Todays Lineup W. Taveras cf C. Biggio 2b M. Lamb 1b M. Ensberg 3b L. Scott rf P. Wilson lf A. Everett ss B. Ausmus c B. Backe p Like to see less of Biggio on the road.
that "41" backe scratched into the mound next to woody williams' number is hilarious and awesome at the same time
Yeah, I noticed that. I hope Backe crosses out Woody's 17. Or maybe he can draw a heart around it with and arrow.
Defense isn't Willy's strong suit. That's what I fear in the future if Luke Scott and Willy Taveras are two of our outfielders.
I'm kinda dissapointed with Garner's random lineup shuffling tonight. Nothing he does has any real consistency or reasoning when it comes to making the lineups. Wilson struggles, so he sits... but then he's right back in there after one game. Burke struggles, so he sits... Willy comes in and plays better than before (but still not all that great)... but Burke doesn't get a job back. Scott and Ensberg get everyday status right away as they respectively come back from the minors... while Huff (who is still a more accomplished hitter than 7/8ths of our lineup) gets days off when we're trying to start winning streaks. I figured with Berkman out, we'd try to go with our best possible lineup for each and every game... not still trying to mix-and-match, and keep some guys fresh, and tinker a little with other guys' confidence, etc. etc. etc.
Phillies up 11-7 against Cards Utley just got 34 on his last AB... Lucky, Wait now they are taking it away maybe haha
We haven't won back to back games since JULY 4th! Holy CRAP! Pads are dishing out a no hitter through 4.
What's not to like about a hitting streak? As long as we aren't playing the Phillies, way to go, Utley.
cy woody! seriously though...williams is one of the top pitchers in the game.....gotta take advantage of every chance we get
