A Window Closes, But A Door Opens


Yes, that gasp you heard earlier this evening was the sound of all Philly phans reacting to getting kicked in its collective crotch. Today's game against the Nats could not have gone any worse for the local 9. Not only did the bull pen prevent the Phils from sweeping the lowly Nats, but they lost their best all around hitter, Chase Utley, for the next three weeks.


Does anyone see this team staying remotely close in the playoff standing while Chase it out nursing his broken hand? Didn't think so.


The Phils' season is over. The quicker you all get used to it, the faster you can get prepared for the Eagles' season.


You know what guys, I'm relieved. I can finally put this team in the rear view mirror and focus on football. We all knew this season was going to end badly. It just happened sooner than expected in true Philly fashion.

I am not too upset about the Utley thing because it means that Coste will definitely stay on the team for a while longer. If Uncle Charlie makes him the regular catcher, he can help carry the Phillies to the playoffs.
