Ugh! A new front office look would be more effective.— gentian- Should we use our tickets tonight to see this 'new look' same result OF? Does Mike Lieberthal tip the scales? (heck no) Or do we reasonably expect that it will rain and the game will stink, as usual?— PhillySubsMac
- I vote that you use the tickets and support your team instead of being a frontrunner. At least you can get crab fries and some hot dogs and boo Bastardo when Manuel stubbornly runs him out there in the 8th inning.— jimbo jones
- I think anybody with tickets for any remaining 2012 games should get a price reduction since half the lineup belongs in the minor leagues.Lets watch the ticket sales next year if there's no new quality players on the Phillies.They reduced the payroll but not the ticket prices. As always the poor fans pay the piper.— RonGon

- LOL @ the new front office comment. i'm literally not going to the 5 games left I have tickets for. waste of too much money on parking, beer, etc. for no entertainment. i'd rather watch the game at a bar— main liner
- Looking at this lineup I just had a flashback to the late 90s.— guyguy4
- thats right just keep f$%#kin with D Brown until you trade him— PhillyPhilly
- Oh, oh, I think is going to be windy tonight. Not a good idea to sit your best defensive OF and playing musical chairs. Not with Doc pitching. What the heck, is Spring Training.— EL Zorro
- If this new look outfield does not pay dividends, you can look to see Amaro's next plan- a Hoveround with a pitching machine and glove taped to it.— AreaMan
- Never should have traded Wilson Valdez. All downhill from there. He would have saved us from 20 Wigginton errors. Ruben needs to go...— fins
- I guess we'll see if Brown will butcher RF like he did in the past. Is Schierholtz a CFer? This OF tonight makes me nervous. I don't mind giving guys playing time but this isn't fantasy baseball.— AvoidSundanceVacations
- You have a wonderful player in center field tonight. I am a Giants' fan and season ticket holder until my husband retired and we moved. I am devastated that Nate was traded. Give him a chance and you will love him as we did. What he did for the Olympic Team he can do for you. Don't be such frontrunners. I waited for 52 years for the Giants.— zuzu1

- Hey idiots, they said they want to see Brown play all three outfield spots. This is no surprise. I have to agree with the Front Runner comments. The Wild Card is not out of the question just yet.— Paul SoTX
- What a bunch of whiners. We have been treated to five years of great baseball, the best stretch in the team's history, and all you do is complain when things aren't going well. Yeah, real "fans" here!— phillyinsd
- how are they messing with dom brown? he's in the starting lineup. this is what passes for news these days I guess.— dreinterests
-
- I'd like to know how many of you posters who criticize fans for not using their tickets now have actually paid to see games themselves. As someone already posted, the additional expenses add up quickly. I have tickets and I'm not going to every game I have left. I'm not a front-runner - the experience of watching this team is just simply not worth what it used to be.— phils_tnj1
- sorry doc, but if that lineup is our best, turn out the lights.— defg0003
- Stroller leads off the game with a groundout jog to first. Same ol, same ol.— wo_fat
- Nice win tonight. Can you please let bynum throw out the first pitch soon? Nice welcome to PHILLY Touch. GO PHILLIES!!!!!!!!— Darryl Cofield
