the phloundering phillies

when the opposing pitcher strikes out for the third out and the defense stays in the field...

when your team leaves 122 runners on base through the first 12 games...

when your manager breaks into a tirade against a radio personality after the 9th loss of the season...

when the previous year's league mvp can't hit a pitch to save his life...

... you know something's terribly, terribly wrong.

i can't stand it.

ps. it was time for charlie to go a looooooooooong time ago. mr. nice guy has worn out his welcome. i want a real manager who'll actually lead this team to some wins.

oh- and a side note about football. urlacher got a $100k fine for wearing the wrong hat to a press conference. seriously????????????????
