New post about phils/ giants/ part 1

Its been LONG time, for which i am to blame.
My favorite team (Phils) has been destroyed for a month, and my least favorite, the Giants, has been rollin' like Nolan. Now, one of these is an abberration, and one is not. As to which is which, perhaps youll be surprised.

Phils troubles for a month:
Basically, for a month, the Phils have won one of every 3 games. They have taken, I think, like one or two series, been THROTTLED by the Bosox, Braves,Mets and other teams with other names. The problems are many. Joe Blanton has been terrible, and he was supposed to be their third best starter. Instead, their third best starter is a dude who is like 50, Jamie Moyer. Well, if youre relying on a 50 year old dude , you may have a problem. Another problem, Jason Werth has done nothing for a month. Literally nothing, utterly killed them. They also miss Jimmy Rollins. Believe me, theres maroons out there who have no clue about baseball and think Rollins is a 260 hitter or doesnt get on base enough, or whatever. But there are glue guys, engine guys. Guys like Chone Figgins to the Angels, Ichiro to the Mariners, and Ian Kinsler for the Rangers. You lose an MVP, you suffer. They replaced him with a nobody. Thats a huge loss. They also have to deal with a good division. Apparently the Mets are good. Who the hell knew? So now the Nats have hung around so long, they called up this 22 year old stud and he dominates. So the Nats are now in it , or think they are. So the Nats..... I am done saying "so the nats, " because frankly, I dont believe it. They are not this good, they arent even good. They have no pitching, their pen isnt very good. No way. So will the Phils turn it around and win division? I lean towards yes. They cannot play worse, they are too good. They have to get Rollins back, and when they do, they will start winning. I am not saying they make the world series, because right now they wont. But its early June, so i wont count them out till August unless some serious shit goes down.


I will be back to do Giants tomorrow.
