   they really dont want to start golsons service time this year even though he can contribute to the big team in the second half of the season. castro did ok in his start last year if i recall. he wasnt ready then but still battled. he could replace someone in the pen in the second half perhaps and be that second long man/starter swingman that ive been wanting them to add to the pen to go with chad durbin

   Is Golson the real deal now? Is it safe to say that?

   I must admit, after that Astros series I miss having a guy like Bourn come off the bench. Golson would be perfect.

   Gnomicide, our bench is fine. Let’s worry about the starting lineup – they’re not fine.

   Tim, Jenkins is stoll rockin’ the Jeltz?

   Golson looks primed to spell victorino at CF as soon as an outfield roster spot opens up assuming he can get on base and they want to start his service time.

   I unfortunately live in CT too, closer to New Britain. Where can I find the expected starters for the upcoming games?

   Mike T: “Our bench is fine”?? With Rollins out, the team has one infielder available on the bench in Dobbs. The remaining “bench” players, Snelling, Taguchi and Coste aren’t exactly a cause for anxiety or gray hairs for the opposing manager.

   The Phillies were so concerned about Rollins S-L-O-W recovery that an MRI exam was performed on him. The good news it show nothing more serious than an initial injury. The Phillies also denied a rumor that they were ” preparing to to place Rollins on the DL”.

   Unfortunately, as in the first series with Mets, Rollins will miss most or all of the home series (vs Mets) beginning tonight.

   I have a very good feeling about tonight. For some reason I think our boys will come out and score early on Johan. I may be crazy but that is just a feeling i got. Oh, and for how great Meyers was yesterday, I would have to go with Coste for Ashburn…

   The Rays locked up Longoria long-term today, NICE move by them. Thats what the phillies should have already done with hamels. players hate it when you make them wait for that with arbitration. i guarantee if they make hamels go to arbitration next year he will totally lose it and become T.O.

   Ruiz has 43 ABs to Costes 20 this year. Completely unacceptable. We BETTER see Coste in the lineup tonight.
