Dude...the Phils are 2 games back with like 24 to play.

This time last year, we were 7 games back and still won the division.

Liiiitttlllle bit early for magic numbers.

Got that right...plenty of time for the Mets to collapse...Cubbies may have started their down-turn!

Cole did a heck of a job tonight but is it necessary to bring in Lidge when it's not a save situation?

Here's Charlie Manuel's comment on Chase Utley's hit on Jesus Flores at homeplate....

(following exert taken from Phillies.com)

Manuel and Nationals manager Manny Acta thought the play was clean. Manuel wished more Phillies would adopt Utley's aggressive style.
"He had to hit the catcher, because he was out. That's kind of how you play," Manuel said. "I wish every one of my players would play that way. That's not old school, that's good school. That's the way you play, unless you want to put some rouge and makeup and lipstick on. That wouldn't be good. We're having trouble scoring runs. Sometimes, something like that gets you going."

LOL.... hope Flores is okay though.

I don't think they had a choice but to bring Lidge in...they HAD to win last nite and with the part of the line-up approaching, it couldn't have been Madsen or Cordrey. Cholly burned thru JR and CD in the eighth and not really the right situation for Seanez.
