Flyers, Phils, Derby, Fight
Talk about a sports Saturday.
Leo and I will be heading down to the ballpark for our first game today. Hopefully the Phils can wake up from their most embarrassing loss of the year last night and come out to play. Good news: Halladay’s on the mound. Bad news: Phils still can’t hit.
I leave you with this…
Baseball’s Most Hated Team: The Indians?
According to this article, the Cleveland Indians are the most despised team in all of baseball. Which, of course, is true…until you get to the second half of the movie and the Indians start winning and everyone starts xoxo’ing them.
Wait, we’re not talking about Major League? I don’t understand.
D-Backs win finale, take series
This was a bad series for the Fightins.
Arizona is a middle of the pack team..when fully healthy, and they’re currently without two all-stars in Edwin Jackson and Brandon Webb. On top of that, two of the three starting pitchers this series were former Phils (Kris Benson & Rodrigo Lopez), with the former not even being able to crack our 25 man roster in 2008 and the latter being used as a spot starter in 2009. For the D-Backs, well they’re the 3rd and 4th starters, obviously!
There were not many positives in this series. Hamels went back to giving up long balls after his stellar outing last week, Kendrick went from 8 scoreless in Atlanta to letting Arizona have a 5 spot in the 5th, our offense continues to still sputter, and the bullpen cannot sustain any form of consistent pitching.
The Phils have a moderately difficult schedule coming up with the Giants, Mets (they’re playing better!), Cardinals, Braves, and Rockies. In the beginning of the year, and still my opinion now, I have the Cardinals winning the Central, Rockies winning the West, and the Braves/Giants taking the Wild Card. We’ll see how it all pans out, but there’s no denying these are the upper echelon teams in the National League.
On an unrelated note, you are a giant dick, Mark Teixeira. Grow some balls and learn to get hit by a pitch without acting like a pansy.
Someone’s got a calling…
Phils win 7-4. Hamels gives up 4 early and Phils strike back with 7 straight. 6-1, baby.
Screw the Yankees
Regardless of the fact that this is a Red Sox fan, you’ll enjoy. Fav part is from 1:00 – 1:15.
