Phils - Braves

Frayed Knot Sep 16 2008 09:57 AM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Sep 16 2008 10:29 AM

One of several series we need to moniter over the next few days. Game 1 tonight matches Jamie Moyer against James Parr* * I've never heard of this guy but he's a 22 y/o, RHer 4th round pick from 2004 who's had 2 ML starts now going a total of 12 innings and has yet to give up a run. 12 IPs, 7 hits, 3 BBs, 10 Ks IOW, Jamie Moyer's kids are probably older.

Frayed Knot wrote: IOW, Jamie Moyer's kids are probably older. This got me curious and although I didn't dig up his kids ages I got some useful information. From Wiki. ]Moyer currently lives in the Magnolia district of Seattle, Washington with his wife Karen (the daughter of former Notre Dame basketball coach and current ESPN sportscaster Digger Phelps and American University Professor of Law Teresa Godwin Phelps) and their seven children. Their youngest child was adopted from Guatemala. Jamie and Karen Moyer are philanthropists in the Northwest with their work done through The Moyer Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping children in severe distress.

We're going to face that Atlanta pitcher (I believe it's James Parr) on Sunday.

Gwreck Sep 16 2008 10:07 AM

Moyer and his wife Karen have 6 kids, according to his [url=http://philadelphia.phillies.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=119469]Phillies player bio[/url]. Dillon (17) Hutton (15) Timoney (13) Duffy (10) McCabe (5) Grady (4)

metirish Sep 16 2008 10:09 AM

They gave their kids all last names as first names?

Dillon (17) Hutton (15) Timoney (13) Duffy (10) McCabe (5) Grady (4) Without checking his page, let's play guess the sex: Dillon - boy Hutton - girl timoney - tough one; I go girl Duffy - boy (has to be) McCabe - I go boy Grady - boy

Gwreck Sep 16 2008 10:13 AM

Hahn got 3 of 6 correct.

DocTee Sep 16 2008 10:16 AM

Dillon and McCabe are girls. Hahn's other picks are right, i surmise.

HahnSolo Sep 16 2008 10:17 AM

Phils are 10-2 against the Braves this year, including 6-0 at Turner Field. Last time they lost at Turner Field I think was that horrendous loss last year when they gave up six runs in the bottom of the ninth.

Gwreck Sep 16 2008 10:20 AM

Well, if only one of my other guesses is right, it has to be that Grady is a boy.

Hilarious , I am now Spine Breeder Palin and my son is Rink Rebate Palin

Frayed Knot Sep 16 2008 10:38 AM

The Moyers wish to remind everyone that just because their kids have names like Timoney & Hutton that it doesn't mean they aren't just ordinary people.

Gwreck Sep 16 2008 10:41 AM

Ok, fair point. Things seem a little more normal if you include their middle names too: Dillon James (17) - boy Hutton Scott (15) - boy Timoney Jennifer (13) - girl Duffy Margaret (10) - girl McCabe Joseph (5) - boy Grady Adele (4) - girl

metirish Sep 16 2008 10:43 AM

They say lefty pitchers are a little strange...

soupcan Sep 16 2008 10:43 AM

Please to meet you, I'm Chevy General Palin. This is my wife, Buster Taint (seriously?), these are my boys, Spackle Camshaft and Stockyard Mudslide. Last but not least of course is my lovely daughter, Mangle Blue.

A Boy Named Seo Sep 16 2008 05:53 PM

Recoil Mush Palin Utley just drove in Rake Trinket Palin Rollins. 1-nil Phillies.

DocTee Sep 16 2008 05:58 PM

Phils up 3-0.

A Boy Named Seo Sep 16 2008 05:58 PM

Ack.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 16 2008 06:24 PM

Braves have come back to tie it at 3. Astros still trail the Marlins 5-0. Cubs and Brewers just underway.

Frayed Knot Sep 16 2008 06:43 PM

A Ruiz HR makes it 4-3 Phils Manuel has moved Werth to #3 slot splitting up the lefties Utley & Howard. That probably should have been done a while ago.

HahnSolo Sep 16 2008 08:13 PM

8-7 now in the 8th on a Howard home run. The Phils always come back.

Rockin' Doc Sep 16 2008 08:14 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Sep 16 2008 08:16 PM

The Braves rally back and take a 7-6 lead over the Phillies into the 8th inning. Then with 2 outs in the ninth Werth draws a walk. Cox brings in Mike Ganzalez to face Ryan Howard. Gonzalez, doing his best impersonation of a Mets reliever, grooves a 3-2 fastball that Howard hits into the left field stands for his 45th homer of the year. 8-7 Phillies heading to the bottom of the 8th in Atlanta.

Elster88 Sep 16 2008 08:14 PM

We did that against the Braves too!!!

mario25 Sep 16 2008 08:17 PM

2 things about Gonzalez-Howard 1) Gonzales looked like Mariano against us and 2) As much as i hate to say this Howard is more of an MVP then any Met because HE COMES THROUGH IN THE CLUTCH

metirish Sep 16 2008 08:17 PM

Never a good sign when I am checking scores from other teams hoping they are losing....fucking Mets.

HahnSolo Sep 16 2008 08:32 PM

Chipper, McCann, and Infante in the 9th for the Braves against Lidge I would assume.

SteveJRogers Sep 16 2008 08:37 PM

Whatever fucking works at this point!

soupcan Sep 16 2008 08:52 PM

Phils win 8-7.

HahnSolo Sep 16 2008 08:54 PM

Of course we're teased by Lidge walking the bases loaded only to have Blanco strike out to end it. It is striking how similar this year is to last year.

Rockin' Doc Sep 16 2008 08:55 PM

The Braves work 3 walks out of Lidge, but Blanco strikes out swinging to end the game. The Mets are now trailing the Phillies.

soupcan Sep 16 2008 08:58 PM

The Mets are 1/2 game out with 12 games to go. We knew it would come to the wire and it has. Let's Go Mets!

holychicken Sep 16 2008 09:00 PM

="soupcan"]The Mets are 1/2 game out with 12 games to go. We knew it would come to the wire and it has. Let's Go Mets! The wire is till more than a week away. I have a hard time believing right now that the Mets will be in it at that point. I can't see how losing first place so quickly is going to help them relax and play better.

soupcan Sep 16 2008 09:20 PM

Hey, I'm trying over here.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 17 2008 07:16 AM

Mike Schmidt was right; the Phillies are a better team than the Mets. They rise to the occasion, the Mets shrink from it. Our best hope (and a reasonable one) is to have the Brewers suck more than the Mets do over the next week and a half. And then, the next step is to have the Mets wake up once the playoffs start. That seems to be more of a pipe dream, but you never know. (What is a "pipe dream" anyway? Does it have something to do with drugs? Or do people actually dream about pipes?)

First place has gone back and forth and neither the Mets nor the Phillies have had a lead of more than 3 games since before the All-Star break. This isn't a collapse, it's a pennant race. And we're behind by half a game. Sheesh.

Frayed Knot Sep 17 2008 07:51 AM

]Mike Schmidt was right; the Phillies are a better team than the Mets. They rise to the occasion, the Mets shrink from it. At least until proven otherwise, that is the case. Tonight's matchup features LHP J.A. Happ for the Phils, just promoted to the rotation in place of the floundering Kyle Kendrick vs RHP Jair Jurrgens probably the Braves' best pitcher this season - or at least the healthiest.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 17 2008 08:01 AM

And we're behind by half a game. Sheesh. I didn't say it was a collapse. It is, as you said, a pennant race. And the Phillies are winning and the Mets are losing. Sure the trend can turn around at any time, but I don't see any reason to expect that it will. Since the Brewers are also losing, it's not unreasonable to think that they're more likely to out-lose the Mets than the Phillies are.

When we blew the wild card lead, then needed to sweep the Pirates just to qualify for the one-game playoff.
