I’m going to try to keep an update going throughout the game.  I’ll probably be updating in the comments so that anyone else can join in.  I’ll also be updating with ASponge here.

Meanwhile Myers has already given up a run in the first.  A single, a walk, and a double without an out is not the start he needed.  Sadly it’s the start I expected.  He always tries to get his fastball accross early but it doesn’t work.

*Update*

With Brett Myers recording 5 of 6 outs in two innings on pop-ups, I feel that the young Marlins are a little to eager to hit a homerun and are swinging a little too anxiously.  ASponge confirmed that’s what the Marlins announcers said.

*Well they big innings continue.  The Phillies have now batted around the lineup here in the 2nd.  Shane Victorino just hit a 2-run double to get the total in the inning to 5 runs.

Here is the game thread over at southflorida.

 *Myers seems to have settled down after a shaky first inning.  Apparently Hendrickson isn’t worthy of his good record.  He has been struggling lately I guess.

I knew I should have benched Burrell in fantasy today.  I swear I miss with him every time.

*Myers did in fact settle down.  He just struck out the side in the 4th inning.  I think he knows that if he doesn’t pitch better he might go back to the bullpen…only this time not as the closer.

*With 2 outs in the 4th and with runners on the corners, Hendrickson has been pulled.  I guess Marlins fans were right to be cautious about him getting the start.  That 7-2 record is very misleading.

The Fish went to the pen, and brought in a guy to face Ryan Howard.  He didn’t really do his job considering Howard hit the shortest 3-run homer you can in the park.  He hit the foul pole in left field just over the top of the wall.  Phillies lead 11-3.  And apparently the smap-filter won’t let people comment too many times on one post so I’m just going to move over to thesouthfloridafan blog for the rest of the game and put up the results afterwards.

    Well we made it out of the inning with 3 pop ups. The wind is blowing out big time. Myers looks terrible again. 3-0 hole to start the game isn’t fun.

  2. The South Florida Fan Says:

    Dan Uggla used to bat second. Fredi moved him down to try and shake things up about a month ago, and it paid off bigtime. Now Uggla doesn’t have to worry about contact swings, etc.

    And yeah, the wind seemed pretty potent on that Luis Gonzalez fly ball…still think Burrell should have caught it though.

  3. The South Florida Fan Says:

    With the wind blowing out and the state of the Phillies’ offense, no Marlins fans are feeling safe with a 3-0 lead.

  4. The South Florida Fan Says:

    I guess I was right, lol. This could be a real slugfest.

  5. Scott Eckersley Says:

    HR Chris Coste! Tie game!

  6. The South Florida Fan Says:

    It’s getting almost hard to watch. Hendrickson has done exactly what every Marlins fan feared.

  7. Scott Eckersley Says:

    Well they did it again. 7 run 2nd inning this time. Homers by Coste and Utley. The whole team is locked in at the plate.

  8. Scott Eckersley Says:

    It’s either big inning or nothing for the Phillies. They really had a chance to knock Hendrickson out of the game if they could have got a few men on and put some pressure on him. Instead the inning was over in about 4 minutes.
