Now I'm convinced the world is ending Saturday night

hopefully it happens today so i dont have to watch chacin vs blanton tonight

when factoring in both teams starters and their offenses this has to be the mis match of the year

The Phillies entered Wednesday's game 10th in the NL in runs scored. While that's troubling at first, it should be pointed out that just nine more runs this season - a small number when spread out over more than 40 games - would move them up to fifth in the league. More important: Only three other NL teams - the Reds, Cardinals, and Braves - have better run differentials. The Phils aren't that far off the production pace - even though, as Manuel noted, they've been without some key players, including Chase Utley. (Oh, and if you think Jayson Werth would fix all this, check his numbers with the Nats. He's not exactly mashing the ball down in D.C.)

But wait, you say again. They can't always win close games, you cry. That's true, too. No matter how well the starters pitch, the Phils - and this will surprise some of you - can't win them all. Sometimes, they're going to lose several in a row. That's nothing new, either. Last year, they had four three-game losing streaks, three four-game slides, and one five-game skid. And they still won 97 games.

Not sure.  Kendrick came out to start - seemed to surprise the announcers.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Blanton had elbow discomfort when warming up.

I have stomach discomfort watching this.
