Enough of this lollygagging no run support crap. I'm back, I'm ready, and I'm gonna break heads. Dig it? Good. Now excuse me while I go fix some S*&t.
Cliff Lee's gem tonight led the Phillies over the Nationals 4 - 2 following a rain delay. Michael Young led the offense with three doubles.
After a close reading of Jayson Werth's recent comments to the media, his relentless, thoughtful introspection merits nothing so much as a boo, rather: a shave of the knuckles and and a breathe-right strip.
Let us redefine this word.

I've created a new rule.

Chooch is back, so let us rejoice and be glad.
The Phillies have not performed well in 2013. Charlie Manuel has been criticized harshly at times for his baffling loyalty to some veteran players and some of his tactical decisions during games. Should Charlie Manuel be fired?
The stupid Nationals gave themselves the magical comeback they always want, but in the end failed miserably and lost the game to Ryan Howard, Domonic Brown and the also stupid sometimes Phillies.
Now the fun really begins!
Flailing is a good word for the 2013 Phillies.
It is early, right? But still, the large "home/away" splits for Domonic Brown bear watching. During his brief career, he has 21 homers in home games and just 10 on the road in an approximately equal number of plate appearances. Is this statistical
The Phils start a series with NL East rival Washington, and even though they're limping home from a 3-7 road trip, they're still not out of the division race because the Braves and Nats haven't been playing any better over the last 60 days.
When Davey Johnson and Charlie Manuel gather their players before the game tonight between the Nationals and the Phillies, they will share the same motivation: Phillies pitcher John Lannan. See what they have to say.
An ugly loss in Denver brings the Phils' ten-game road trip to a merciful end
Today is a new day filled with new, unbelievable baseball.
I had a great day today. In other words, I didn't watch or listen to the Phillies. It's shaping up to be that kind of year.

Improbable. Impossible, and I'm still not quite sure that actually happened.
Sometimes you just have to look at the positives. Or alternatively, you just have to not make sense.
The Phillies are no longer the threat on the bases that they once were in the days of Victorino, Werth, and younger versions of Rollins and Utley. But they can still take an extra base.
Ben Revere and Michael Young are on pace to infamy, while Dom Brown looks to continue to make a case for the All Star team. Elsewhere, Raul Ibanez is still going strong.
The Phillies salvaged a game in Minnesota thanks to Cliff Lee, Ben Revere, an *effective bullpen* and a clutch EIGHTH INNING. Wait, what?!?!
Can the Phillies win one game against the Twins? Just one measly, meager game?
If Jim Salisbury is correct, the worst hitting Phillie since 1998 is on his way to Minnesota to replace Cesar Hernandez.
