will we ever win?

Cody Ross & The 2011 Phils

Well, at least we know Clifton Phifer has this guy's number for now, hope it carries into the playoffs if we battle again. Four K's last night, and boy, he looked awful on all of them, sans one long launched foul ball.

Props to Ryan Howard for another nice basket catch in foul territory. Polanco is so fun to watch on third. The defense made it a lot easier on a Lee who just put each pitch in perfect spots.

I so love Hunter Pence. So goofy and awkward, full of energy and spunk, a solid hitter too. Quite a game from him last night. Looking forward to the next three SF games of this Series too.

Reflection: For as many injuries as this team has had over the season, you look at two things: The Phils managed to win a lot of games through those. And, secondly, just about every single one is working themselves out, so that a real "dream team" is emerging ready for the playoffs. Even Lidge is looking like he can add some late inning value, despite not having a fastball anymore and pretty much exclusively riding that slider. Who is still unhealthy (Blanton) but matters (No One?)?
