Myers Finds Groove, Offense Does Not
Brett Myers seemed to take a step forward in last night's 3-2 loss to the Giants in 10 innings. Moral victory?
Myers Finds Groove, Offense Does Not

The fastball returned.
Consider that a big step forward for Brett Myers. He needs his fastball to be the pitcher he is. Like he said earlier this week, he isn't Greg Maddux. He isn't a painter. He's aggressive, and it's tough to be as aggressive as he wants to be with a fastball that couldn't crack 88 mph, like last Sunday in Pittsburgh. Myers' fastball hovered in the low 90s in last night's 3-2 loss to the Giants at Citizens Bank Park.

In the Phillies notebook, Chase Utley is the hottest hitter on the planet.

Here's an interesting possibility: the New York Yankees don't bring back general manager Brian Cashman after the season and he becomes a candidate for the Phillies' GM job. That said, like Jim Salisbury wrote, I expect the job to be awarded to Ruben Amaro Jr. or Mike Arbuckle.

Cupcake in LA is a loser. He hangs around the internet (he also posts on High Chesse) looking for opportunities to start verbal fights. He says the same thing about mom and dads bsmt every time. I actually feel sorry for him. His baseball knowledge is limited to putting on a wig and stockings and getting the pom poms outta the closet. He's a cheerleader and a very feminine one at that.— Truth
Comment removed.- Only the lowest lifeform would defend a person (supposed role model) that not only slaps his, but drags her down the street in public. Then says that he is only sorry that it "got out". Cupcake in LA you need rehabilitation.— Truth
- Oh no! A Truth clone in Philly monkey! LOL! Hmmm. *Monkey* see, *monkey* do? And Truth......WHO is "starting verbal fights"? And WHO'S the "loser"?— Norma
