Nice picture of Beckett. Don't even have to bother watching now. Automatic loss.
Posted by: Scotch Man | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 06:39 PM
I like the way Lee smiles as he is throwing his filth (as shown above). As batter after batter go down we smile with him. Go Cliff!
Posted by: BloodStripes | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 06:40 PM
I was just thinking what a particularly unflattering picture of Beckett that is. I think the Phils will win, and I agree about the smile on Lee's face! It's awesome! He look like he's thinking "Here it comes!"
Posted by: phargo | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 06:42 PM
Lee and Beckett - two great pitcher that both wear those stupid rope necklaces.
Posted by: Spitz | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 06:56 PM
I hesitate to say it's a World Series preview because there is a ton of season left and it's silly to fall back on that old marketing cliche.
I will say this though. I'm interested in this series because the Phillies have been good the last few years about gearing up for series like these. It will be intriguing to see if they can find another gear for the series.
Posted by: The Truth Injection | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:03 PM
Scotch: exactly
Spitz: That's freakin' hilarious.
Posted by: SLO Phan | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:05 PM
Tilt!!
Posted by: Fatalotti | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:10 PM
5 pitches, 3 outs Sounds better when it's the opposing team.
Posted by: GBrettfan | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:10 PM
Cliff Lee = FULL TILT.
Posted by: SLO Phan | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:11 PM
So far so nasty!
Posted by: Spitz | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:12 PM
Lee dialed in from the get go, a great sign.
Love to see the Phils put at least two solid games - both the rotation and position guys doing what they are capable of - against the Sox.
Posted by: Bob | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:13 PM
55 hits in 92 IP is pretty impressive.
Posted by: Hugh Mulcahy | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:13 PM
Thought Jimmy had a chance there.
Posted by: GBrettfan | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:15 PM
Hugh, very impressive, but I don't suspect his .217 BAbip will keep up the rest of the season, especially since he only has a GB rate of 40.2%.
Still, having an awesome season.
Posted by: Fatalotti | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:16 PM
Didn't look like a strike.
Posted by: Bake McBride was Here | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:16 PM
not a strike
Posted by: Hugh Mulcahy | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:17 PM
Great play by Scutaro, darn.
NESN gives pitch count along with score, outs, count.
Posted by: GBrettfan | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:18 PM
Guy in the Taco Bell ad = Jackass (to state the obvious)
Posted by: Bake McBride was Here | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:21 PM
Youkillis still has the goofiest batting stance in all of baseball.
Posted by: Fatalotti | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:21 PM
How were those not strikes?
Posted by: SLO Phan | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:22 PM
What is that on Cole's chin?
Posted by: goody | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:24 PM
Wind blowing to right?
Posted by: Hugh Mulcahy | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:25 PM
Lee looks really good tonight. Almost like he pitched carefully to Youkillis.
Posted by: Fatalotti | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:27 PM
Youk with a goofy stance, but kind of a scary hitter.
Posted by: Bob | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:27 PM
Is this going to be one of those dull pitcher's duels?
Posted by: Old Phan | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:28 PM
If anyone was wondering, yes, listening to Chris Wheeler drool over the Red Sox makes me turn over in my grave.
Posted by: "Harry the K" | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:30 PM
Victorino will hit it out here . . .
Posted by: Bake McBride was Here | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:32 PM
or ground to short.
Posted by: Bake McBride was Here | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:33 PM
Man, Howard is slow...
Posted by: Fatalotti | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:33 PM
Vic batting after Howard? That's new.
Scutaro is a good SS. NESN guys didn't think he'd have a play there.
Posted by: GBrettfan | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:34 PM
Youk has started to lose a liitle bat speed
Posted by: MG | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:34 PM
Time for Vic to run. Put a little pressure on Beckett. Especially with V-tek's noodle arm.
Posted by: Spitz | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:35 PM
Phargo - good to see you.
I hate that there are so many Boston fans in the stands.
Posted by: Kutztown Fan | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:35 PM
Love the graphic. 84 Topps?
Posted by: MG | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:36 PM
That did not look like a strike. Hopefully he gives that to Lee.
Posted by: Fatalotti | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:36 PM
I forgive Brown.
Posted by: Meyer | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:39 PM
Not ready!
Posted by: Old Phan | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:39 PM
DOMO!!!!
Brown looks like he lowered his hands. Just me?
Posted by: Fatalotti | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:39 PM
not readyyyyyy!!!!
Posted by: bullit | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:39 PM
nice hit dom.
Posted by: Ollie Brown | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:39 PM
Yes!! Brown delivers!
Posted by: GBrettfan | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:39 PM
Bout time D Brown
Posted by: 3r0ck | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:39 PM
Not Yet Ready
Posted by: EastFallowfield | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:39 PM
Atta boy Not Ready. Way to get fleeced Rube.
Posted by: whitey | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:39 PM
Finally, Brown!!
His bat looked like it just grabbed that one and whipped it out.
Posted by: Bake McBride was Here | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:39 PM
Is he ready yet?
Posted by: BloodStripes | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:39 PM
A thing of beauty
Posted by: Hugh Mulcahy | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:39 PM
wow, Down Town Dom Brown!!!!!!
Posted by: "Harry the K" | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:39 PM
Not ready.
Posted by: SLO Phan | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:40 PM
There we go Dom!!!! Your 2012 Phillies starting LFer!
Posted by: mvptommyd | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:40 PM
Dom with a blast off Beckett? Even the most optimistic poster on Beerleaguer couldn't have seen that one coming.
Posted by: bay_area_phan | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:40 PM
Not only was it a great looking swing, but it was a really nice AB from start to finish. Didn't jump at any really bad pitches, took a couple close ones for balls.
Good sign to see. Hope he's heating up.
Posted by: Fatalotti | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:40 PM
You go, Dom. Very timely, to say the least. Can we forgive him for not running that grounder out yet?
Posted by: Bob | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:40 PM
how's that taste,Punk?
Posted by: wes covington | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:40 PM
'85 MG I think.
Posted by: BobbyD | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:41 PM
That second strike to Ruiz looked non-strikey too.
Posted by: Bake McBride was Here | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:41 PM
2 runs on 1 swing is quite an interesting concept.
Posted by: BobbyD | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:41 PM
That will help Dom get back into the good graces of Phillies fans.
I know his average has been down but I think he has shown some good patience at times at the plate. If he can continue that he'll get more fastballs like that to hit and drive.
Posted by: The Truth Injection | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:41 PM
Dom really schweitzered that ball.
Posted by: Lincoln Hawkes | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:43 PM
The bad news is that Dom failed to run out that homerun trot.
Posted by: bay_area_phan | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:43 PM
The bad news is that Dom failed to run out that homerun trot.
Posted by: bay_area_phan | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:43 PM
Was honestly surprised to see him out in LF for this inning. Thought Manuel would bench him.
Posted by: Fatalotti | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:44 PM
Michael Taylor would have run around the bases twice to score another run. Rube got fleeced.
Posted by: whitey | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:45 PM
@Lincoln..nice, well played.
Posted by: MS69 | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:45 PM
Plate got skinnier all of a sudden.
Posted by: Hugh Mulcahy | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:45 PM
Generous to Beckett and squeezing Lee.
No way.
Posted by: Fatalotti | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:45 PM
All right. Great start. Outta the office now and over to the local pub for a burger and TV viewing. Life is good.
Posted by: Bob | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:46 PM
Dom got a good kick up the arse the other day for showing a lack of hustle. He's kinda responded well.
Posted by: BloodStripes | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:46 PM
Is Ryno still considered a defensive liability? Or have we accepted he's actually not that bad?
Posted by: Lincoln Hawkes | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:49 PM
No hitter?
Posted by: Bake McBride was Here | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:51 PM
Lee showing Beckett how to play.
Posted by: Hugh Mulcahy | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:52 PM
Take note, Brown: that's how you run one out.
Posted by: Bake McBride was Here | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:53 PM
Nice AB. Make it count Polly.
Posted by: Fatalotti | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:56 PM
Damn, is Polly's BA really down to .288?
Posted by: Fatalotti | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:57 PM
I'm not surprised that Brown hit a homer. Beckett's never seen him before, so maybe he thought he could sneak one by him.
I am surprised, however, that Jimmie worked a walk.
Posted by: Kutztown Fan | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:58 PM
How bout a hit and run?
Posted by: Spitz | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:58 PM
NESN announcers > Philly tv guys
Posted by: GBrettfan | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 07:59 PM
Polanco's struggles continue.
Posted by: MG | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 08:01 PM
Nice to Jroll steal a base, but what was that little hop he did before he took off. He was always so horizontal with his sprinting. That little vertical movement cost him a split second.
Posted by: Lincoln Hawkes | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 08:01 PM
The Phillies are play smart baseball thus far. Smart and patient at bats and running the bases well.
Posted by: mvptommyd | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 08:02 PM
Ugh, weak 3-1 swing. Still, some nice ABs from the hitters that inning.
Posted by: Fatalotti | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 08:04 PM
Swinging at a bad pitch there up 3-0. Wasted opportunity.
Posted by: MG | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 08:05 PM
Meant 3-1.
Posted by: MG | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 08:05 PM
If Lee pitches another gem tonight, I don't see how he doesn't win NL player of the month for June. This has really been one crazy good month for Lee.
Posted by: Fatalotti | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 08:06 PM
Figures once I praise the batters, Utley takes a horrible pitch to fly out.
Posted by: mvptommyd | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 08:06 PM
Every time Gonazalez comes up with no one on base, I smile.
Posted by: Fatalotti | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 08:08 PM
That was a strike; at least, it would've been for Beckett.
Posted by: Bake McBride was Here | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 08:12 PM
Great pitch! Lee froze him.
Posted by: mvptommyd | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 08:13 PM
Go ahead and complain about that pitch, Youk. I'm sure you weren't complaining when Beckett got those pitches even further off the plate for strikes.
Posted by: Fatalotti | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 08:13 PM
I rather watch this any day. Forget offense. Give me a pitchers duel.
Posted by: mvptommyd | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 08:14 PM
7 pitches neededto get "old Man" Youkilis out.
Posted by: No1 | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 08:14 PM
tilt's command is spot-on.
Posted by: bullit | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 08:15 PM
Youkilos has the exact stance I used as a kid playing wiffle ball and imitating Julio Franco.
Posted by: Timr | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 08:15 PM
They are getting better swings at Beckett than some of these other schleps they've been seeing lately (namely Julio Vargas)
Posted by: Marc H | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 08:18 PM
Ibanez going to go on a tear any day now, right?
Posted by: Fatalotti | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 08:18 PM
... and the Phils needed all of 7 pitches to make 3 outs.
*&^%$#@!!!!
Posted by: No1 | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 08:20 PM
The Red Sox have a guy in the lineup tonight with a .106 BA and .180 OBP?
Thought I'd seen everything.
Posted by: Fatalotti | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 08:22 PM
fata: Last year it started on July 2nd for Ibanez. If it doesn't turn around by the 1st week after the ASB, changes must be made.
Posted by: mvptommyd | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 08:22 PM
no, sarge. it's gonna be a short night if he starts dropping that curve in.
Posted by: bullit | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 08:24 PM
I see your Boston super-offense and raise you one Cliff Lee.
Posted by: Fatalotti | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 08:25 PM
Gotta use two hands to catch those balls, Brown.
Posted by: Bake McBride was Here | Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 08:25 PM
