[TruffleShuffle]

[TruffleShuffle]

i wonder how many people at the game are watching/listening to the flyers game. was there just a random cheer like 3-4 minutes ago?

[erik316wttn]

Howard K's!

[Rob]

25 pitches or so, but no damage.

The Phillies pulled a Cubs that inning.

[PrimeTime]

Z and Soto :thumbsup:

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

So freaking huge!

 

Now, let's show Myers what it feels like to be his wife.

[CubsGM]

DeRosa pulls a Theriot

[SABR Gamer]

"* He gave up the longest home run in US Cellular Field history of 504 feet hit by Joe Borchard."

 

Myers sucks at life.

[chuckywang]

Soto is slumping. 0-2 in his last 2 AB's.

[weis21]

I feel like theriot has been much more patient since being benched/lowered in the order this past week. I wonder if it's a coincidence or if he's changed his approach a bit?

[Rob]

"* He gave up the longest home run in US Cellular Field history of 504 feet hit by Joe Borchard."

 

Myers sucks at life.

 

To be fair, Joe Borchard does have a lot of raw power.

 

On the other hand, I'm pretty sure he's blindfolded at the plate most of the time.

[Andy]

I'm waiting for Z to be a good hitter again.

Flyers game is blacked out for me. Just awful, considering it is the playoffs.

[Garage Party]

Hey, nice play by Theriot to get Burrell out.

 

Shoot, I forgot Jenkins is a Phillie now.

[Rob]

I'm waiting for Z to be a good hitter again.

 

It's gonna be hard now that everybody actually bothers to pitch to him like a real hitter, instead of just lobbing some fastballs up there like they do against most pitchers.

[Garage Party]

Nice quick inning. We need more of those nice quick innings to preserve the tattered bodies of our bullpen.

[chuckywang]

Game Thread is really quiet without Fred

[Andy]

Phillies color guy made a good point - Z's velocity is down but he's way more under control. "He looks like a different pitcher."

 

Credit Rothschild for that, I suppose. Z's been fantastic so far in 08.

[C.C.]

Whoa! Wait a sec...I left my car and it was 1st and 3rd and nobody out in the bottom of the 1st. How in the hell did Z get out of it? I guess I can just check gamecast...

We also don't have any ongoing jokes happening at the moment. Otherwise, every other wiseass on this board would be contributing to the joke.

Strike-em-out-throw-em-out and then another strikeout.

Strike em out throw em out double play, then another strike out.

[Outshined_One]

I'm guessing Dusty will get booed mercilessly in his forthcoming return to Wrigley.
