I'm so conflicted :/

I want the Phils to do well, but I am first and foremost a Pirates fan… though the Pirates are obviously out of it and the Phils aren’t. WHO DO I ROOT FOR?!?

Tonight, I’m watching the Stillers, and the next two sold out before I could get tickets.

Team has to clean house

All the minor league managers and coaching staff are highly suspect.

Look at Pearce’s development compared to Luigi, Triple-M, Karsten, Mr. Wonderful, D. McCutchen and even Tabata and B. Morris. It’s the curse of Chad Hermansen—every talented Pittsburgh prospect is ruined by the lack of decent minor league coaching.

If so it looks like he stayed and is pitching for the Phillies.

It sure can’t be Joe Blanton throwing a 1 hitter with 6 K’s already!!

Maybe it’s Steve Carlton turned around and pitching righty?

If

you’d have told me Utley, Howard & Burrell would go 0-for13, I’d have said you were nuts.

Great catch?

Meh. If Nate didn’t suck so bad as a center fielder he’d have had it easy.

FILE - In this July 19, 2009 file photo, Seattle Mariners' Erik Bedard pitches against the Cleveland Indians in the second inning of a baseball game in Cleveland. Bedard is having another surgery on his throwing shoulder, all but ending his season and perhaps his time with Seattle. Manager Don Wakamatsu said Wednesday, Aug. 12, 2009, that Bedard will have exploratory surgery on Friday in Los Angeles with Dr. Lewis Yocum, who removed a cyst from Bedard's shoulder in September.
