I wrote earlier this week that the Phillies would win the Wild Card in the N.L. East. The situation has taken a drastic turn for the worse. I watched or listened to the three games against the D0dgers & two against the Padres. The down fall of the Philles will be their bullpen. The starting pitching has been decent except for Moyer recently. The theory is to get six innings out of your starter and then turn it over to the pen. The only reliever pitching close to decent is Romero. The thought of Alfonseco, Geary & Gordon getting the ball is really scary any more. If they do get to the point of using Myers it is a matter of which version will show up. Some nights he is pretty much unhittable and other nights he looks like a rookie. The hitting will take care of itself but if the pitching does not turn around real quick their chances have all but disappeared.
