Wow, there's still 16 games left...

Ok, so here's the thing with That Guy and me. We tend to balance each other out, Even Steven, if you will. Last week I'm down on the Phils. They choked, they suck, blah... This week it seems that he's given up. And to even things up, I have to be looking ahead and seeing good things. Myers threw 7 solid innings last night. He only walked 1 batter-- in essence he was the same pitcher that he's been since the all-star break (aka his return from demotion to the minors).



I didn't see the game, so I don't know. However, I feel he did his job. The batters only left 3 men on base. The problem with that, is that they just didn't hit.



But that's enough about the past. This series is big. Let me state it for the millionth time. I hate the wild card! With a sweep, the Phillies can be tied for the wild card. That's three straight wins. It's something that can be done. They're 5 games better then they were at this point last year. They have a chance. I guess you can say I have hope. (And unlike a certain presidential candidate-- I don't see that as audacious at all.) Afterall, they're the fightins.
