Mets have come storming back. It’s up to Jeff Francoeur…
July 28th, 2010 at 9:51 pm
Well, French made an out, but it wasn’t a DP. Not good enough, baseball gods. Not good enough…
July 28th, 2010 at 9:52 pm
very nervous…come on Wags…make me feel better!
July 28th, 2010 at 9:57 pm
Don and Jim have been affected by the heat and/or altitude. Enough about pruntinis. They sound worse than mexidogs.
July 28th, 2010 at 9:58 pm
Mets tied it up.
July 28th, 2010 at 10:00 pm
Deep breath everyone. 3 1/2 lead intact.

Don and Jim are having a rough year. They’re pruntinis and they’re nosethumbing at sabermetrics (they’re right, but they’re doing it wrong…) and so forth are getting out of hand. And complete homerism. Not to mention they get so involved in their “philosophy talk” that they miss counts all the time. Call the game, yo.

YIKES!!! Change BOTH “they’res” to “their.” English Major at your service. Computer is eating my brain.

#177: hilarious.
Wags looked good. A little wild, but he was clearly locating better. And much more confident in his fastball.

Phils now seen as favorites to land Oswalt. Not good. Not good at all.
July 28th, 2010 at 10:16 pm
Anybody else concerned by our 3 run win as the mets are tied with 7 runs? Phillies scored a bunch tonight also.
July 28th, 2010 at 10:19 pm
Mets about to win.
July 28th, 2010 at 10:21 pm
Frenchy with a chance to win it. Oh please don’t let it be
July 28th, 2010 at 10:23 pm
Poor Frenchy looks as confused as ever after he popped up.
July 28th, 2010 at 10:38 pm
Bub, seems to me that Oswalt doesn’t want to play in Philly. I say he rejects the trade. Who’s with me?
July 28th, 2010 at 10:41 pm
I wish A-Rod would hit it already.

Curt,
“•Talks between the Phillies and Astros have intensified in the last day, according to ESPN.com’s Jayson Stark. The clubs have more or less agreed on players – J.A. Happ and prospects would go to Houston – but they can’t agree on how much salary the Astros will absorb. Jayson Werth is off the market, so taking on payroll won’t be easy for the Phils.”
And I’m pretty sure he waffled on the “don’t wanna play there” sentiment when Oswalt sort of “communicated” to him he would be stuck in Houston if he painted them in a corner trying to get to St. Louis.
“•Oswalt is telling friends that he can’t wait to leave Houston, according to Newsday’s Ken Davidoff. The righty says he won’t necessarily insist that teams pick up his 2012 option.”

Some day I write good.

I will say this much, though, if the Phillies lose Happ in this trade, I don’t think the Halladay/Oswalt/Hammels/Blanton/whomever rotation in 2011 will be as horrifying as it would have been with Happ. If they get Oswalt and keep Happ, forget it. Game over. They’d be up around 160 million, nearly doubling the Braves. There’s only so much you can do to overcome that.
*plus or minus whatever they spend to replace Werth, but he’s only making 5 mill this year, so…

Thanks Bub…………………..

^^^^
disregard entire post. Several wrong facts, plus the logic is garbled. To bed.

Nothing between the Phillies and Oswalt but Roy’s “okay.”

This isn’t a good day for the Atlanta Braves.

If the Oswalt deal goes through, this is shaping up to be the most disappointing, heart-wrecking, spirit-sapping development conceivable coming on the heels of a 3.5 game loss of ground in one week, and going into a road series against the Reds.
Hope Wren doesn’t make it worse by spending major farm talent on a minor piece. We have to either let this Philly yankeethon bleed out, or start spending money ourselves.
At a time like this, it’s infuriating that the Braves decided to be so liberal with the Chipper Jones and Derek Lowe contracts just to turn around and jerk the rug out from under the team’s budget.
July 29th, 2010 at 8:52 am
The Phillies are also interested in Jose Bautista.

Today’s lineup (12:35 first pitch): Prado – 2B Infante – RF Chipper – 3B Glaus – 1B Diaz – LF Gonzalez – SS Ross – C Cabrera – CF Lowe – P
Heyward get’s a rest but Glaus doesn’t? He’s not hurt is he?
