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.

This Is Not Just a Post About How Sucky the Phillies Are!

Ok, That Guy hasn't updated himself on this hallowed page in quite a while. In fact, if you check, the last update might have been before That Guy got a new job (however, sad that job is). But anyway, I had no intention of making this post about how bad the Phillies are. In fact, after the past few days, I have given up complete hope about them Bums. But, there is just something burning deep. Maybe it's because they have been there all season. Maybe it's because they have a core team of players that had the potential to produce three MVP's in a row. Not that that is going to happen now, but it was possible. Or maybe it was just me being completely stupid like I am every year.

All I am going to say is, that despite 3rd, 4th and possibly even 5th chances... and just when you thought he was going to bring himself back from the depths of his narcisistic, wife-beating, bull crap. Then when you need him the most... he goes and blows up. Well, thanks a lot!
