Comments on: Phils demoralize Mets, Welcome Red Sox to Philly http://www.reclinergm.com/phils-demoralize-mets-welcome-red-sox-to-philly/ Thu, 09 Feb 2012 03:41:10 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2 By: bski http://www.reclinergm.com/phils-demoralize-mets-welcome-red-sox-to-philly/#comment-17409 bski Sun, 14 Jun 2009 22:18:45 +0000 http://www.reclinergm.com/?p=6182#comment-17409 At least we were able to pull out a win today.  It wasn't looking so good after that 4-run 2nd inning by Boston.  Then they came right back in the top of the 3rd and had a chance to really open it up.  Good to see Happ prevent things from blowing apart there. We got to Beckett pretty good.  Can't figure out for the life of me why he pitched to Howard in the 5th with 2 outs, a base open , and Werth due up next, but I'm glad he did.  A mistake with a fastball turned into a 2-run single that Howard hammered through the shift to give us the lead. (Beckett kind of made up for it by hitting a home run in the top of the 6th, ugh.) That 7th inning was a disaster for the Sox.  Rollins' home run off Beckett, 4 walks, a hit batter, and on and on it went.  Bard wasn't sharp at all and Saito was all over the place.  Great to see us make them pay and put the game away. Since Santana got shellacked today we picked up the game we lost yesterday and still have a 4 game lead over the Mets. Gotta play better against the Jays and the Orioles and win both of those series this week.

We still believe in you, Kyle, just keep working on your secondary pitches. Think he knows he's got basically no shot at making it back to the majors with the Phils?

Jerry brought K-Rod in too early in game two and he had to go 2 innings, eventualiy losing the game and leaving the mets without their closer for the 3rd game. Charlie waited in game two to go to Madson to "close" out the victory, and had him to close again in game three. To me Jerry as much as the players blew the series. Thanks Jerry, no wonder your team chokes. You are the leader! What I took from the mets series is how Charlie outmanaged Jerry.
