The Phillies are no longer the Dildos or the so called pathetics. The youth movement has created a lot
of excitement. When they are trailing after 6 innings or more there is now a sense that they will come back
and win. Scoring a lot of runs creates fun and excitement. It seems like the players know they can now beat
anybody! Competition for certain positions has added better results as well. The starting pitching is improving and that is big! Neris has not blown a save in quite a while! We have a steady and consistent lead off man in Hernandez. Hoskins and Altherr are a great one-two power punch in the middle of the
lineup. Since the all star break they are 31 and 32. They have won 8 of the last ten games so this is
no fluke! The new look Phillies have earned the unlimited CHEESESTEAK award!
