the funny thing is they have had almost everything go wrong this season (except the beast bautista)
and they are still .500
morrow missed the first part of the season
snider (the future) horrible start got sent down
davis missed like 15 games (steals pretty much everytime he's on base)
bautista missed 20% of the season so far
cecil lost his velocity now in AAA (15 game winner last year)
fransisco missed like 3+ weeks
hill hurt again
lind was on fire now he's missed almost 2 weeks
thats all i can think of right now
but mabey they can make some noise when healthyComment -
their pitching staff is just toooooo goodComment -
phillies stinkComment -
could be an ugly night... high school team vs the cards... polanco and victorino both out along with the others...its like watching little leagueComment -
ya but against westbrook you guys should pull this 1 offComment -
yea could def use it... if he gives up more then a couple runs to this team right now--basically howard vs all... he doesnt deserve to be a major league pitcherComment -
I don't care what line-up the Phillies put out there One run off Jake Westbrook that is buckin pathetic.Comment -
who is still sitting on top of the standings since your such a smart guy beerman? same team that is sitting there every october right? werent you making these same retarded comments last may? this team was without 4 of their top 5 hitters tonight. Take the top four out of the cards lineup tonight it would have been a battle to score 2 runs first hahaComment -
another 1 run performance by the phillies
Comment -
dlunc23 stuck on stupid son. What Utley and Victorino out calm down kid Braves will be in first soon. Braves vs Phillies offense when Phillies healthy Braves better offense. Starting Pitching slight advantage Phillies. Bullpens Huge advantage Braves. Bench Braves so shut ur mouth Phillies fan its ok son its over for the old old Phillies
Comment -
Same team sitting on top of standings every October the Phillies since when son? How many division championships did the Braves win in a row son? Good god Dlunc lets not get carried away about the Phillies. Yeah have had a decent run recently but the Braves have owned the Phillies for alot of years kid.
Comment -
are we talking about the 90's? or recent history? And please dont say slight advantage phillies in pitching--lets not get carried away after a month and a half of good pitching by the braves. In a 7 game series, 1-4 any baseball mind would take the phills pitcher over the braves.. pretty sure 4 out of 4 is more then a slight advantage. With a big game on the line, this young braves pitchers cant really compare quite yet to the veteran experienced arms on the phills.. in a few years from now you might be right, but right now after a month and a half, dont try to say its close. Where the bats are concerned, phills are better at the 1 spot, 2 spot is close, we'll give it to braves though, 3 spot, 4 spot, 5 spot is close again, but we'll say braves. and then 6-8 ill say braves right now, but with dom brown coming in (who if you remember- better prospect then heyward) and mayberrry now in the lineup with ruiz at 8, it is pretty close. So dont get too carried away ok? When healthy, bastardo, madson and lidge/contaras are good enough to get the job done. Phills havent blown a lead after leading in the 9th all year (but I wont judge after a month and a half of baseball like you), but yes, I will give the braves the advantage. And braves definately have the better bench.
So, what we have is-- phills have superior starting pitching and superior top of the order in the lineup. Braves have (for now) better back of the order, bull pen and bench.. Pretty sure id take the starting pitching and top of the order to go along with the postseason experience

I'm a red sox fan living right outside Philadelphia. Trust me, I've been to enough games in Fenway Park and Citizens Bank/The Vet to be able to compare. Phillies fans are definitely worse. Obviously your not going to admit your fans are right down there with Yankees fans because your bias. Yes, Sox fans are bad but not nearly as bad as Philly.Comment -
They still are the cream of the nl, maybe both leagues, some of these teams are sub 500 because the phillies beat em up. Atl is tough tooComment -
its funny you keep saying brown was a better prospect then heyward (as of 2009)

that was a copy and paste sorry it looks like shit
but brown was 24th
heyward was 1
starusburg wasnt drafted yet so thats why he isnt on there i guessComment -
Brown was #1 on the 2010 list. And heyward was #1 on the 09 list. I'm not saying he will be better.. I only hope he is as good as heyward.. but he should be considered at least a threat (not Ben fransisco like you are seeing now) since they were similar coming in.Comment -
Ryan Madson = STUD
strikes out gonzo tulo and giambi to end the game
Comment -
when the get healthy they will have no problem winning the pennant....Comment -
this is the list i was going by... maybe im wrong? either way, def. a top prospect who could make a huge impact on this team that is having trouble hitting the ball right now...as heyward did for the braves

what year is thatComment -
it was from 2010Comment -
Phillies fan here and I can admit the Phillies are overrated, they have 4 aces and their offense is nonexistent. Granted, we have some injuries to the lineup but even when everyone is healthy, they are all getting older and declining. This is all that is being talked about on sports radio, some are ready to admit it but I think it will take a few more weeks of this for everyone to realize it.
Having said that, come Playoff time, I do like our chances in a 5 and 7 game series. (That's if we make the Playoffs, if we keep playing like we are it will be tough but I do think we'll turn it around) I do think we'll make a move by the trade deadline to pick up a bat and hope that helps enough to turn it around.
As far as Phillies fans vs. Red Sox fans... this isn't even a fair question. For years, Phillies fans weren't even at the games, those that were at the stadium were families who wouldn't dare go to an Eagles game because their kid might get a beer spilled on them. Flyers games are too expensive so they're filled with a bunch of suits. Sixers games were cool but once AI and Pat Croce left, who cares. This left the Phillies games, most fans were and still are families... especially since the new stadium. So I strongly disagree, Red Sox fans are much worse... that silly accent is enough to drive you insane!!

i think it was from following the 2010 season... so a 2010 list going into the 2011 season... heyward and strausburg were already in the bigs....
