I Give Up

I give up.

Who can figure this team out.  Blown out at home by Miami, the Phils fly across the country to face the streaking Giants in their cove by the bay and beat them two straight.

I give up.

Bad news just keeps on comin' and still these guys keep on keepin' on.  Roy Halladay is indeed injured.  A partial tear of the rotator cuff  and a worn labrum and he was still pitching.  No wonder he couldn't get much on the ball.  I've suffered from similar injuries and had trouble lifting my arm altogether let alone throwing a baseball sixty feet six inches.

I give up.

Just when you think these guys won't ever score a run again they bash a few home runs, play a little small ball, and lo and behold beat Mssrs. Bumgarner and El Freako.

I give up.

Kyle Kendrick is officially the most reliable starter the Phils run out there on a regular basis.  A nice guy who has persevered, Kendrick is proof nice guys can finish first...at least for now.  Hats off to him.  No one is more deserving.

I give up.

Anyone who thought Carlos Ruiz would save the day has forgotten last year's numbers were an aberration.  So far, Chooch is struggling to hit his weight...really!

I give up.

Instead of reacting negatively to Cliff Lee's semi-calling out, the Phils have responded by supporting him with some offense for a change.  I guess it really isn't a calling-out when someone simply states the obvious.
