Back To Reality

Once again, the Phils show they are a .500 team. Nothing more, nothing less. Just accept it and you will feel much better about things.

Over the last four games, it has become clear that the Phils don't have enough in the lineup, in the starting staff or in the 'pen to play with the big boys. Some of you just accept it and say "I like baseball and I'll just root for the home team come hell or high water."

Eff that. We deserve better. We deserve a GM that will make daring moves like the Flyers made today and won't make trades without getting the player reviewed over by a team physician. We deserve a team that will make that extra move when they are close.

Frankly, we deserve much better than Montgomery, Cholly, and Gillick.

*************************

By the way, I saw an alarming stat this evening during the inning and a half that I watched this evening: Cole Hamels has given up the most gopher balls in the NL. I guess a lot of guess have guessed right on his change up.

Also, I wouldn't expect the Phils to do much better over the next two games against the Tribe. The Indians are sending out lefty starters the next two games and we know how much success the Phils have had against southpaws so far this season.
