Wheez kids


Well the boring and endless baseball season starts today and usually opening day is filled with optimism but not for the Phillies. Most predictions have them finishing in 4th or 3rd place at best. Sure they'll score runs but their pitching blows -- they have a lot of ancient arms and a lot of "potential" that is never fulfilled. So we can expect the usual 4-5 inning efforts from the starters that then erodes the arms of the bullpen until everything completely breaks down. And of course a lot of the remainder of the team is ancient as well so look for the Phillies favorite excuse -- injuries -- to figure prominently once again this year.

I predict 79 wins, 83 losses with the Phillies out of it by mid July.
