Sorry, sports fans, but they pay me to worry. (Actually, they don't pay me a damn thing; I worry free, gratis and for nothing).
If any team has given the Phils fits over the last few seasons in September it has been Houston. This year the Astros are probably worse than at any time in the past several years, but for some reason their eyes widen when they see red pinstripes. Let's hope this year Houston plays to form, i.e., rotten. Then, they can move to the AL and the Phils will never see them again. Oh, wait, interleague play expands next year. Maybe the Phils will see them more often!!???

John Mayberry continues to make a case for being given an UNCONDITIONAL spot in next year's starting outfield. Are you listening, doubters?

It has become pitiful to watch Ryan Howard bat. He's Dave Kingman without as many home runs per AB. (Actually, I didn't look that up, so I could be wrong.) He's batting below .230. His disgust after another strikeout has become routine.

Can a team really make the playoffs with Michael Martinez starting at third base? I guess we are about to find out.

"Red Light" Rollins is at it again. Time to acknowledge Jimmy is great when the going gets tough.
