Steve the Phils have already won 5 to zip tonight and the Braves are down 3 to 2 in the 7th.

You're right, not over yet...the problem though for the Braves is over the past recent years, the Phillies have been a better second half team...we'll see if that holds up.

The Braves did manage to win tonight 5 to 4 over Seattle to keep them at 4½ games back of the Phils. It should be a good season.
A note on the side. Unlike the Mets and the Dodgers I don't really hate the Phils I just want them to go away sometimes.

I think the no DH thing while playing NL teams really puts a big bug in any AL team's lineup. As for the Red Sox, our case is having Ortiz sit out while the inept pitchers bat and kinda look silly. Ortiz is a key player in our lineup...witness the fact that he almost put one in the Allegheny (on the fly) while recently in Pittsburgh.
Oh well, it is what it is, at some point it needs to be all DH or no DH...there is just an inequity there when two pro teams play under two different rulles, important rules.
You've got a great looking ball team...Fenway allows for wall-ball doubles or easier home runs and a very short right field porch. Who needs the Yankees? Besides, their pitching will be their downfall this season.
Credit where credit is due, the Braves are hanging in there tough. Even the Mets have become somewhat respectable lately.
I like it better this way...to see the Braves and Mets fans NL East championship hopes dashed later in the season rather than too early...it stings more that way.

Oh Stevek, the Braves are back in form again and wonder of wonders, Uggla is starting to get some life in his bat. Prado is in Charlotte playing the Knights with the Gwinette Braves and should be back real soon. It will deffinitely be a great second half. Thats what the game is all about. I love it.

Stevek- You've really teed this one up for us. This trade will go down as one of the worst of recent memory. I understand you're in a position to play for NOW, but trading your top 2 prospects for Hunter Pence is ABSURD. Pence was the best player on the worst team in baseball...in reality he is a journeyman with a below average bat who only excels at stealing bases and has a plus glove. He is not worth top prospects IMO. You should have paid up to rent Beltran for the rest of the year instead. See you in the NLCS.
Well, I'm tired. I need rest and sleep. I've cussed, snorted, ranted, raved, sabotaged stevek's room, went to see the Root Lady, used powders and potients in the Phils locker room, all to no avail. The Phils just won't go away. I'm going to sleep awhile and maybe the bad luck slump will attack the Phils while I'm not looking. Oh well.
