Final Thoughts
The Phillies weren’t shut out again! In fact, they scored more than three runs!
Well, that’s the good news. The bad news is that most of those runs came in garbage time.
The other bad news is that for the second straight game, the Phillies gave up 10 runs or more, and one of their top pitchers got shelled by the opposition.
The team’s four-game set against the Blue Jays has been a complete disaster. The Phils fell flat on their faces, dropping all four games and plunging their record back to three games below .500. All momentum that the team might have gained from taking two of three from the Nats is gone now.
F^#@ING BUMS! F^#@ YOU haveknowclue!
This whitewash at the hands of the Blue Jays will
Cone back to haunt the Phils.. They better win the Series over the Mets or it will be an uphill battle ..
Notes from the Phillies loss….. Ruben Amaro is the dingleberry hanging to the left of my anus.
Giles got called up to aaa today and galvis went down to aaa. Thank you! Giles needs to dominate in aaa and if he does could be up in 2 weeks but he will probably dominate and come up in august
Galvis needs to go to little league as his arm is appropriate for that level of play.
When does Ruben get sent down or outrighted?
