So we lose as a team except for Charlie

Watching Qualls in his Yankee debut. He just struck out Upton.

Fire Doobie.

given the choice between Jeter and Rollins in their primes, I take Rollins every time

In his 5 best years, Rollins' average WAR was 5.4. In Jeter's 5 best years, his average WAR was 6.64.

I'll take Rollins defense/base running over whatever WAR has to say about it

Mayberry better hit like 3 bombs tonight to honor Andy Griffith.

please use this for the game thread post

needs more protesters

what I'm saying is, fuck the Yankees and fuck Jeter Rollins is awesome

Rollins is probably my favorite position player to watch

Rube Frank bringing the numberz:

-- The Phils are on pace to become the first team in MLB history to win 100+ in a season and lose 90+ the next. (The most losses is 83 by the '71 Reds)
-- Besides the '71 Reds, only 4 other teams have ever won 100+ in a season and had a losing record the next: 1918 White Sox, 1932 Cardinals, 1986 Cardinals and 1994 Giants.
-- A 30-win drop from 102 to 72 would be the largest since the Marlin firesale of 1998 (92 to 54).
-- Chooch's .356 is the highest Phillie BA after 81 games since Ashburn in 1951 (.359) and the highest Phillie catcher BA after 81 games since Spud Davis in 1931 (.368).
-- Only 3 catchers in MLB history hit .350+ and 20+ HRs in the same season: Bill Dickey in 1936, Piazza in 1997 and Mauer in 2006.
-- Vida Blue in 1983 is the only pitcher to go winless for the season having at least 13 starts. (Lee has 13)
-- The Pierre/Victorino/Rollins trio could be the first in franchise history to have 30+ steals in the same season. (Jimmy is on pace for 28)
-- With 50 more hits, Jimmy will become the 29th player in MLB history to reach 2000 hits, 100 doubles, 100 triples, 100 HRs and 100 SBs. 19 of the 27 retired players to do it are in the HOF, and the only active player that did it is Damon.

Spud Davis. Shouldda kept.

TMAC on WFAN now with the Met-tard fill-ins

Already giggling about the jerkoff's false sympathy for the Phils' struggles

TMac breaking down Chooch: "he's really changed his swing to the point where when he slumps, he doesn't actually slump for very long"

i always think that's q-tip from ATCQ and then i don't get the reference for several minutes later

Halladay threw a more strenuous bullpen today. A return shortly after all strar break is very reasonable, pitching coach Dubee said.
