De Los Santos pitches out of jam, 2nd and 3rd, nobody out. No runs scored! Gotta love it!

It's only half the season.

Nonetheless, enjoyable.

It's how you finish the season and not how you start.

We celebrate the 1st half. that means we have a lot to look forward to.

It's how you finish the season and not how you start.

Not very profound. So, you do not favor cheering a team’s winning ways until the race is over? Anyway, a good start is always better than a bad one. Yup!

 

[jvett77]

Can’t win too many with a 4-hit explosion. See y’all for the second half!

 

[Retroram52]

We are way ahead of last year at this time in wins and losses and we are contending for first place on a regular basis. I say we have made progress on killing the dildoes for good and actually becoming the perennial threat we have all been missing since those regular appearances in the post-season!

July 17. Phillies, 53-42, .558 , First Place, 1/2 up. Since last update on July 3, Phils went 8-5, including splitting 4 with the Mutts with two xinning losses, and losing 2 of 3 to the Marlins. Starting pitching was excellent; relievers, some shabby games.
