Gay Dame IGT 8/17

[Zvon]

Beltran rips a double down the left field line in the 9th.
He has 4 hits in 5 at bats.
Delgado has 2 homers and a triple (guess that triple stands), but he grounds out here.

Wagner will pitch the 9th in a non save situation.
We all have to agree he needs the work, save situation or not.

A non-save situation!?!?!? Dear God! He could give up fifteen runs in this spot!

sc=49 in honor of Armando Benitez

[MFS62]

They're letting the pitcher bat, down by 5 in the bottom of the 9th??????

Edit: Yahoo was late in making the change. They had Castro batting for the first two pitches of the at-bat.

I hear ya---Yahoo has made a yahoo out of me many times with their inaccurate or tardy info.
Stat-Tracker isnt much better on average-and I pay for that deal.

Just got a report (Comcastsportsnet) that Burrell vetoed a trade to the Orioles before the trade deadline--so i guess someone did want him.

And Charlie Manuel on Maine in the post game:

]"Hes changes speeds well, throws strikes,..moves the ball around-- thats kinda like what he does....."

This game marked Mike Leiberthal's ascenion to #1 in the Phillies' "all-time Games by a catcher" list.

Tom McCarthy remarked this was a record Phillies fans were hoping wouldn't be achieved.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Phillies phans are a tough group. You heard them booing Burrell today.

What's their beef with Lieberthal?

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

He's been injured and lost some effectiveness over the past few years, I guess. He's been paid for his 1999 season over and over again but hasn't replicated it yet and isn't likely to do so.

I remember 1999. That's when Met Maven wanted to get rid of Mike Piazza and trade for Lieberthal in his place.
