Daily Dozen

Well the Phils have played 4 games in this defining 12 game stretch and so far they are 3 and 1.  Is it skill?  Is it luck?  Well I am here to say that it is the us vs. them mentality that has brought on this mini streak.  Ever since Charlie Manuel and players such as Jimmy Rollins (on the ESPN Budwieser Hot Seat), and Brett Meyers have said the fans and media have been too harsh on the Phils they have been winning!  If this is the case then I say we must continue to boo…if that is what it takes to light a spark under these guys then, whatever works!  At this rate they will finish the crucial 12 game strecth at 8-4 and be right back in the race (they play both the Marlins and the Braves)  and the Braves are now utilizing a closer by committe and John Thompson just got hurt (he is expected to be out 2-3 months) so now is the time to go!
