okay, chris, thats a unique perspective. i didn’t know that facts were so offensive to you. my bad!

i’ll take away the RBI stats if you take away the batting average. in the pursuit of originality, i guess. deal? i mean you’ve harped on that more days straight than espn has the rbi’s.

Utley wouldn’t win the triple crown or even 1/3 of it. I mean that by no disrespect. Utley is arguably the best player in baseball right now. Howard will have the most RBI’s and homers. I know how much we all hate him, but those are the breaks. Chipper will have the highest average.

Is it okay to point out that Howard is actually leading the NL in RBI’s over the last 30 days with 33. And that’s with Utley being right behind him, often clearing the bases with with 31 RBI’s.

My point of view on Howard is we pay him to be a run producer, not a triple crown threat. He’s never gonna hit 300 again. The league has adjusted to him in that regard. He’s a .260 – 280 hitter tops. So he’s got a ways to go to get there. But as far as the run production, to have only his teamate, and two other players in league ahead of him. THAT’s what we pay him to do.

There is DEFINITELY something special about this team. Tim Malcolm concurs with the thought that I have; that not in my 60 years on this earth and my 50 years as a cognizant Phillies fan, have I seen a Phillies team score 20 runs twice in a season, let alone twice in 17 days. Everyone recalls that they pulverized the Rockies and then went on a 45 run 3 game spree sweeping the Rox. Hopefully, they haven’t burned out the offense this time and that we see another Phillies sweep. 43-28 would look awfully good headed home to play the Red Sox.

So since I can’t watch the game, I’m sitting on a porch overlooking the beautiful Long Island Sound. A little iced tea, a laptop and a nice breeze on a warm day. Ahhh.

It’s a blackout for we out-of-area fans. BOOO.

And Bruce, I know I’m berating a bit about them, but do they know the word “boo”? They don’t get angry when their team loses 20-2, but they cheer Aaron Miles. Come on. I bet those cheers were “good job” cheers. Maybe I’m still bitter because of the “Baseball Heaven” comments.
