let's discuss some things.

ken has poo-holes on sundays... i have hamels... every time he pitches.

i wish hamels could pitch for the phillies every day.

seriously... this guy is incredible. he got his league-leading 9th win tonight... which SHOULD be at least 11 wins were it not for the phillies' incompetent bullpen.

speaking of which... they finally shut down garcia and are sending him to get surgery. i was reading an article today that said that guillen had no idea that he was injured when he sent him to philly. but i feel like the whole situation is a bit fishy. garcia finally says that he's actually been hurt since spring training. WHAT!? why didn't he say anything about it before NOW. he's 1-5 with a 5.90 ERA. you can't be serious. i'm not saying that the sox tried to mess with philly purposefully... but i wouldn't be totally surprised if in seeing him start to go downhill at the end of last season thought it best to move him along while they could get a good deal for him. meanwhile... garcia has given the phillies one win. the stupid thing is that the phillies organization even saw him slowing down at the end of the season but didn't require a physical for him to be accepted to the team. ALWAYS DO A PHYSICAL. what in the world were they thinking??!?

they weren't. and that's the problem in philadelphia.

the new kid is starting tomorrow.... making his major league debut. that should be interesting. kyle kendrick. so new that espn.com doesn't have a page for him yet. i'm worried.

oh! so coming into the game tonight, jermaine dye was hitting 3/34. i benched him. i'm tired of him not hitting the ball. so of course... tonight he gets a home run and a double. this happens every time i bench him. i replaced him with lofton... who didn't even play tonight. BAH!

ps... chase went 3/3 tonight. : D

in other news... congrats to verlander on his no-hitter!!!!!!!!!!!!!
