Well huh. The Phillies won last night. Isn't that something! I know that schmenkman has pointed out that the Phillies have been a .500 team since July-ish, but it still feels like an unexpected surprise when they win. If you've watched the Phillies, you know why it feels surprising. Because almost never look like a team that should win!
And now it's time for the lineup. Prepare yourselves.
I'm sorry, I should have said "lineup", because that's what it is. It's a "lineup". Honestly, did Cole Hamels run over Ryne Sandberg's dog? Did he ding his car? What could Hamels have done to Sandberg to make him do that? I have no problem with Sandberg resting his everyday players, of course, especially since I don't think he does it often enough. But when your actual ACE PITCHER is on the mound, maybe you shouldn't rest A BUNCH OF THEM.
GOOD GOD.
