Series Recap: A breath of fresh air
Monday (3-2 Phillies):
Apparently we got the Good Joe Blanton Monday! I guess I'm pretty happy about that because we kinda would have lost if he had been any worse! Bonus: Ryan Howard home run!
Tuesday (3-2 Phillies):
Deja Vu! LOL I know same score, very different game. I'm sure this way more important to the vast majority of Phillies fans (It was to me) because it was the return of Roy Halladay! The good guys (Dodgers fans will kill me for this) rallied late on Hunter Pence's clutch two-run single! Halladay: 5IP, 2ER, 5H, 0 BB. Solid!
Wednesday (5-3 Dodgers, F/12):
This was a really tough loss for the team because they were on a roll. Lee was good, Chooch tied the game at 1........... (Long break)...........And then Papelbon blew the save (Actually it wasn't lost then, but I like Jake Diekman, and really Pap shouldn't have blown a two-run lead) ! Whatever, ya know at least it was Matt Kemp who beat us and not like Juan Rivera or Mark Ellis!
Ciao!

Weekend Recap: Something Good
So, that was a fun two days!!!! Win-Win-YAY!
Highlights:
~OK, It was Coors Field, but the Phillies did score 8 runs Saturday night! The bullpen only gave up 3 :) Jonathan Papelbon had to bailed out Brian Sanches (Why is this guy in the majors?)
~Chooch was being Chooch-ish! 4 Ribbies!
~Pence may be breaking out (please?!?!)
~Vanimal is good, he is normaly Mr. Reliable, as long as you score at least 4 runs, he should get you the win. He is kinda underrated. I like him at least a little bit more than Lee.
~Cole is good too :D PLEASE ONLY TRADE HIM IF YOU CAN'T GET A MAJOR LEAGUE READY PROSPECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MIKE OLT IS THE ONLY THING I WILL TAKE! THEN TRADE POLY FOR A RELIEVER! NOT TWO PROSPECTS THAT WON'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR YEARS!
Yay! I'm optimistic today! I guess I can deal with Joe tonight because tomorrow night is...
The Return of DOC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WAHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Ciao!

First Half Recap
Hey Y'all! I'm back!
So last night wasn't worth recapping (Yet Again). Now I present the first half recap!
PHILLIES:
Overall Grade: OK, This is hard. They were with out Howard and Utley for most of the season and their recent standing is mostly due is due to a nightmare (so far) July. They had a good May, a fair April and only slightly bad June. So... C.
Rotation: Cole: A. Vanimal: A-. Cliff: B-. Kyle: um.. he's a replacement...so.... C, I guess?, Joe: Well, A until May 15, D since then so C-. Doc: He was hurt, and he awesome, B. Overall: B-.
Bullpen: Papelbon: A-. Everyone Else: Um.. I really don't want to go there! Let's just say that all starters must go 8 innings to get a win :( I don't keep track but I think that they cost us at least 8 games this year! Overall: D-.
Lineup: I really don't feel like giving all of these peeps grades but, Overall: B+, Chooch: A+++++++++!
So, it was definitely a dissapointing first half, I'm not sure much better the second half is actually going to be. I guess there's still a slim chance of them making the playoffs as the second wild card but I really am having my doubts. At this point. I'm not sure they shouldn't just trade Victorino, Polanco and possibly Hamels (Only if they can get Mike Olt from Texas).
Wow, I think that's the most pessimistic I've been in my life :) HEHE! Still LOVE this team!
Now on to the postive..
NATIONALS:
Overall Grade: A! This team has been my saving gracce because I would be seriously depressed if the Braves were winning the division! They are sooooooo much fun to listen to!
Rotation: Stras: A, Gio: A, J-Zimm: A+ (This guy reminds me of Roy Halladay, definitely a future ace!),
E-Jax: A, Ross: B, Wang: C, Overall: Solid A.
Bullpen: A+. Boy, I am JEALOUS!
Line-up: B+. These guys play with so much ENERGY! It's crazy!!! Shout out to Lombo, Harper, Z-Man, Beast, LaRoche, Desi (My current fav... DESI LOVE!), Espi and Flores!
So, opposite of the Phillies this was an amazing half for the team in DC! I really think that they have all pieces they need, and with Jayson and Storen comin' back soon it will only get better!
Oh, and by the way...YOUK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO WHITE SOX! ;) Them and the Nats in the WS would be soooooo cool!

Daily Recap: Phina-LEE!
So... It takes until the 4th of July to get your number two pitcher a win. Yeah, good job guys! Why did it take so long?
OK Bryce. Guess you don't like that!
Anyway, Yesterday was a pretty good day! Baseball available all day and pretty much all of my teams (Primary--Nationals, Phillies, and Secondary--Giants, Rays, White Sox, Rangers) Yes, I like the White Sox! Go Pauly K. and the Big Donkey (Adam Dunn)! YOUK!!!!
WOW, NATIONALS!!!!!!! HOW IN THE WORLD DO YOU GUYS HIT THIS MUCH?????????
OK OK Bryce, We get it! You guys are good! You were good the whole time and now you exploded! And I love it! Beast and Z-Man and Bryce and Desi (I love him now!) and the rest of them! The Giants shouldn't even try today! We WILL light up Matt Cain and you can't stop us!
And... now the main event, the Phillies. The game started like it usually did, dig a hole early, although it was a small hole, only 2-0. I was not happy. Then Chase and Chooch did their stuff and the Phillies were winning! Those two are the best and I really hope ryan comes back soon and Pence can hit in his normal fifth spot and get lots and lots of pitches to hit!
Anyway, that was longer than I thought I would write, but you know, gotta recap a Phillies win!
Ciao!
