    One of the best rbi guys in baseball should not be batting second! I am so sick and tired of Charlie Manuel!

    The only good thing is that he finally separated Utley and Howard. Teams to often go to a lefty with them due up then to a righty for Burrell. Utley-Burrel-Howard at 3-4-5 would be better than Utley-Howard-Burrel to switch sides of the plate. Rollins and Victorino steal bases. Put them back up front!

    Myers is a baboon.

    Howard is a baboon, 3 Ks, 110 for the season, the same as Utley and Burrell combined.

    the good news is we now have 9 HR hitters playing tonight...no sense in trying to hit anything but a HR... most unfundamental team ever..hitting coach needs to be fired

    Great job team! Another chance for howard to drive in a run and win a game and he fails. Maybe dobbs can make his swing arc up just a bit more and maybe he would hit a home run. Another fine Myers effort. This team has no business being in third place let alone first.

    Maybe if we move Myers to first base and Howard into the rotation, things will start clicking... Or we can trade them both for a giant box of crackerjacks, because that's about all they're worth.
