Ahh, right Phil. Thanks. Well, that’s definitely more impressive.

Nice to take 2/3 against the Pirates because the trip out West is gonna be tough…It’d be nice to see em come outta there with at least 2 wins in each series.

Tim, Blanton dominated the Cards, not the Nats. You’re thinking of Myers.

Hilarious stuff, guys. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Hey, I’m wrong at times too (not many, though).

Jury is still out on Blanton, but I’m impressed with him right now (still, it’s been Pittsburgh and Washington he’s dominated).

Anywho, I stand by my point that Brunt is good to start because his fielding is much better than Dobbs, while Dobbs is much better in a pinch. (The old Brunt/Ruiz/Jenkins lineup should NEVER happen, however.)

When all is said and done, the fact that everyone has their own opinions to bring here is the best part of the site. That it’s an open forum. So keep it that way, and if anyone is “slurping” me … well, sucks to be them. Ha.

The Phils were very fortunate to emerge from this homestand 2 games and 2 1/2 games ahead of the Mets and the Marlins respectively. They were offensively tentative on their home turf going 3-3 for the stand.
Offensively, they better gear up if the expect a stretch drive reminiscent of last season. No complaints about starting pitching or the ‘pen.

We beat Maddux 7-3, Lost to Young 4-2 (Moyer), and beat Wolf 3-2.

That’s not so bad. We can beat Baek. We’ve already beat Young this year, correct?

That being said, I’d like a 4-3 road trip at the least. 5-2 would be ideal though.

I’m more worried about the Pads than the Dodgers. We should beat up on all of their pitchers aside from Kurshow. If Hamels can keep us in the game maybe we can get to their bullpen. I don’t know what Padres pitchers we’ll be facing, but I am very worried about facing Peavy, Maddux(he’s a beast at home), and Young.
