heye, I'm curious how you view the Phillies season so far. Does it feel like good progress to be on track to win around 90 games and probably a wild card spot after a few 80-82 win seasons? Or is the fanbase wanting more? It's definitely a better team this year than in past seasons, even with Harper on the shelf for so much of it."Jesus said to them, 'Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.'"Comment

I'm enjoying it. I don't feel like they are really under-performing and there are a ton of positive steps. Bohn looks like a player now, Stott since he's changed his approach is hitting well over the last couple of weeks, I never expected Ranger to be the pitcher he was last year, but he hasn't regressed to a place worse than decent. Schwarber fits the city well, I expect better out of Castellanos next year after a year here. The new manager brought life and fun back to the team and is willing to play kids. The bull-pen had turned into a positive for the team after being dreadful for the first half, and before this latest rash of injuries. Painter and Abel have both progressed into top 50 prospects and look like they could even contribute next year.
If they collapse and miss the playoffs, I think the whole story would change, but making the playoffs and not playing like shit in their games, I'd call that a positive season.
Then again, that's me, far removed from the negadelphia sports radio scene.I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert...Comment

Ah, and Harper has to be the most Philly guy ever made. He may eclipse Utley even. Tonight he beat out a hustle double while on a AAA rehab assignment.I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert...Comment

he went 3/5 last night with a walk-off double. Team mobbed him. Last night he had 2 HRs. Ironpigs and their fans must be having a blast getting to see him up close for a couple of games.
I saw him when he was in low-a for the nationals. He struck out his first time up and the phillies team had made him the "strikeout player of the game" for some promotion. He came up the second time and they reminded everyone what they get every time he strikes out. He crushed the first pitch far out of the park in dead center.I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert...Comment
