Yes, I'm throwing out the Howard Eskin Stone Cold, Mortal Lock for tomorrow night's Phils game against the Nats. However, don't get too excited....I'm predicting a loss. How many times over the past couple years have the Phils had a good road trip, only to come home and promptly lose their first game in front of the locals? It has happened far too many times to give this team the benefit of the doubt. As a result, history tells me to expect a similar result even if the Phils are facing off against the lowly Nats.
I just expect the Phils to come out with the general malaise of a team coming off a west coast trip and feeling full of themselves. If the Phils were smart, they would have flown tomorrow's starter, Kyle Kendrick, back to Phillly a day earlier, but I'm sure they were too cheap to do such a thing.
In conclusion, I see a 6-2 loss. Feel free to send me notes of gratitude after you take money off your bookie.

Eskin is a douchebag. Every time I hear those words "Stone Cold Mortal Lock" it reminds me of the Eagles/Tampa Bay NFC championship game. He lost all credibility in my book after his "Lock" prediction on that game.
Onto the Phils, I'm feeling an 8-3 loss. They will probably drop 2 of 3 to the Nats in the series.
Book it.
Did I mention that Eskin is a douche?
You fairies. Phils win tonite.
I just talked to Dounaghy he said the line just moved in Vegas and the smart money is on the over!!!!
Phils sweep and go on to win the division.
There goes Dave Montgomery masking as George on this board again.
