    I understand what you are saying, but if the phills can't hit, who can? They are gonna be the best hitting team, based on runs scored, in the NL this post season. They aren't even a homerun hitting team, so you can't just say its bc of the longball.. I'm not trying to argue, I am just wondering what you base points off of? They had no bench last yr...they added a great bench along with hunter pence.. and the won't have to run into the studs in sf the yr... Just trying to see where you are coming from?

    It's hilarious when guys use the Phils performance against the WS winning giants as a reason they won't win this year

    Do you guys know the Phils were in the previous two WS and won one?

    its about time.... 11 games he gave up 3 or less and didnt get wins... 21 out of 27 he gave up 2 or less... yet only has 13 wins... he could easily be cy young favorite if he won even 5 or 6 of those 11 games

    Cole Hamels pitches a full game. Another gem added to the collection for the Phillies starting rotation. Not to mention against the Brewers.

    Phillies taking the Braves to task right now. Alert: you can still get the Phillies to win the NL at +money.

    This isn't the team that couldn't hit last year against stellar pitching with a hobbling lineup and no bench. Nor is this the team that they were in the first few months of the season when Victorino was winning every game for them and they were w/o Utley (and Pence, obviously) and just about everyone else was cold. And no, it is not due to the addition of Pence. Look into the numbers and you will see that they were producing runs at around the same clip a month prior to that acquisition, mainly due to the bursts of production from Michael Martinez and John Mayberry at that time.

    In summation, they have added several big pieces (to the bench and the starting lineup), have a greater presence from the right side of the plate, and are just about all healthy.


    You, sir, are dead wrong.

    true buddy they may be 6-6 but those 6 Braves win all came when the Phils were working through injuries ealier in the season... not only have the Phils won the last 5 games but i think the real story is how the Braves showed up in Philly triling them by 6.5 games 2 weeks ago and the Phillies literally bitch-slapped them out of the NL East race with a decidsive 3 game sweep and now it seems quite possible the whole season if they finish the sweep of Atlanta tonight.

    On paper I do agree the Phils have the best squad, but their offense is prone to underwhelming performances and while their pitchers are big game studs, they can be gameplanned against successfully against a team that can execute a strategy, see the Giants last year, against Roy in the NLCS and against Lee in the World Series.

    Cards lead series 7 - 4 for the year if I'm not mistaken against the Phils, they're the favorite sure, but they're not undefeatable.

    No team is unbeatable in baseball, should be low scoring and entertaining games
