will be fine.

If you win every series you win the division

yeah and like 114 games

Sounds good to me!

I'm sure you'll have no trouble winning that many

I would hope for 117, then it would be a record, but with Bucholz as our Ace, that is highly unlikely.

Utley's first hit of the year was a home run against Harvey-right into utley's corner.

Our PITCHER just doubled off of Matt Harvey

so many base runners, so little runs

sure does give up a lot of home runs for a sinker ball pitcher getting 20 million a year

who dat?

we went 1-6 on the road trip

I think we play Miami next - that should be good for them because I hear they're in last place.

rick porcello, he has been giving up dingers at an alarmin rate

so has Hamels

Our stock pile of number 3 pitchers aren't turning out so well, lost our first series of the season

i loved the Royals/A's series lol

did you guys see the chick at the cubs game catch the ball in her cup and then slam her beer..classss!

did you see Lester throw his glove to first cuz the ball was stuck and Rizzo dropped his glove to catch it.....classic lol

not yet, they are playing today, if they win ( up 5-1 with rain coming they are a couple outs of an official game) they will manage a split
