Papelbon wasn’t available to close since he pitched 3 previous games. Really, making $13M in 2014, can’t close? He only pitched 3 innings in 3 days. Enter Diekman. He loads the bases.
The Braves Uggla (the Phillie killer) hits a Grand Slam to ruin the Phillies win.
Braves 9-6.
Enough said, but this game hurt this Phillies fan. ( I was texting my cousin Marjorie during the 8th until the end of game, another die-hard)
Bring back Charlie.
Deadspin has an excellent video in slow motion, check below link.
Journalists Fans, And Players Discuss Charlie Manuel’s Firing as Philadelphia Phillies General Manager.
This blogger well, is more than upset that #FireRubén Amaro,Jr. ( Please can someone start a twitter account with this hash-tag) did not let Charlie go with respect. Yes, I am irate. This is my blog so I can tell you my true feelings. Ruben it is so “BIG OF YOU” to let Charlie win his 1000 game, and let Chooch deliver a home plate autograph by his players in the clubhouse. Big deal. Ruben you could have let Charlie finish 2013 contact season. You deemed the time necessary to change the guard to the clubhouse. Let me get this straight, you put the players on the field, you negotiated their contacts. Charlie did not. Do think this Sandberg guy is the second coming of ******! Really why hasn’t any other team pick him up to be their manager? BTW, The Berg guy doesn’t have a ring either. He seems like he is going to try to lay down the law in the clubhouse? This is 2013, These player make silly money. They don’t care what you do. You took their manager/friend away without class. Amaro are you just trying to fill the seats at Citizen Bank Park because Chip Kelly is across the street with the Buzzfactor Birds?? Ain’t going to work. Karma is a B*****! Wait for yours.
Viewing Comcast Sportsnet currently and MLB, and seeing Charlie in Atlanta’s Dugout waiting for the rain to stop. Charlie knew it was his last game as Manager of the Phillies. So Sad. ( and Ruben Fake A** tears @ the beginning of the presser yesterday.) Sportsnet has a highlight reel of Charlie. It is decent.
I hope the Phillies lose every freaking game left in the 2013 season. Hope the Dodgers extend their winning streak to 9 tonight. I just saw MLB is advertising the game on their channel. This should look good. Yes, I will root for the opposing team now. I got that feeling. Screw Rubin #FireRubinAmaro
OH BTW Did you know that one of Chase Utley’s fan has a blog with a plush toy? It is just a plain wordpress site. I think it is awesome. Check it out below.
MLBAtlanta Braves 6-3 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals one game wild card playoff. Questionable infield fly in 8th inning you bet. I started watching the game in the 6th then with 2 extra umpires on the field, then they blow this call?
Game is under protest. But it doesn’t matter.
Major League Baseball must adapt to current technology and submit themselves to review. Watch the tape.
