I just came back from traveling through time and visiting aliens and I was happy to see that they have things called blogs now. Golly, who would have thunk? I was also suprised to see that the name Jeff is now spelled Geoff? Maybe aliens got to Geoff’s parents too. Oh well, maybe the ghosts of Mitch Williams will never go away. Speaking of Mitch, I visited him when I traveled back to 2003. I can’t believe that such upstanding Philadelphia fans were threatening his life. It just doesn’t fit into their reputation as being classy. Oh well, I am off to my wife beating lessons. Today I am teaching Brett Myers.

I don’t think anyone said there’s anyone on the Phillies staff other than Hamels that’s better than him. That’s not saying much though.

The most frustrating part of Mets fans who come here beating your chest is that you’re acting like a one game lead in July and beating what is proving to be a weak Phillies’ team is winning Game 7 of the World Series. When the Phillies were in first place for 3 months all we were talking about is how this team wasn’t good enough to face the Brewers or the Cubs. Now all I’m hearing about how Ollie Kofax stuck out the magnificent Ryan Howard who, as we all know, never strikes out.

You can’t say he’s not a better SP than anyone on the Phillies except for Cole Hamels. You are crazy if you don’t think so.

No, Perez pitched well. But he only pitches well against hacky, fastball-hitting teams (Phils, Texas, Cincinnati). For the most part heâ€™s pretty bad.

Virtually the entire offense is in a funk. They better straighten the ship out… and fast! The blew a sensational performance by Moyer.

James, it’s amazing how selective your 10 hours in first place has made your memory. Ollie Perez = ace.

Look Phils: now is the time to step it up. I agree with pretty much everyone here’s conclusion that the team seems to have lost many things (consistent hitting being one of them…oh yeah, and games) and most of all what they’re lacking now is effort. I don’t know where the motivation went, but just about everyone on the team seems to have adopted a blase attitude about the whole thing. I give Ryan Howard credit for his attitude during his first few terrible months this year, because at least he looked like he was trying and concentrating…things just weren’t coming together right, and he admitted it and tried to work through it. This is especially noticeable and admirable given the general feeling out on the field now. What a contrast.

I’m glad that I found this blog, because I’m getting sick and tired of our daily papers shying away from dishing it out. Especially because nearly every reporter is too afraid to say anything about Utley’s performance lately, and that needs to be changed. You can see it in his eyes and his arms, in his whole approach, when he comes up to bat. It’s not that he’s not seeing the pitches–it’s that he doesn’t seem to want to try to.

Thanks for the honesty guys. It’s refreshing to find!

@Chase Mutley: You’re a fool if you call a 94 mph fastball and 82 mph slider from Perez “lowball junk”.

First time ever on this site – love seeing these Phillie fans freaking out after this series – imagine if it was a sweep! (like it should have been)

Keep lingering on the other team’s home plate after you score the tying run Shane Victorino, you’re a real hero. Nothing better than to see Jimmy Rollins having an awful season after his 2007 “MVP” coughcoughbullsh*t season.

the phillies just aren’t that good. They represent all philadelphia teams, they’re pretty good……..but they aren’t winners
