Good game.  Bring on the Nats!

Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Hopefully they beat the Braves tonight though which will put the Phils just 3 games behind them in the division.

2-0 Braves in the second.  :boo

Patterson is going sunday for the Nats. Didn't hear any offical word that Brito would saturday, but you're probably right to put him in there. He's the only option.

I just heard an interesting little stat on Mike and Mike this morning.

Robinson Tejeda is tied with Pedro Martinez and John Smoltz for having left the most games with a lead (5) only to have the bullpen blow it. 

5 times Tejeda has left the game with a lead and 5 times it's been blown by the BP.  They never stated if the team went on to lose those 5 games or not but that's got to be extremely irritating for a starting pitcher.

CSN showed Brito as the starter.

Tejeda apparantley has shoulder inflamation, and GAVIN FLOYD will start sunday.  :-D

This is bad. We NEED Tejeda to pitch.  :-\

Sindey Ponson is on the market....but I still think hes on the DL.  :paranoid 
Other options include:
1) Pedro Lariano  :P
2) Paul Abbott  :-D
3) Myers on 3 days  >:(
4) Geary, Lopez and the rest of the back of the bullpen go 5/6 innings  :-\

I don't think 4 is such a bad idea. Okay Geary blows, but Lopez has been pretty good. If he goes 2-3 inning, Larinao and Geary combine to get them through 5...then you go to Fultz. Now, this kills the bullpen with no day off that week. So, eh, kinda risky unless Myers goes out the next day and gives everyone a rest.

I guess its the best bet to hope Floyd catches lighting in a bottle or something and actually pitches well.

Yea, on the DL. He can came off next week, I think.
