THIS IS THE WEEK WE'LL ALL REMEMBER ON PARADE DAY IN NOVEMBER -- THE BEGINNING OF THE 'DOUBLE-ROY-PLUS-COOLHANDHAMELS-&-DOWNTOWNDOMBROWN ERA' OF PHILLIES BASEBALL. TWO MORE RINGS BETWEEN NOW AND THE END OF 2012. GET HEALTHY CHASE, JIMMY, ET AL, AND WE'LL ENJOY THE RIDE.

My colleague and bud Buster doesn't think Phils are now (yet) the NL team to beat... but I do!. If you guys get a fully-healed Chase Utley back, and Kendrick and Blanton do as they did on each of their last starts, then the Oswalt deal is not a 'game-changer' but a 'race-changer.'

Yeah, one bad game and all of a sudden Oswalt, one of the best pitchers of the last decade, all of a sudden stinks. And Cliff Lee can beat teams single handedly by firing fastballs out of his behind. Philadelphia fans are both stupid and boorish, what a combo.

I bet J Happ wins more games with the phillies than Roy Oswalt. And this team has no chance because they are the most inconsistent team in baseball. They win 8 in row and then go the road and lose 6. Atlanta already has the division won. And Oswalt will turn out to be Freddie Garcia all over again.

About Pattison Ave.
No matter what color tints the blood pumping through the heart of this sports-crazed city, the artery carrying that passion from the faithful fans to their beloved teams has long been Pattison Avenue.
Paved with triumph and (too much) heartache, the road that runs through the South Philadelphia stadium complex has played many roles for Philadelphia sports fans through the years, at times acting as this city's Broadway, Easy Street, Main Street U.S.A. and Yellow Brick Road.
This blog was created by the Philly.com sports team in that same spirit, offering an eclectic resource for news and nuggets about Philadelphia sports and beyond. Breaking news, analysis, random thoughts, viral videos, odds and ends -- you'll find it all here on Pattison Ave.
