No offense to Jeff, but BA doesn't mean what it used to. Give me OBP (or better WOBA), slugging, or OPS.
Would really suck to lose Wheeler. That said, the Phillies won a world series with a rotation of Hamels, Blanton, Myers, Moyer, Kendrick and failed to win one with Halladay, Hamels, Lee, and Oswalt. As Cliff Lee said, that's baseball.
Mets lose and the Phils are 7 games up. NYM are flirting with dropping out of the final wild card spot. That’d be a shame.
It’s amazing how much love Atlanta gets every year only to underperform. It’s too bad.
As much as I dislike the Mutts, this season has been more satisfying to watch the Barves stumble throughout the entire year. Nothing quite like having them mired in mediocrity.
Good, it's an experience that plays well on TV and will provide greater exposure to the team on national media.
Abreu was a fantastic player during his Phillies days. I think the fact that he played in an era with so many great OF disguises how good he was. Those numbers certainly warrant consideration for the MLB All Decade team for the 2000s. There were just so many perennial star OFs with better name recognition.
Wasn’t he considered to be a bit lazy in the OF? I seem to remember the conversation being that he would have been a perfect DH because his fielding left a lot to be desired.

Why Bobby Abreu has Hall of Fame credentials
It's not difficult to make the case against Bobby Abreu for the Baseball Hall of Fame. Just a cursory look at his Baseball-Reference page provides you with all the evidence you need. Only two All-Star selections. One Silver Slugger Award. No top-10 finishes in MVP voting. Very little bold type.

These are one of those runs this team goes on where different people contribute every night and it looks so perfect and easy. Then it makes you wonder, how can it ever not be like this?
Thank you JT. Watching Ogasawara strike out Schwarber and Harper with junkass breaking balls was killing me.
Wheeler will have second surgery, out 6-8 months. Some of you may now panic.
As long as the pitching is at least ok, the Phils will go as far as the bats will take them.
