Bottom of the 10th, bases loaded, no outs and come away with zippo.

farg this, I'm going surfing.

It's what they do and I'll be damned if they aren't the best team in the league at it either.

Everybody else in the division lost tonight. Must....not....get....hopes...up....

Hey, time for more of

Charlie's deep thoughts!

I missed Utley's homer tonight because I was driving to work. But I got to hear Scott Graham call it and I forgot how FAKE he sounds when calling a game. Jesus, he's annoying.

Anyways, it was excellent to see David Bell ground into a goddamn DP in the 10th. Good job by him, the farg.

Vicente threw well again. The 3 he gave up were via the long ball. One of the HRs was a CBP special and the other would've been outta here in any MLB park.

Cormier? Brutal...again.

Madson? Not much better.

Robinson Tejeda pitches today against Pedro Astacio. The Phils whipped up on Asatcio earlier in the year when he was a Ranger, so they better stick it to him again today.

Watch Tejeda -- he cut his finger opening a can of nectar the other day and it affected him when he was throwing his fastball the other night. Hopefully he'll be able to grip it right today.

Has anyone here ever eaten a can of nectar?

Nice Job Phils!

Is it too much to request a sweep of the Padres?

PhillyGirl · July 23, 2005, 02:10:43 PM

I'm feeling better and better about Padilla.

which means Wade trades him by the deadline.

My neighbors in Texas drank that shtein like it was gold. They were Puerto Rican dudes and they said all spanish folks drank it. They bought it by the caseload. I tasted it once and it was very sweet.

Brett Myers on the mound today to go for the sweep. Drop the hammer on them, Brett. We need this sweep.

Tejeda looked good once again. And once again he played with fire (5 walks) and they didn't hurt him.

QuoteWade looking for help on mound

PHILADELPHIA - With the Phillies still hanging around in the NL East and wild-card standings, all signs point to general manager Ed Wade looking to upgrade before Sunday's July 31 trade deadline.

That means All-Star closer Billy Wagner, the most coveted Phillie, probably isn't headed to the Boston Red Sox, Florida Marlins, Chicago White Sox or any of the other clubs rumored to be in hot pursuit.

The latest rumor, as reported by the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel, has the Marlins acquiring Wagner, either from the Phillies or in a three-team deal that would include the Red Sox. In either trade, the report has the Phillies landing Marlins pitcher A.J. Burnett.

This proposed deal probably has no shot of happening because if the Phillies opt to dump Wagner and his big salary, they'd be looking ahead to 2006, and Burnett, like Wagner, can file for free agency this fall.

What will the Phillies do in the coming week?

Scouts say Wade's No. 1 priority is upgrading the starting rotation.

The Phillies have been monitoring available Pittsburgh right-hander Kip Wells for weeks, but Washington and Anaheim also are in the chase.

Other starting pitchers possibly headed to Philly include San Francisco's Brett Tomko and Kirk Rueter, Los Angeles' Odalis Perez and Jeff Weaver, and Colorado's Shawn Chacon.

The Phillies, league sources say, also would love to get rid of pitcher Vicente Padilla while he's hot. Padilla has followed a half-season's worth of lackluster efforts with three consecutive quality starts, two great outings and a decent third one.

Meantime, the New York Yankees, looking for a center fielder, have Phils' reserve Endy Chavez on their radar as a backup plan, the New York Post reported.

And what about injured first baseman Jim Thome?

Scouts still are saying the Phillies have no chance of dealing Thome due to his big contract, injury problems and no-trade clause.

Regardless, it's likely the Phillies will opt to hold on to hotshot rookie first baseman Ryan Howard, who has been productive while serving as a fill-in for Thome.

The Phils are expected to keep Howard for the rest of the season, then make a decision in the offseason on what to do about first base. Howard still has another minor-league option, so he could end up back in Triple-A again next year.
