What a pile of dreck. This isn't Haloween, don't have Kendrick masquerade as a major league pitcher. He and Rube the Boob should both go.

Might as well throw Kendrick against The Phenom. The Phils couldn't hit last night against an 0-5 pitcher with a 12.0 ERA so they certainly were dead meat against Strassberg. Leave Kyle in, let him eat up innings until his arm falls off, and then get ready for tomorrow.

Kendrick reminds me of Brett Myers without the talent...should have convinced Ed Wade to take Kendrick and not Happ.

Morons who post here really are front runners. The guy has pitched very well the last month and the phils are leading the wild card. Take a step away from the ledge...the game's not over.

actually genius, the worst team in MLB (the Pirates) is getting slaughtered by the third worst (the Mets).

Kendrick has not pitched well recently. Gutless Wonder. Braves lose, an opportunity to make up ground, and he comes out unprepared to pitch, nibbling away, throwing drech up there. What's with him and Blanton and the early innings? Great to see the Doobie earning his pay by preparing them to pitch. Phils can't afford to lose any home games to lower echelon teams. Braves are not going to fold.

This mess is coming down to the last week in September and first weekend in October.

Regardless of the pitching; 2 runs in two games against the Nats? Disgraceful. Phils don't deserve to make the playoffs.

Am I asking too much to sweep a team that's 18 games under .500?! 3-run bookends?! Give these fans a refund!
