For what it's worth, I think it's smart you stuck with Game Chat. It's great for SEO. I did a Google of Phillies Game Chat, and this site ranked first. That's something you don't want to lose. (You are, however, second to The 700 Level of "phillies live game chat".)

[CJ]

Lineup:

Victorino
Werth
Utley
Howard
Burrell
Feliz
Coste
Bruntlett
Kendrick

If anyone can explain to me why Feliz is batting ahead of Coste, I'm all ears.

[J. Weitzel]

Chatter up is good to use in a graphic, I've decided.

[Dave X]

I wonder if BL would be first in "Phillies live game chat," and all the other searches where Phillies.com doesn't apply, if typepad didn't change their format. It used to be like 500 posts per game with regularity.

[Andy]

CJ - because the catcher is always 8th - except when he's seventh because you have a gnome filling in at shortstop.

[CJ]

Dave X: It seems to have more to do with the fact that The 700 Level titles their posts "Live Game Chat." Post titles make a big difference in SEO.

[p. Red]

So what does everyone think, will Rowand get cheered or booed?

[Inside/Outside the Parker]

I think Rowand will be cheered without a doubt.

[CJ]

Cheered, no doubt.

[Inside/Outside the Parker]

You can cheer that. UTS!!!

[CJ]

Chase = The Man.

[p. Red]

Chase Utley is going to end up with more HRs this year than Ryan Howard. You watch.

[drake]

first-pitch feliz comes through!

[Inside/Outside the Parker]

Extended sacrifice bunt futility.

[THe Dude]

why is it that Wheels always feels its necessary to tell us what certain people in the dugout are saying everytime a camera shows someone in the dugout? Does he have a hidden mic down there to spy on them! I mean its quite foolish sometimes and sometimes I think Wheels actually gets off on putting words in peoples' mouths. It seemed like Wheels might have shot a wad in his khaki's tonight when he saw Myers with his arm around Cholly.

[NCPhilly]

Kyle "three pitch strikeout" Kendrick tonight. Also continuing his comebacker fielding trend.

[NCPhilly]

THe Dude: Don't be jealous.

[Inside/Outside the Parker]

Bruntlett!! Great play. May not be saying that again for a while.

[NCPhilly]

Beautiful DP.

[MG]

This Giants' lineup is pathetic. They have two other players (Rowand and Molina) who would start for most other teams in the NL. That is it. Lewis might be a decent player but I still want to see what he does over the course of a year.

[Inside/Outside the Parker]

When Molina is your cleanup hitter, you have major problems.

[Inside/Outside the Parker]

Which only means that they will be All Star candidates by the end of this series.

[MG]

Parker - Nah and it is not exactly like the Giants' have any threats off their bench. Worst group of pinch-hitters in the league. Although I did wish I would be able to go to the Lincecum-Hamels game on Sunday. That should be a hell of a game.

[MG]

In fact I actually have seen Lincecum twice and I like his stuff better than Hamels actually. Amazing that a guy his size can generate the power he can.

[Inside/Outside the Parker]

Feliz can't get shown up by Aaron Rowand!

[p. Red]

Looks like Feliz is fired up to play his old team.

[Inside/Outside the Parker]

MG: I like Lincecum's stuff as well. I like Hamels presence better though. I've said it before but, Hamels has something that extends beyond physical skills.

Some of the CBP lucky dirt.

[MG]

Senor Out is on a mission tonight.

[Inside/Outside the Parker]

Ok, the Schmidt/Matthews hamming about wine is too much. Schmidt looks exactly like Chuck Norris.

[johnnysanz3]

Maybe Feliz did listen to Manuel..

[mike cunningham]

Nice pitch to Molina there by Kendrick.

Of course it's Molina.

[p. Red]

Big K there by Madson. Looking for a nice DP ball now...

[Inside/Outside the Parker]

Kendrick left in too long and Madsen can't seal the dam.

[p. Red]

@Parker: Yup, Charlie needs to learn when to pull his starters. Also, why is Madson even in there now? Is Gordon unavailable?

[Inside/Outside the Parker]

Most nights, Kendrick is a six inning pitcher. Madsen looks more and more hittable every time he makes an appearance. This is the Giants, not the Detroit Tigers, come on.

[drake]

i can't remember the last time madson actually looked good on the mound

[NCPhilly]

For me, Madson's start against the ChiSox a few weeks back was the beginning of his long slow decline.

[sifl]

I like this matchup with Howard.

[sifl]

Welp...

[MG]

I still think Madson is hurt. And so much for Howard breaking out of his slump. He has looked lost at the plate tonight.

[drake]

nice play by flash there to save the run

[drake]

ryan howard = adam dunn

[Andy]

Gameday has "injury delay." Who's injured?

[drake]

trainer came to the mound after flash ran somebody down at third, but he stayed in. i think they were just trying to get him a minute to catch his breath

[Andy]

Thanks.

Anyone else think the Phils are trying to hard to hit big flies tonight?

[drake]

i was thinking they'd bring in jenkins to face walker... maybe ph for coste and bring ruiz in to catch the rest of the game

[Andy]

Time to set up the "who pitches the tenth" pool. (Of course, Chollie's incomparable gut is telling nhim the Phils will win it in a walk off 9th.)

I'm guessing Condrey for the 10th.

[fljerry]

Why waste Lidge - its not a save situation

[Andy]

That assumes, of course, the Giants don't get six or seven more singles here.

[Dave X]

Burrell still in the game in the 9th.
