    The Phillies came into this this season slightly overrated, but that is not to say they aren't the best team in baseball. The expectations for this team coming in were to win 120 games, so it is impossible for them to not under achieve in most people's eyes. Their lineup is not as good as in the past with Rollins and Ibanez getting older and less productive and Utley being injured, but their real problem is the bullpen. Even when Lidge comes back it is still mediocre at best. They do, however, have one thing that the Braves don't and that is experience in the post season. That is going to be the biggest factor come October.

    Phillies Bullpen is one of the worse in baseball son. Come on don't be ignorant Dlunc just close your mouth and appear to be ignorant. Now you have opened your mouth and made it obvious you are ignorant son. Braves bullpen one of the best in baseball.

    Im not saying they arent good, but are definately not the best in baseball.... and noway you can say the phills is one of the worst.. they are not great, but not the worst either. Madson is a stud and lidge and contaras are good enough to get it done in the 9th. Bastardo is also a young up and comer that gives the pen a huge boost... braves pen is better i wont say they arent, but phills are not the worst and braves are def not the best.

    phillies have a great rotation and a lot of fast young bats as well as seasoned vets, its a good recipe. Definitely playoff bound.

    thankyou....people forget that the phills have a top 3 second basement, an all star caliber arm, 2 closers, and one of baseballs top prospects all out... yet still boast the leagues best record... people are clueless...

    Venters is absolutely one of the best left-handed relievers in baseball.

    Career: 100.2 IP, 1.70 ERA, 112 K, .189 BAA, and a grand total of 1 HR allowed.

    Braves are 3rd in the NL in bullpen ERA.

    Career ERA:
    Hamels 3.50
    Jurrjens 3.41

    Hamels' ERA through his age 25 season was 3.67.

    You've been thoroughly owned in this thread. It's pretty embarrassing.

    The Braves are in third place because their offense stunk for the first month of the year.

    You say that like the braves have some stacked lineup.. when healthy, phills lineup hands down has the advantage

    Hamels record means nothing.. he has gotten 0 run support the last 2 yrs.. and maybe you have missed it, but have you been watching lee in October the last 3 years? He struck out 16 braves the other night and if rollins doesn't miss a 2 out line drive then he shuts them out.. since when is 16 strikeouts fuking someone up?? Either way, regular season means nothing to this team.. we all know what October lee looks like... the best big game pitcher in baseball right now
