PITCHING MATCHUP:
Cole Hamels (2-2) 5.28 ERA
PHILLIES: Hamels is coming off another so-so outing against San Francisco, in which he struck out a season-high 10, but allowed another four earned runs in six innings with four walks and nine hits. His velocity worked its way up to 93, which is a good sign for the Phillies left-hander. But April wasn’t a strong month, and Hamels carries a 5.28 ERA and 1.47 WHIP into his first start in May. The Phillies may bump Hamels to Tuesday if they decide to activate Joe Blanton off the 15-day disabled list to start Monday. That would split up the left-handers Hamels and Jamie Moyer in the Phils’ rotation.
Adam Wainwright (4-1) 2.13 ERA
CARDINALS: Wainwright is coming off his least-impressive start of the year, but that just tells you how good he’s been in 2010. When three runs in six innings counts as not-up-to-snuff, you’re going pretty well. Over Wainwright’s last 32 starts, dating back to mid-May of last season, he’s 20-8 with a 2.23 ERA, 209 strikeouts, 53 walks and 13 home runs allowed in 229 2/3 innings. Wainwright has held his own nicely at Citizens Bank Park, with eight shutout innings over two career appearances (one start).

Once more, with feeling!
So those posts are gone I take it?
Let’s go Hamels!! 7 or 8 inn. tonight!!
ICE COLD WATER – FRESH SOFT PRETZELS – WATER HERE!
Anyone seen my cousin?!
Q: What is the difference between Cole Hamels and SEPTA?
A: SEPTA knows how to throw a strike.
Cole Hamels call me today, I tell him 8 shutout innings!
Call me now for your free reading!
1-800-799-6804
Go Phils- beat Cards / hackers
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON
i hope somebody runs out onto the field tonight
Cole goes complete game.
Now that we know the ‘S’ is about to hit the proverbial fan, I think it’s time that you pay up, Eagles.
With all this Cole Hamels ribbing that’s all the rage, I’m starting to wonder if there isn’t something to this.
I mean, watching his poorer outings, he’s clearly partial to balls.
You’ll all pay for voting the Eagles at 30% and the Phillies at 54%…
No, really. I mean actually pay. Have you seen the 2010 season ticket invoices?
why so blue panda bear?
I’d like to see some dirty little bunts on the field tonight…
Maybe Blanton can pinch hit tonight if htere’s a bunting situation?
I’m hoping they do the tazer rodeo in the 7th, again. It could be like sausage races in Milwaukee
Well. Since Cole is pitching tonite it’s good we all remember the good times.
Yes.

And of course….

Did Meech get tased?
@KP
Unofficial official song of I want to go to the zoo with Roy Halladay.
I just want some good clean fun tonight. Remember to stay off the field, or I might get sassy.
As well as it should be.
And everybody please stay off the field. I have NO desire to see Cole get “sassy.”
Forget sass, if someone comes on the field and is running near me, I’m pulling a switchblade. Jay Happ WILL cut you – don’t forget it.
is the shit-fit over?
If this taser logic makes any sense, then how come that old guy from the New Era commercial last year was left unscathed?
“Come on Cole, keep pounding the corners…”
*TASE*
if cole was a canadian province, he’d be sass-katchewan.
Hey Guy on the Corner. Can I get an empty water bottle from ya?
Okay I’m laughing REALLY hard at the “sass katchewan” comment. I honestly don’t know why. But I am.
Albert Pujols hates kids!
Pujols: child killer.
Pujols likes to drill little kids with his BP foul balls
Wheels! “it’s always fun to watch a catcher bat against a pitcher.”
I prefer watching a pitcher bat against a catcher myself.
@PhillyPhanInChi: LOL!, I was thinking the same thing.
Whoever mentioned it before, I noticed it tonight. Chris Wheeler needs to stop sniffling when he’s not talking. It’s very distracting.
it’s because phil hartman said it. god rest his beautiful soul.
Castro just Beltraned
I fucking love failed bunts.
is it just me or is ruiz thrown out 90% of the time the pitcher bunts?
and did you just see that guy goose the phanatic? taser that dicklick!
@maria – all I can hear now is Chris Wheeler sniffing. It’s driving me insane.
all i hear is gurgling sounds with molinas cocks and balls jammed down his throat. and of course “jose oquendo.. good player.” whatever wheels
Made it to 8pm and still not passed out yet.
Did it ever occur to “Wheels” that maybe Molina was making those great throws because our pitchers bunted the ball two feet from the plate.
but did you know there are four different ways to pivot? different 2nd basemen like to pivot different ways.
suck every dick, wheels.
castro might as well bring a glove to the plate from now on because he is not a big league hitter
I miss Jimmy. Would have been nice to have Vic hitting there instead of Castrate…..
Anyone else watching this on MLB Extra Innings? St. Louis has THEE gayest commercials ever and their announcers make golf announcers sound like Gus Johnson.
This is the inning for Cole. He gets through this he could cruise. Dude just can’t pitch out of the 5th without giving something up…
wtf? This site really has gone crazy.
Castro is only easily the best Ute guy since Cholly’s been here. And like he’s the only guy who hasn’t hit in the clutch lately….you have got to be kidding me.
Save the dumb comments for the Eagles games. At least then they’ll be expected.
@Bigmyc-
I agree that Castro is a great Ute guy. I also would like to point out that he IS a UTE and not an everyday guy. You can’t tell me you disagree with wanting Vic hitting in the 7 hole over him? He’s an awesome fielder, but his bat is the one hole in our lineup right now.
That is all.
Albert Pujols just does not hit the Phillies well, and I couldn’t be happier.
anyone just see wheels giving t-mac a tug job?
Just showed a picture of Wheels grabbing Tmacs junk. Oh the humanity!
I’m Back
We just let Yadier Molina steal second base.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Fuck the Mets!
more info coming later
Ruck up meech, ruck up!
I’d love to score.
PhillypHan in Chi, Yes, I know, but when I hear posters criticize a utility guy whose role is clearly defined it makes me tell ya about it.
Look, of course we’d rather see Shane hit in that spot. In much the same way that I wanted Jeff Carter, Simon Gagne and Lappy healthy for the Bruins series….it’s an obvious thing.
But to pick on the Ute…well, that’s just cheap.
Finally got that sand outta yer coochie, huh Meechy?
I’m owning up to the last 2 meech comments… they wernt him who knows what his deal is
#13 BigMYC-”I mean, watching his poorer outings, he’s clearly partial to balls.”
Well so is David Wright, but it doesn’t effect the way he plays. What? Oh, different balls. My bad.
Shane Victorino has how many triples this year? Raul already has two. What a kooky season.
OK.
I stand corrected.
Bash the Ute guy ad infinitum/
Ice cream for all!
Thanx, Matt, but that was kinda the original joke.
Chooooooch is the man. Welcome back meech. You fuck. And the Mets too.
meech is still mia…
Well Miss Cleo it’s go time.
Someone owes ME a trip to the zoo
Gimme a CG 1-0 SO Cole Handsome. Do it do it do it!
anyone up in the pen? only watching gameday…. sucks
JERKOFF!!!!!
…guess not… officially the most exciting cartoon game ive ever seen
You tell ‘em Wheels!
did that fan get tased too?
We can haz longest tase streak in MLB history?
Another fucking idiot runs on the field. Tase his ass too.
hope he shares a cell with big bubba
Fuckin retard broke Colbert’s concentration. The amout of sass he would give to that idiot would be unreal.
That mook running on the field ruined the game. Nice job.
Fuck me…Oh wait Brad is coming in…..Jesus on a fucking pony….
i swear the way to get hamels to pitch good is to score no or one run, Then leave it to hamels to fuck it up on his own. Way to go offense.
Well shit
THEY SHOULD HAVE SHOT THE KID ON THE FIELD TONIGHT … SO TAZINGS NOT ENOUGH? OK NEXT IS GETTING SHOT …
if the phils dont make it to the playoffs(which God forbids) we will all look back at this douche.
I tell Cole 8 innings, not 9. I wheel never give him free reading again!
Lidge is a righty? when did that happen
Cliff Lee would have tackled that guy himself, then retired the side on 3 pitches.
The picture just got all wierd.
HERE’S THE GUY WHO RAN ON THE FIELD
http://twitter.com/THETHOROBRED
What kind of retard runs on the field. Some drunk punk. kill em all.
When the hell did Lidge learn to throw a slider? Yeesh.
i encourage everyone to email/call/text/anthrax him
That fan who ran on the field tonight should be tied to a pole erected at home plate and Cole should be able to throw another 115 pitches at the guy’s face.
Seriously, they have to raise the fine for running on to the field and increase the jail time. These idiots are making the city & team look real bad.
Screw tazers. Shoot the idiot.
Get me to the plate boys..
can we get the hacker to fuck his shit up?
100
Good snag, Pete! This guy needs severe punishment!
54 is baaaacccckkkkk!
Brad Lidge<3
I feel so dirty now
Fuck you Dubee, I wanted to get 100.
genocide towards drunk fans running on the field?
The Phillies are trying to give me heart attacks again.
All is right in the world.
Meat of the order is up. End this. NOW!
Hope your right Ozark
hope youre right jayson’s beard
Lidge is nastyyy
That guys name is really blake hawksworth….must have been a tough childhood
RAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUL
i just fucked up the page.
Way to swing at total shit after 3-0
Blake hawksworth is a porn name
logjammin, im actually more mad he MISSED that 3-0 pitch. It was dead red right down the middle.. no excuse to miss it when you know its comin
Fuck you, Castro. Would it kill you to have more than a 2-pitch at-bat?
Flash Gordon on to close
blake hawksworth sounds like something out of Dawsons Creek
Ben Fransisco sucks.
Eugenio playing left for us tonight?
For Christ sake!
@BigJon
Cliff Lee would have retired the side on 1 pitch…don’t ask me how
shoulda caught that
Anyone else think that Contreras is gonna end up a starter before the year is up?
Ben fransico brings nothing to the table
@PhillyPhanInChi, I don’t think they’ll want to mess with a good thing.
Luv 52
Pujols looks a little flimsy if you know what I mean. And by that I mean gay.
@PhillyPhanInChi- Don’t really see that. If he is content with the pen they need him there more. If they do need a 5th starter later they have other options at triple A and there is still PEDROOOOOO!
when contreras was a starter, he get hit hard with his 91-93 mph fastball. you just witnessed a 98 mph fastball with movement. along with herndon’s 94mph sinker type pitch, these are our flame thowers. FUCKING FOUL BITCH.
That was fucking smoked.
COOOOOOCH??????
Cotdamnit Chooch..
I SMELL ICE CREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOCH
SENOR OCTUBRE!!!!!!
Chooooooooch!
choooooooooooooooooooch!
Chpoooooooooooooooooch
CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCH
Sweet!!!
It’s gotta be October in May!
choooooooooooooooochhhhiiiiiiieeeeee
Vote for Carlos
CHOOOOOOCHH
FUCK!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CHOOOOOOOOOOOOCH!!!!!!!!!!
CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The STL feed on MLB just played that five fucking times…..Chills all over!!
haha chooch of all people to score our only runs….. love it
DONDE ESTA LA BIBLIOTEEECAAAAAAAAAAAA
CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCCCCHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
PLEEEESSSEEE…Someone get the Spanish audio from that!!
@will h., very appropriate. hahaha.
@Dubee- That 2 seam 98 Heat blew me away. I mean, who the hell throws a 98mph 2 seamer?! I just think he’s gonna end up being a spot started down the line.
If Cole can keep doing this, Blanton can be Blanton, Happ comes back this whole conversation becomes moot.
ICE CREAM TIME!! atta boy chooch
Sarge just threw it back to Tom and “Muff”.
Was that the first ever interview for Chooch? 3rd time I’ve heard him speak besides his press confrence and that “I’m _____ and you’re watching Comcast Sportsnet”.
YEAAAAAAAAAAH< CHOOOCH!!!
@PhillyPhanInChi – That nasty shit is exactly why he can be so valuable outta the pen. I am banking on the rest being moot as well.
LA PELOTA NO REGRESA
I could not understand chooch during the postgame interview lol
GTO, he speaks choochlish
he was trying to say that the lincoln mkx is the #1 sport utility crossover.
The Sarge-Chooch interview is about as awkward and hilarious as it gets. I love how Chooch didn’t even break stride when he got pied in the face. I also love how Sarge told him to go into the clubhouse and take care of that “shampoo”….what the hell runs through his head
I swear between Chooch and Cholly I don’t know what the hell they say. They both need interpreters.
chooch is so good
He should hit more home runs like that
I love when Chooch smiles
Sarge, Chooch, and Charlie are doing their own rendition of Helen Keller! The Musical.
Yingkon MKX is nomber juan crossover in highway em-pay-yee!
How moronic can you be to make fun of his English after Ruiz fucking won the game for us?? As far as I’m concerned, Chooch can speak Swahili in his postgame interviews… just go hang out at Gino’s with the other *&#@%*#S and leave Senor Octubre alone!
carlosforever, you’re not in on the joke. it’s like making fun of your buddy for being tall. We like Carlos, he hits vasbols.
Haha WHAT? Dude that’s how he says it. I love Chooch. On camera day I asked him if me and him can trade hats. It was cool.
The doctor has prescribed you a single dose of Chill Pills. Take more if necessary.
The fact that I easily knew what “vasbols” means made me LOL real hard.
feel free to not leave me alone… I’m clearly all about the fans I’m one of the most likable players on a very likable roster
Hamels took care of it. Ruiz you are the temporary man!
Ok I’m just a big fan… and yours wasn’t the one that I didn’t like Mark…but come on.. Helen Keller? .. tonight?? it’s just lazy
What was your most memorable fart?
For the record, it’s Geno’s, not Gino’s…and the steaks there suck.
yeah ok Geno’s … I forgot, because of how long it’s been since I’ve gone near that place.
so it seems THETHOROBRED is a DJ and does shows at the Troc….We should get a bunch of people together to go see him perform…..then run on stage and interfere with his performance….its probably a shitty show already so might as well make it interesting.
Chooch didn’t look too happy about the shaving cream pies. Vic and Dobbs, watch your back.
