    Could the NL East race basically be over by the All Star break?

    We knew the Phils pitching had to improve, it couldn't get worse, and the bats will get even better.

    This NL East race could basically be over sometime in August.

    I'm already looking forward to a Phillies-Yankees WS to get payback for 1950. Ha!

    Nice to see the Phils drop two games, two nights in a row they should have won.

    It must really suck to not have a closer

    If the Sillies lost 3 or 4 starters to injuries the lineup that they
    would put out there would resemble a grapefruit league lineup too.

    It's a long season fellas, talk doo doo all you want. The bottom line, come October
    I'll be seeing a lot of Mets sig lines around here.

    Steve
    Good for you.

    That's why they play 162 games a year. Any team or pitcher can have a great day. Lets see, didn't the Dodgers have a fairly good series when they were in Philly this year? Oh yes, they have won the last two against the Phillies too....

    Not having a good closer right now sucks much less than not being able to beat the Pirates or Nationals. image

    Heck, Tony Romo is laughing at the Mets these days.

    We have owned you all at your place for 25 innings, sure you beat up our closer, but I wouldn't be happy about that. You have NO offense and you can't
    even fill the stands half way. Beating up on the weak #*@(&amp;* NL West won't mean anything come September. You all couldn't even take us 6 games in the
    playoffs with CC and Manny, not you have neither.

    Nothing to gloat about if I was a Dodgers fan!

    Phillies gonna win the game tonight and get a split with supposedly the best team in baseball in their house, and the Phillies could have easily swept this team with a little bit of luck.

    I feel it's high time for everyone to acknowledge that the Philadelphia Phillies are the best team in baseball...and the best team of the 21st century.

    should of been a Phils sweep, worst part was having to hear about Manny every single second, add in Joe Morgan and I was about to
    shoot myself.

    Umm, didn't the Dodgers take 2 of 3 in your house? Phillies are very good, nobody's gonna deny that, but the Dodgers aren't exactly slouches, either.

    Thanks Steve - with your history of making negative posts against the Phillies, and then the Phillies always turn things around immediately after your posts, I now expect
    Lidge not to blow another save opportunity the rest of the season. Ha! Ha!

    BTW - The Phillies are in first place in the NL East just in case you can't bear any longer to check the standings and see how far your mercenaries are outa first place. Ha! Ha! Ha Ha!

    Kevin,

    It doesn't matter what it should have been. The Dodgers got the 2 W's against the Phillies and split the series and have the better record against the Phills this year. That's all the matters.

    Don't you realize the games are 9 innings and do have extra innings for a tie????




    << <i>We have owned you all at your place for 25 innings, sure you beat up our closer, but I wouldn't be happy about that. >>


    So if the Phillies are playing a game that they are losing the entire game and then they pull it out in the 9th or extra innings and win it...You aren't happy? Or you should be embarrassed? No, you should be happy that your team pulls it out.

    The Dodgers clearly have had pitching issues throughout the entire season and their bats have been inconsistent throughout the year, yet they seem to find a way to grind out some W's this year. Again it's a 162 game season so we'll see what happens.





    << <i>You have NO offense and you can't
    even fill the stands half way. >>



    Attendence for yesterday's game was 42,288
    Attendence for Saturday's game was 41,412
    Attendence for Friday's game was 52,538
    Attendence for Thursday's game was 33,839


    So you are saying that Dodger Stadium holds over 80,000 people. Are you more stupid than I thought?

    Did you think that maybe lots of fans decided to stay at home on Thursday night and Sunday to watch the Lakers game? Yes they did.




    << <i>Beating up on the weak #*@(&amp;* NL West won't mean anything come September. >>


    The Dodgers have been winning games against the entire NL and yes it does matter if they do beat up the teams in the NL West. The Dodgers will be in a position to be in the playoffs and hopefully they will pull of a trade or an pick up a free agent. Plus their young players like Ethier, Kemp and Martin will only be getting better

    no Bman, the only thing that matter is the Phillies beat the snot out of the Dodgers in the championship game last year. Even with the great Manny and
    CC, you all couldn't even win 2 against us. I saw nothing in this series for me to believe that the same thing wouldn't happen if we meet again this
    year.

    oh and congrats to Furcal on getting his second homer of the season.

    I will never argue with someone's opinion Kev...I will be more than glad to post the facts to your wrong observations like I did in the above post.

    Yes the Phillies won last year, but it's a new season.

    The Dodgers haven't had Manny and Furcal is struggling on both offense and defense, and they lack pitching....But they are certainly on track the last time I checked the standings in ALL of MLB. image

    Like I said, the Dodgers have played plenty of weak NL West teams, not a true test in my opinion. None the less your starting pitching looks to be on
    target and will keep you all in games. Good luck the rest of the way and hope to see you in the post season!
