When Bourn, Victorino, Rollins, Utley and Rowand to a lesser extent are in the starting lineup this team can and does run. Heck, even Carlos Ruiz runs. Speed makes things happens and as everyone always says puts pressure on the opposing pitchers as well as the fielders. Regrettably, it seems to put pressure on the Phillies pitchers, too!!!Tom Goodmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00816668232837298444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7610014.post-76646207713303040982007-06-28T14:32:00.000-04:002007-06-28T14:32:00.000-04:00Without the doings of the offense, this team would...Without the doings of the offense, this team would be 10 games under .500.
