Go Phillies!

It is the July 4th weekend, the half-way point in Major League Baseball, and the Phillies are 5 1/2 games above .500, they are also 5 1/2 games behind the Braves in the NL East. The good news for the Phils is that the Atlanta pitching staff is hurting.

If the Phillies can get some runs to compliment their pitching they will be in good shape. Burrell and Bell especially are under-performing offensively. And thanks again Cleveland for Jim Thome, your loss is our gain. Not only can he swing the bat but he has only one error this season at first base (Gold Glove?).
