Okay, so evidently if Kendrick doesn’t suck down the stretch, we’ve got locker-mate Sweeney to thank for jedi-mind-tricking him into being a winner.

If anyone else is interested, the Reds are beating the Cards 5-1, and the Padres are heading toward consecutive loss number 8.

I guess a better way to look at it is the Phils are batting the pitcher 8th and Rollins 9th ala TLR, and they just choose to start the lineup with the #9 position.

Just saw the Rockies beat the Padres again, nine straight losses for SD. The Rockies still have a ways to go, but I would think both SF and SD have to be worried. The Rockies do have to play both Cinci and St Louis in four game sets, so that may make things harder, but they have four more, including tomorrow, against the Padres and three more against the Giants. I wouldn’t bet against seeing the Rockies in October again. (Or Roxtober according to Fox.)

Utley would’ve run inside the baseline there….and I say that in all seriousness.

Utley does a lot of stuff that other people don’t do.

Exactly. He’s one of the more instinctive players around.
