for some reason the phillies just can't seem to take there game to the next level when it really counts. this is the reason we can take the phillies seriously for the wild card.

Well when they trade Abreu and Lidle, I kinda figured they felt they were out of the wildcard race, or just couldnt compete for it. So I would really be surprised if they captured the wildcard spot.

the really needed to trade Pat Burrell and eat some of that contract, because that guy is a real stiff.

Ok, I need you to shut up on this topic until the game is over. The score is now 6-3, and I just have that gut feeling that the Nationals are going to blow it now.

right after i started this topic the phillies scored there first run in the top of the 6th.

Ok, let the discussion continue. The Nationals pulled it out 6-4, but they really tried to cough it up.

ok looker

this phillies team just don't have that killer instinct to win. maybe manual should go off on his team again like he did a few months back to sorta give them a jolt.
