i am honestly surprised. pat burrell is doing well so far. i'm glad, it's like he gives a damn. he's making some plays in the field, i liked the diving catch he made the other day. it looks like he's swinging more at that inside pitch. his obp is at .500 he's got the second most rbi's he's one of two hitters hitting over .300. things are looking up for the patmeister. he keeps playing like this and he might actually get some cheers instead of boos.
i'm also glad that jimmy rollins is doing well to start. he's hitting like a maniac. he's leading the team in hr, slugging percentage, rbis, and runs scored. did you see him hit that inside the park homerun against the marlins? that was incredible. he is playing his ass off. really, he kind of has to after his preseason predictions.
i realize it's only six games in. pat the bat was a bit of a question mark and i really hope he keeps it up. if jimmy rollins keeps hitting like this, they may have to move him out of the lead off spot.
you know what i am also surprised about? alfonseca. i was really not sure if he was going to be effective or not. right now he seems like their go to guy. you know who's also pitching his ass off? clay condrey. he really doesn't want to go up to ottowa. can't say i blame him. homer simpson had it right when he called canada "america junior". he almost tied the record for consecutive strikeouts by a phillies reliever. he keeps that up, we may have found our elusive setupman/closer.
it's really a shame that we only have two batters with averages over .300. it's a potent offense on paper, but i'm sure i say that every year. hey look at that, speaking of pitching his ass/arm off. cole the pole just struck out two in the first inning.

i'd like to ammend that. we only have two starting player over 300 ba.
7 games in, all that matters is they're 1-6. Find silver linings all you want, 1-6
Exactly...and the reason where were only 1-6 is because we have a bullshit bullpen and no one who can Pinch Hit. WEE-Abraham Nunez, Gregg Dobbs, and Bourn and whoever isn't catching. WoW That gives me fucking goosebumps doesn't it?
I also know that Howard and Utley aren't hitting. Great. Even when they do, why do you expect the phillies to have to win a game 12-10? Every damn night! Thats assinine. We should spent the damn money on the best FA Reliever out there. And we didn't. We bought Shit.
