   wow, according to yahoo both werth AND burrell won’t be in the lineup tonight. maybe we’ll see bruntlett in left field against his old team? i can’t imagine taguchi has hit well enough to warrant a start.

   Great point on Kendrick. Tonight will be a tough game for him. If he can do the normal 6 innings 3 runs, the Phillies have a good chance to win. Oswalt is a tough opponent!

   the phils first two hitters looked like they were trying to get out.

   also, benson isnt coming anytime soon. they need help form someone else.

   i just said benson gave up 4 runs in 4 innings in AAA. not bad for first time back in a year for a 4-5 era pitcher but hes not ready yet. itll be a while i think. so they need to try something before hes ready because they dont have the time to wait for him. eaton and myers are killing this team. they gotta replace at least one of them ASAP

   nice to see howard string together some small fashion of consistency. at least a positive from him rather than a negative.

   i swear this pitching staff will drive me to the padded rooms by seasons end. theyre maddening

    mike- totally agreed. i am sick of them talking all their shit. i cant believe that asshole that came on here yesterday claiming ugly to be better than utley. then he ran away before anyone could argue his points. but one thing we can be sure of is that they will get what is coming to them.

    Go Phils

    Though it was practically out of necessity, using the whole bench isn’t the best idea there.

    great win! awesome to see howard start to come around..yep i said it…it really looks like it…even his strikeouts tonite he looks confident and the swing looks good… trade value is what im thinking

    Ok – Phillies trainers and manager: when in doubt, DONT play werth. its ok to put him on the 15-day DL. but please dont screw this up by making his injury worse.

    Kendricks ERA is over 5 now, thats cause for a little concern. however, he just needs to do what weve come to expect from him: 6 innings 3 runs. if yorue 5th starter can do that consistently thats not really so bad considering all the horrible pitching out there. thats an issue though because you need someone to bump him to the 5th slot. eaton cannot do that guy and they need someone who can be a solid 4th guy. the 4th starter is actually supposed to be good on a world series team, not average. kendricks ok, but hes a good 5th starter not a 4th.

    oh well, they won. so hopefully these concerns will be addressed by the nex time the rotation gets around to kendrick.

    nice to see ryan howard mash a little to the opposite field. also, nice to see burrell get a pinch hit hr.
