The Phillies quest to repeat as World F---ing Champions discussion

Not a great start so far.

I am predicting that Florida will give us trouble this year. They have spoiled the Mets playoff hopes the last day of the season for the past two years.

Good win tonight. Hopefully this will get the ball rolling a bit.

Lidge scared me for a second, but getting that first save was great. Looks like the Braves are gonna do some damage this year.

Dead at 73. Between his passing, and the fact that Joe Morgan is still on the air, this has been a horrendous year for sports broadcasting.

I'm still near-tears, been that way practically all day. I grew up hearing his voice on hot, mid-summer Sunday afternoons....all my life he was a fixture.

A legend that will be missed forever. Rest in Peace.

Tough game. Madson and Lidge aren't the sure thing they were last year, and Lidge blows his first save in 48 tries. This doesn't by any means spell disaster, but it shows that the guys have to work out some early season kinks.

I'm glad we're hitting though, and Ibanez is looking spectacular.

Rendell and Harry's son's speeches were really good. Crazy seeing them drive him out of the field in a hearse. It was like a religious mass.

I sure hope Lidge doesn't morph into "ohnopujolsjusthita600foothomerunoffme"-Lidge again.

But so far this season has all the makings of a championship hangover.

What a great game. Some shaky defense from Ibanez, but he's on a tear to open the season at the plate.

Allow me to channel my inner Duke Fleed...

It looks like the Phillies have...WALKED OVER the Mets at this critical game 2 of the three game series. The Flying Hawaiian...Shane VICTORino...Really flew to first base when he was walked in the bottom of the 9th.

Beating the Yankees kicks ass. I was in New York for all three games...

-Lidge needs to go back to the minors or get replaced by Durbin as closer while hanging back in the bullpen. We could have swept this series.

-John Mayberry jr. seems to me that he could be a possible replacement for Werth or Victorino if we decide to trade for a starting pitcher.

-Happ is already an improvement over Park

It's alright, we won the World Series and they didn't. Bastardo is gonna be lights-out tomorrow against them, we'll split the series 2-2.

I can't believe how lucky we have been with our rookies so far this year.

Happ replacing Chan Ho Park
Antonio Bastardo replacing an DL-ed Bret Meyers

John Mayberry Jr showed us during that one Yankee game the he would make an acceptable replacement if we have to trade Victorino or Werth for another pitcher

Down 4-1 against the Mets at the bottom of the 6th. Damn. Why didn't hamels pitch last night? That way we would have him against the Sox on Sunday.

Its a shame about Lidge, but what could you do? We could have been up 5 games going into the Mets series.

This is fucking ridiculous. Has there ever been such a lopsided road vs. home record? How can such a powerful lineup be so consistently awful in one of the most hitter-friendly parks in baseball? What the motherfuck is wrong with our pitching?! WHY DO I WANT CHAN HO FUCKING PARK TO BE OUR CLOSER?!

This team makes my brain hurt.

24 wins on the road, the most of any team in the major leagues. The Angels have the best road record in the AL and they only have 18 away game wins.

Our home record is on par with the Nats. YIKES.

Someone checked the schedule for the World Series if it was NY/Phila. If it happens, there's a day when a Giant/Eagles game will be the soon follwed by a Yankees/Phillies game in South Philadelphia.

I'm curious if they would some alter that because it is asking for trouble.

Getting waaaay ahead of yourselves there fellas. We have no closer. As good as Lidge was last year, he's been just as bad this year.

We would be a lock if it weren't for the closer situation. We might have to put Pedro, Meyers, or even Chan Ho Park into an audition for the position during the next 6 weeks.
