Pads lead 3-2 in the 9th and they just allowed the Cards to get a lead off double.

The Phils are just preparing us for the nutkick.  Maximum pain and suffering.

Scoreboard watching is going to kill me.

So is everything alright now that Howard and Utley are back?

So is everything alright now that pitching is back?

phillies scored more runs in june than august but went 9-19 in June and 17-12 in August.  They started to pitch well the last two months.

[Geowhizzer]

They're at least making September interesting.  Who thought that would happen in July?

[PhillyPhreak54]

Better bullpen pitching (namely the guys in the 8th; Tony B and Aumont now)
Timely hits
Kendrick's last several starts

Get Halladay halfway back to normal and hope Utley and Choke turn it up and its gonna be even better

[MDS]

a lot of luck too

they fell ass backwards into wins, definitely stopped giving a shtein and have benefited from the cards, doyers and pirates all choking. all of a sudden they are in it and now its ON

i mean seriously st louis should be 10 games up on them but here we are. farg you la russa.

[Eagles_Legendz]

and the diamondbacks take the lead.  so if the dodgers lose tonight, all three teams ahead of them will have just been swept while the Phillies swept Miami right?  Crazy.

[Eagles_Legendz]

need the brewers to start losing.  rooting for LA to take 3/4 vs STL.

[MDS]

the make or break series is cards @ cubs

if the cubs show up and take 2/3 that could do it. if they lay down and stl sweeps that might be enough.

im not even bothering looking up la or pit they are both jokes. brewers are awful on the road, so you have to figure that pit-dc-cinci stretch will end them.

phillies basically can lose 1 game between now and the braves series next friday. maybe that night is tonight. next cloyd start hes facing the mets and something called mchugh.

[SunMo]

imagine where they would be if they had a legitimate bullpen.

it's a shame rube farged them on that front this year.

hopefully aumont can be the next in a long line of prospects who come up and blow the doors off of teams during a post season run
