   Fabio Castro-R-Phillies Aug. 28 - 3:12 pm et

   Phillies recalled LHP Fabio Castro from Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
   Castro will be making his season debut after going 8-4 with a 4.71 ERA and 105/52 K/BB ratio in 120 1/2 innings between Double-A and Triple-A. He made 18 starts and 12 relief appearances in the minors, but will pitch in middle relief for the Phillies initially.

   Andrew Carpenter-R-Phillies Aug. 28 - 3:10 pm et

   Phillies optioned RHP Andrew Carpenter to Double-A Reading.
   Carpenter was with the team for just 24 hours, as the Phillies wanted an extra arm available following Tuesday night’s 14-inning game.

17. Comment posted by Danny on August 28, 2008 at 5:04 pm (#822168)

    Here’s the record of these teams in games decided after the sixth inning (meaning the score was tied after six, or the lead changed): Phillies 31-15, Mets 11-22. Nobody we’ve talked to thinks that stat is an aberration.

    “One part of it, obviously, is the difference in bullpens,” one scout said. “But the other part of it is heart. I love the Phillies’ grit. And now that [Jimmy] Rollins is hitting again, they’re the team to beat again.”

    I just wanted to laugh at this again.

18. Comment posted by udamnwright Dunn should come cheap on August 28, 2008 at 5:05 pm (#822169)

    Blah I wonder if that is the same scout who hated the Mets farm system besides F! of coarse

    Brilliant analysis. Read it two pages ago and I’m still laughing like a little school girl.

    Excelsior 309, and they want $115/ticket for seats that appear to be worse than the ones I have. Ooh, I’m sure exclusive access to the climate controlled “Excelsior Club” will be worth the extra cost.

    And WTF do they have doing their marketing, Stan Lee?

    I don’t like it, but I gots ta root for the philth tonight against the cubbies…..maybe it could be called after 16, with both teams losing 4 or 5 players to injury.

37. Comment posted by pj on August 28, 2008 at 5:27 pm (#822189)

    i am rooting for ryan ludwick to show up at wrigley and beat both teams to death with a rock rake.

    Rollins is too gritty for injury. If you hurt him instead of being injured he’ll just become the omnipresent arbiter of heart size for the universe.

    I actually watched the original 70s italian flick a few weeks ago. pretty terrible but kinda funny. Fred Williamson is kinda awesome

    i heard its gonna be bigtime in terms of budget and the script is supposedly amazing. He wants some major stars like brad pitt and the such but we’ll see. he’s kinda crazy and changes his mind all the time.

    I’m expecting good things

    Cyclones are actually a step down from Savannah, so its not really fast-tracking

    reeks of a Jeff Wilpon PR move

    i dont care though! i get to see him now. i want his autograph ON MY FOREHEAD

    Friday at 7 or sunday at 5. home both those days. sunday at 5 seems swell

    I would, but i’m exhausted, i’ve been looking forward to my apartment for a long time now

    I’m also in a suit with no clothes on me to change and i would have to leave like right now, its a bit much.

    sunday though…..bery bery tempting

    bah dep you just lazy. Any move to Brooklyn for a Mets player is not a demotion since the Wilpon’s actually own the team want it to excel and it gives the suits a chance to take a good look at the kid.
