zook: i'm not from philly, born like an hour or so away though. saw tons of phils games growing up. love them, possibly more than the eagles. cried when i was 7 and mitch williams gave up the hr in game six to carter, etc.

i mean, bullpen/lineup=nuts for the phillies.

however, i do agree with the starting pitching being scary. hamels is awesome, but yeah, big workload this year. if they can only pitch him once in the series, and somehow the dodgers/cubs can play a 5 game series, that'd be dope. i'm pretty sure it's gonna be over after today. i love jamie moyer though. dude is going on 100 years old, can't throw over 80, and somehow is 16-7. that is definitely due in part to run support.

brett myers...if i knew there was some way we could get the brett myers who lowered his ERA by 2 full runs in that two month stretch i'd feel awesome. or we can get the guy who got absolutely rocked after his complete game in sept.

obviously we're gonna need a few things to fall our way to go the distance, but even if we don't this year, we're just a starting pitcher away from it. now keeping everyone else in the process...is another subject.
