Wow what a tough loss lastnight and such a hard pill to swallow. \u00a0Our starting pitchers are starting to come around and show some potential. \u00a0But our bull-pen needs a swift kick in the rear. \u00a0As suspected Blanton came on and gave a SOLID performance. \u00a0Going 7 strong innings only giving up 6 hits and a homer from our old pal Mr. Pat the Bat Burrell, which was a 2 run shot. \u00a0Other then that he walked 2 batters but striking out 10. \u00a0For the longest time in this game I really thought it was going to come down to the wire. \u00a0In that 7th inning when we were keeping it close then Werth cracked a homer I thought this is going to come down to the end and were going to pull it out. \u00a0I’m sure many of you were thinking that too. \u00a0Then “IT” happened……our “magical” bull-pen from last year came onto the field. \u00a0J.C. who was so money last year came in the game in the 8th inning to breeze right through it and whoops… not the case he hit a batter then ended up giving up 3 runs. \u00a0So Charlie (bobble head) came out and put Chan Ho in. \u00a0And Chan Ho did not do much better. \u00a0Back to back hits allowed the Rays to bring in 2 more runs. \u00a0Such a-shame because if you watched this game it was such a great CLOSE game until the 8th inning. \u00a0After that its like we opened the Flood Gates for the Rays to come right in. \u00a0Man I keep saying it but we need Lidge back healthy and Madson as the setup man again. \u00a0We clearly see Madson is not ready for that closer role yet. \u00a0Hes way too young and just not there yet mentally either.<\/p>\n
Phills, you let one squeek away we had that game for the taken. \u00a0Its hard to watch them right now, I’m not going to lie, but I am totally faithful and loyal that they will turn it around ten-fold!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
