Official Philadelphia Phillies Thread

The only home runs they seem to be reviewing are the ones that are hitting the top of the fence type deals. Not sure if I've seen a foul poul one so far this year.

They've reviewed foul calls twice at Fenway this year, so they can do it. But both didn't get changed, just cause those ones are nearly impossible to tell.

God damn do the Phillies suck cock right now.

At this point I don't even wanna talk about them, they are just playing like shit.

June is, seemingly every year, the worst month to be a Phillies fan. And they just flat out STINK at home thus far this season. Have they won a single home series against a team not named the Nationals? I really can't think of one. The bullpen is wiped out, the starting pitching has pretty much stunk, and we don't have a consistent closer (when Madson is on, he looks filthy, but he's looked shaky at times lately). Not only that, but throw in the Ibanez DL and the fact that this team has to score 8+ runs just to remain in the game, let alone win it, and it's all a huge recipe for frustration.

Memo to Phillies fans:

Your team fucking blows.

Get a bullpen that can hold a goddamn lead.

 

[mobbdeep1122]

Well, they've hit rock bottom. The pitching finally comes through, and they get 1 run. If they hit and score 7 runs, they give up 8.

June is the worst month for the Phillies. They're good for 2 of these kind of streaks per season. I expect another one once they get their shit straightened out from this horrible stretch.

6 straight losses? Swept by the Orioles?

BOOOOOM!

Yeah teams don't get into slumps. By the way J-Roll was beyond safe today.
Oh and O's are beyond 500 and we are still in first in our division.

I don't give a shit, you guys are 0-3 against us this season.

 

[Obst]

Hey if beating us without or two best players on offense in June makes you feel good then ok. Atleast our team knows what the post season feels like.

 

[mobbdeep1122]

LOL @ Orioles fans talking shit.....




Orioles....lol. Gotta suck knowing every baseball season is over before Memorial Day.

In their defense, they are all exhausted for the most part. The Red Sox series was a nightmare for them, and it's been pretty much the same since. It's really been the starting pitching that has killed them consistently this season.

Yesterday's game was irritating to say the least. I don't like saying that one blown call caused a loss, but in this case it's at least arguable. JRoll was safe, and likely would have scored on the Victorino double, tying it up. Doesn't mean that they'd win, but it was certainly a blown call, and you hate to see a potential run taken away by something like that.

Either way though, June is just infuriating as a Phils fan. I knew this was going to happen though. They win the WS last year and they're expected to stay hot all season. This is a team that stinks in the month of June, period, like clockwork. The same thing happened last year. Once Ibanez comes back and Howard shakes the Swine Flu, hopefully they'll hit a hot streak during July. At least we can say this: the team has been monstrous on the road.

Yep...everything in this post is truth. You can't expect any team to play .650 baseball all season.

And thank God they're road record is that good or we'd really be in trouble.

 

[BWEISS]

I'd be mad if I was an Orioles fan... now that the Rays aren't terrible, they're looking at the bottom of the division for the next few years

 

[Leftwich]

I live for the shit talking. You think I don't know my team sucks dick? But you guys do know you were the first team we swept on the road since 2007. I'll continue to talk shit cause I'm the biggest Orioles Homer you'll ever see.

 

[Obst]

I'm the biggest Orioles Homer you'll ever see.

Ah I feel your pain.

David Murphy and Rich Hoffman, both of the Philadelphia Daily News, believe the Phillies need pitching. Phillies GM Ruben Amaro Jr. seems to agree with them. But, as Scott Lauber of the News Journal reports, there's very little pitching available.
"No one's out there dealing anybody or wanting to part with anybody because the pitchers who are available are one, hurt, and two, pitching for teams that don't think they're out of the race yet," Amaro said. "I know because I've asked about every one of them."

Starting pitching remains Amaro's "main focus" even though pitchers who were expected to be available like Jake Peavy, Erik Bedard, Jason Marquis, Brad Penny, Aaron Harang and Bronson Arroyo are either contributing to pennant races or injured.


Now I'm starting to lose hope.

 

[mobbdeep1122]

Yeah, there's not much available in terms of starters. Too many teams still in the race. I wish the Giants would start to suck again so they can be out of the race and we can go after Matt Cain. It'd probably take a shit load to get him, but he'd be the hard throwing righty we need in this rotation.

For now though, we just have to work with what we got and hope for the best.

 

[mobbdeep1122]

LOL - Go figure, they go on the road and win big. Unbelievable.
