Madson Not The Answer – Blows Another

Posted by: DC

Brian Roberts smoked a Ryan Madson meatball in the top of the ninth inning to give the Orioles a 6-5 win and extend the Phils’ streak to five straight losses.

“It’s a tough loss – when things are going on like they are now – we have to stay positive, come back tomorrow and win,” Charlie Manual said after the game.

Yes Charlie – you have to win a game.

Ryan Howard gave the Phillies a 5-3 lead with a pinch-hit three-run homer in the seventh, hours after being hospitalized for flu symptoms. But Baltimore rallied against Madson, who has two blown saves and two losses this week in place of injured closer Brad Lidge.

Reminder – the Phillies are 13-21 at home this season and 3-8 in interleague play.

Madson just blows. not only saves and games but in general. He was popular after his playoff performance but who wasnt impressive on that team last year? Now hes back to taking a big one everytime he steps on the mound. He’s a not and people need to drop last year and come back to the present.
