He's a good guy. (on edit, Manuel)

Meanwhile, our lead is evaporaBOOMing.

Cuz Eveland isn't available and Utley has 2 HRs off of Edgin including a recent GS.

[Edgy MD]

Ump missed strike three at the knees.

[Edgy MD]

Woosh!

Phew!

[Edgy MD]

Get Ned Ryerson on the line, because I'm looking to buy some insurance.

[Frayed Knot]

That E by Wilmer really screws things up (not that the three hits which followed were damaging too)
- But Black was about to get out of the 7th with a low pitch count (got the first 2 outs on 3 pitches) so Terry either could have either hung with him for the 8th or went to Edgin for the LHBs in the middle of the order
- Now, with Familia not available today, he's got to find an 8th inning bridge to Mejia

[Edgy MD]

Assuming Mejia can answer the bell.

Murph's Rod Carew act is fun, but he's got to pull a ball or two per series to keep teams honest.

No insurance. DAMMIT, RYERSON!!

[Edgy MD]

I'd like to thank Ryne Sandberg for sending lefties up for the first two batters while Ruiz and Byrd cool their heels on the bench.

[Edgy MD]

Josh Edgin, today you became a man.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Nice work by Edgin

[Edgy MD]

Super-nice.

Meanwhile, this has to be the first-ever two-hit game for den Dekker.

Would like to see Ruben out there in the ninth, but I don't think that's part of the plan.

[Edgy MD]

Shoulda left Edgy in there to face Asche.

[Zvon]

Phils views make it look like it was a fair ball. SNY?

[Edgy MD]

Blub.

[Zvon]

damn.

[Frayed Knot]

Mejia has given up hits to 40% of the batters he's faced lately: 12 hits in (including Revere & Rollins) his last 30 hitters faced over 6 outings.

SNY didn't have a good angle. They are likely using the cameras to find more ex-Phillies to interview.

[Edgy MD]

Nuttin' getting by Utley today.

[Zvon]

fuck

And now we can expand that list to his last 13 outings where he's blown three saves, lost twice, and had a clean 1-2-3 inning just twice.
This all goes back to pre-ASB that the bad outings have vastly outnumbered the good.

This game sucked ass. Crappy ass, not the nice ass.

Nice ass rarely gets sucked in a baseball sense.

First thing to make me laugh since this game ended.

[Zvon]

Ugh, how do we let the Phils do that to us? That's a dead team walking. And another walk off loss. Pretty shitty.

[Edgy MD]

1) Flores' defense.
2) Not sticking with the hot lefty to go after Asche.
3) Duda failing to guard the line.

[ashie62]

Play to win Terry...

[Lefty Specialist]

I dunno, but it seems like this team has had more than its share of nut-punch losses since, say, mid-2007. And a fair amount of THOSE have been to these Phillies.

Just when it seems like they're turning a corner, WHAM! NUTPUNCH!!!!!

Probably not the best choice of words.

Your meaning was clear. The sucking shone through.
