Phillies vs. Manny (bad act) Ramirez and the LA Dodgers
The Phillies are out west in Dodgerland after a tremendous win on
Sunday in a game that felt like it took forever to play with the 1:47
rain delay right from the scheduled start time of 1:35pm yesterday.
The team needed Chase Utley to snap out of his hitting funk, he sort of
did with the homerun that sealed the Phillies victory but I hope that’s
the start of Utley getting hot again. He seemed to have a lot on his
mind as he came up to bat yesterday at Citizens Bank Park.
Meanwhile, the Mets and the Marlins get a double dose of losing today
and it puts a little distance between the first place Phillies if the
Phillies can come up with a couple wins in LA, namely winning tonight
the first game on Monday August 11.
Is the Phillies still a
powerhouse playoff team, I am not that convinced that they are. They
have been winning but not in a convincing fashion. They have sputtered
terribly offensively lately and have sputtered a number of times this
year for unknown reasons. It just seems that they are not all that
happy as a team out there sometimes.
The 1993 team had fun
along the way, this team seems uptight about something, there are some
really long faces out there perhaps the team should start watching the
Phanatic and just relax a little and have some fun.
The Dodgers are now home for a 10 game homestand with the Phils coming in for the first three of them.
Game One vs LA:
PHI: Kendrick (10-5, 4.37 ERA)
LAD: Lowe (8-10, 4.10 ERA)

Phillies didn’t get Manny – that’s great news
If the Phillies somehow traded anyone for Manny Ramirez, I would have seriously considered not going to another Phillies game this year and even more about being a fan of the team. Manny is not funny anymore, he’s pathetic. Such a whiny player who isn’t concerned about ‘team’ play, he is only concerned about himself.
He may be a future Hall of Famer, I don’t know, but his antics are way too much for any normal team to deal with. In a way, LA is a perfect place for him. There are plenty of bad actors in LA, and he’s now one of them. His style and caliber is something the Phillies and the fans didn’t need. Pat, you said where would we put him, if the Phillies signed him? How about a dunk tank out on Ashburn Alley and have the kids try to sink this clown!
Game two with the Cards tonight, Phillies look to even up with them, Go Blanton!
Phillies stand ‘Pat’ again, who cares about Manny ??
The Phillies seemed like they may make a move, there was some
indication from GM Pat Gillick, but that ended up to be all smoke and
mirrors as the Phillies didn’t make any moves at the end of the trade
deadline. Does this team have what it takes to go to the next level?
The way they are playing now it sure seems like it, but they missed a
chance to go further into a position that will take them deeper in the
playoffs, if they make it in.
Plans were announced that the
Phillies were looking, but nothing came of this in the final day of the
trading bonanza that some teams participated in.
Who
would want a guy like Manny Ramirez? He shows no class to a city and
team that paid him millions to play baseball only to act like a total
a$$hole and embarrass himself in the process. I don’t care if the guy
hits 50 homeruns a year, he’s got no class and I hope Phillies fans
greet him with a round of boos to let him know what kind of a guy he
really is!
He may have Hall of Fame numbers, but no one with
that kind of stats should go around and try to be bigger than baseball,
he’s got no class and it shows! Booooooooooo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
