Phillies and Other Thoughts

Image via Wikipedia Sitting here watching the Phillies against the Washington Nationals. The once unhittable Chad Durbin is looking very hittable. The Mets already won, so losing to the Nats is not a good option.

This late in the season last year, we were probably further out, but the Phils are struggling to get the hits when they should be carrying the team. The bullpen has carried them most of the season. Now is the time for the hitters to step up.

If we don't put something together to finish this game, we will be in a precarious position for the weekend series against the Mets. A late season sweep would be ideal, but the Mets are playing well right now, so hoping to get two at this point.

I may even need to watch the Republican convention if things don't start turing around. Well you know how it goes in Citizens Bank Park late in a game like this, E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES.
