Game Thread 8/11: Philadelphia Phillies

Philadelphia Phillies at Los Angeles Dodgers, Aug 11, 2008 7:10 PM PDT




The Phillies acquired a third of their starting lineup as cheap pickups, we acquired Angel Berroa. You do the math.

I can't believe Greg Dobbs

I think you could make a decent team out of guys Bill Bavasi gave up for nothing.

John Danks just lost a no hitter

and he’s now down a run. I see a double to CFer Ken Griffey Jr. wonder how ugly that play was.

I’m sure Williams didn’t notice. He’s probably too busy watching tape of a Mariners game from ‘93 and pleasuring himself.

Or maybe

1995 and that stupid fucking jumping catch into the wall.

Sigh.

The Phillies don’t deserve Chase Utley.

Or most of their starting lineup really.

the casual fans or the fans that post on the pit or DBBP?
