yeah because the Phils don't have the best record since how long is it now? Braves have been winning almost as much, I don't think the Braves gave us anything. Phillies have won a ton of games and have definitely taken first place.
I know you're upset, and it's understandable, but come on. The Phillies are the first NL team to hit 80 wins this season.
exact;y Dawk, it's not the Phillies have backed into first, they have played their asses off and won a ton of games even in the face of the Braves winning some games in an improbable fashion.
nice line on heavy b from the daily news. He threw 101 pitches, took a line drive off his butt, had a big-time collision with black-eyed, calamity-friendly Logan Morrison trying to cover the bag on a third-inning dribbler. This is far from official, but my guess is that Joe Blanton experiences more contact in an average game than Asante Samuel does.
Phils wind up taking 3 of 4 from the Marlins with a 10-6 win. 5-2 for the home stand...Mets up next!!
It sucks that J-Roll had to leave the game early hurt. Hopefully it won't be a big deal. Go Cards tomorrow so we have a 1 game lead and not a tie with the Braves.
Which is why I want the Cards to beat you guys tomorrow to extend the lead to a full game instead of a tie. **********Automerged Doublepost********** Cards up 7-3 over the Braves in the 4th.
10-3 in the 6th **********Automerged Doublepost********** 11-4 is the final and Phillies have a 1 game lead with 21 to go. Race to the finish.
