Even if they are swept tomorrow, their record for that period will be 6-5, they will still be in first place, and their remaining 19 includes no more Philly and a healthy dose of Washington-Atlanta. And the sweep in Milwaukee made the wild card a distinct possibility.

That is the problem the Phillies only mountain is the Mets, they are not even playing for anything else, which is why they got their clocked cleaned last October. Just beat them and move on.

"But if we win all three games, naturally, they're gonna think back to [last year]. It's just human nature." OK, it's time to plant a fastball in his brain. Jimmy Rollin quotes:

All I'm saying is that an argument for him being run out of town right now is an argument for those ABs to be made up largely by Reyes- possibly the only man in baseball with substantially less power than Castillo. If you seriously want someone who _slugs_ .283 in your lineup more often, that's your right, but I don't see how it would actually make the team better.

Give Church a break against the old LH until a RH comes in and he can take Evans or Tatis spot. For today’s game I would like to see
Reyes
Wright
Tatis
Delgado
Beltran
Easley
Evans
Cancel

Move Wright to the 2 hole and try and get him going.

Haha..seriously though, he got a LOT of calls that favored him tonight, esp. on the Luis Castillo K's (that he didn't even argue!). The Greg Grandslam Dobbs homerun was a killer for the game (Imagine if Church could've got that! He's no Endy in the outfield though.) Nice to see them teeing off Lidge a little bit and a LOT of credit to Murphy for the long at-bat battle he had against them. Oh well. Would've been a season-killer for the Phils if the Mets could've rallied in the 9th but they always stick around! Test Myers for roids!
