Thanks for blowing the season!
Today, we were reminded of something we likely forgot over the last month. Uncle Cholly, while being a pretty decent manager for the long term, is a complete and utter moron when it comes to in game decision making.
Exhibit A: Why or why did he yank Lt. Kendrick so early? That was a total panic move. Kendrick is a battler. He should have been given more time.
Exhibit B: Why did he pull Lohse? By bringing him during the 4th, Cholly burned up Lohse's availability to start Saturday. So why not just ride the guy for a couple of innings? He was a much better alternative than putting Jose Mesa on the mound. Jose does not belong on a major league roster, let alone pitching in your most important game of the season.
In any event, I'm pretty bummed about the turn of events. I was deep down hoping for a long playoff run. Oh well.

I would take an injured, one-legged elf over Jose Mesa any day.
I guess Cholly just proved yesterday why he is NOT manager of the year material.
In case no one noticed the Flyers won their season opener - Woohooo!!!
I noticed Briere scoring two goals!
i didn't know philadelphia had a hockey team?
I got home at 2:30 to watch the Phillies even things up; saw J-Roll continue his MVP-caliber season; and then I see that knucklehead manager steal the game away. He truly is an idiot. I'm sure to make up for it he'll keep Moyer in the game on Saturday when the Rockies start to crush his 81mph fastball (although I'll be rooting for Jamie).

Where is the PSP? With the phils losing, RU getting spanked and the Fly Girls getting lit up, the boy may be on a bridge somewhere?
PSP, are you alive?
