How strange it seems that nobody else has posted in 24 hours. Not a peep or a comment!

It’s the shock of the Phillies being on top of the NL East at the half! :pound:I went on vacation in Utah to rest and recover. Hot, fantastic weather out here. Go Phillies!

Yeah, Monument Valley is right on the border. Stlll have a few parks to visit including Grand Canyon. I’ll post some shots in the Travel forum.
Have fun! Be safe! Phillies will still be in 1st place when you return!

Yea, you'll be amazed at the Grand Canyon and its grand beauty!

I’ve been to a lot of these western national parks long ago, retro, and great to see them again, and with a better camera. This time, looking forward to checking out the GC north rim for the first time.

Pretty cool place. The North Rim is way more rugged than the south with all of its tourist accoutrements and sech.

The Phillies did well vs the Dodgers. They looked like a 1st place team. Everybody is contributing. Relief pitching
is shining lately. Flex is doing better with decision making. All I can say is: GO PHILLIES!

This just in. Phils pick up Cabrerra from the Mets. Will be a platoon man at short and serve as pinch hitter too. Solid
move by the Phillies. The only gave up pitcher F.Kilome from Reading.

Very good move to add hitting strength at this time and really not giving up but a prospect. We won’t lose that may one run games the rest of the year.

outside of that, seems like he always had our number too, though that may be selective memory. good depth. franco has turned it around the last I don't know how long, but it was before the all-star game, but if this is something to help out with kingery and a return of crawford, who wasn't hitting. good bench bat by bringing quinn up as well.

Quinn gives us some speed along with decent fielding. Adding a decent starting pitcher remains.

Yep, I concur with the prevailing sentiments here on this thread. We are getting closer to having a powerhouse roster from top-to-bottom!! The offense gets a boost and the pitching is getting shaped into a reliable staff and bullpen.

Hamels won his first with the Cubs. We meet the Cubs end of August for a 3-game series and hopefully, get to see a Hamels-Arrieta matchup.

According to this article, the Phillies clubhouse is now full of more talent than they have had in nearly seven years. I think Klentak has quietly chipped away and has assembled a pretty stout roster from top-to-bottom apparently. Cabrera is the latest.

Our pitching has solidified and Arrieta and Velesquez have really come around. Flex has the line-up in the right order for a change as our leadoff man has a .370 OBP. The 2-through-7 hitters have 111 home runs combined. Things are looking pretty good in Philly land.

Maybe the dildoes are finally dead!
