San Francisco @ Philadelphia


Would you have traded Pedro Feliz and $51M for Aaron Rowand?

Yeah. Me too. It ain't my money.

Go Anti-Zito!

Don’t forget the pick-up of the 37th pick in the 2008 draft and the loss of the 2nd round pick. Patrick Misch for the win. Please keep the ball in the yard.

I just have this feeling that Feliz is going to rake all weekend.

by Lars The Wanderer on May 2, 2008 3:36 PM PDT   0 recs

Rake the dirt with his bat?

That’s the feeling I have.

Maybe CBP will give Bowker a boost that gets him back on track. At least they’re letting him still play.

This sounds so familiar... they will wake up in 10 years.

May 1 3B Pedro Feliz is batting .200 and has grounded into a National League-leading eight double plays. But he continues to be the Phillies’ starting third baseman. Manager Charlie Manuel has opted to stick with Feliz, even though left-handed Greg Dobbs is batting .333 with nine RBIs in only 36 at-bats. Feliz has 10 RBIs in 95 at-bats. “I’ve just got to keep playing him,” Manuel said. “He’s our third baseman, and he’s playing good defense. He’s had some big hits for us already, and he’s hit some balls hard.”

"You're all worthless and weak, now drop and give me twenty!"

by Lidocaine on May 2, 2008 3:40 PM PDT   0 recs

yeah...

minus the part of having an alternate 3B hitting .333 w/ 9 RBIs

I think Misch will pitch decently tonight. I like the lefty against Utley and Howard, Rollins isn’t playing and the lineup isn’t THAT formidable. Feliz is even hitting sixth!! Watch out for Burrell though.

I missed a few games...

due to work and other responsibilites. But I’ve seen or listened to a little or most of every game this year. I still haven’t seen or heard Bowker get a hit…

Come on CBP, lets give Bowker his confidence back.
