With J-Roll out of the line-up, the Phillies offense is impotent. The Phils are on a 3 game losing streak with number 4 all set to occur tonite. The Phillies have scored a total of 3 runs over the last 3 games. They have been shutout twice in that 3 game stretch. The Phillies offense is like a resting bull. If someone, (J-Roll) doesn't crack the whip so to speak, they just stand around and drop a load. Take the Mets (+105) before this one gets away. Takahashi has held opposing lefties to a .219 batting avg. This does not bode well for this line-up. The Phillies will trot out Joe Blanton and his impressive 5.06 ERA for the season. Takahashi is in his first year in the majors but is 35 years old. No accident that he is slotted to start his first game against this team in this set of circumstances. Take the Mets and sleep well. BOL.
