Ok, it's just the Nats. We know they're a bottom feeder and barely pass as a major league team.
I texted a good friend of mine last night after the sweep and he responded by saying, "Should this even count in the standings?"
Of course it should. You play who you play in major league baseball. The good teams are supposed to beat the bottom feeders. This is what separates the cream from the crumbs.
Never the less, it's nice to see the offense waking up. They had another big night last night and this could be the beginning of something good. I need to see more though.
Last night Chase Utley and the Phils went up against the pitcher who nearly ended Utley's season last year, with that pitch that broke his finger. I'm talking about John Lannan.
And, things got a little dicey in the latter innings after Kendrick hit a couple of batters when Nationals reliever Jesus Colome plunked Utley in the side with a pitch.
Both sides were warned about it. Charlie Manuel thinks Colome intentionally hit Utley, but refused to say whether they would retaliate against the Nats the next time they play.
The Phils take on the Cardinals tonight in St. Louis at 8:15. Cole Hamels takes the hill against Kyle Lohse.
The Randy Moss award goes to the Phillies this week
The Phillies win this week's Randy Moss award for being close, but not getting it done. Or, so they tell us. I don't even think they tried to make a trade, just like I don't think the Eagles really tried to get Randy Moss-hence the name of the award.
Pat Gillick says they "almost" got a left-handed reliever.
"We got agreement from one club, and they were trying to get agreement on players from the other club," Gillick said before last night's game against the Washington Nationals at Nationals Park.
Don't you love how the Eagles and Phillies try, but can't get it done? Or, as I said-so they tell us.
It's nearly as sickening as ESPN's minute-by-minute obsession with Brett Favre. Now, they're updating us on his text messages. Next, they'll tell us when he's going to take a dump.
Enough already!
