Nice win to break a 5 game losing streak.

10,000 in Tampa for a potential playoff clinching game. Great baseball town.

Koji–40 Innings  Pitched 5 Walks—another great effort—SIGN THIS GUY!!!!

Okay Markakis might never be a big time home run hitter but he does get timely hit after timely hit.

26 Homers for Jason Werth—hmmmmmm  Charlie Manuel is clearly the best manager in baseball as the Phillies clinch 4th straight East Division title.

The phenom’s omission from the NL All Star team stands out as another ridiculously mistake by MLB. Withourt him in the game there is virtually no reason to watch the game unless you are a Yankee fan. Charlie Manuel should realize this is the fan’s game. Are you excited about seeing Matt Capps instead.

The Yankees will end the World Series tinight. Chase Utley might hit another homer but the Yankees will get to Pedro early , mainly by elevating his pitch count. Pedro is good for only 75-80 pitches and that’s with more rest then he will have had tomorrow night. Arod will end this game early and maybe Tex will finally contribute. Johnny Damon will be MVP.

Everyone, especially Charlie Manuel, thought Brad Lidge was back to his old self just in time, but he allowed three runs in the ninth which gave the Yankees the win 7-4 in a key Game 4, making them one win away from winning the World Series.  The Phillies face a very uphill battle down three games to one; one that I don’t believe they can win.

This is a great matchup between two very solid teams that have the ability to win big.  It starts on Wednesday, and here are my thoughts on the advantages:

Hitting-

The Phillies have a solid combination of power and speed.  Chase Utley, Ryan Howard, and Jayson Werth are a powerful 3-4-5 in the lineup that can all hit the long ball well.  Jimmy Rollins and Shane Victorino are a good 1-2 on the basepaths, if not with their average.  The … Read More »
