The Phillies open a 3 game series at home with the Marlins tonight. Thneed to do well because they have the Braves at home after this.
I was wrong ot at least wrong up to this point about Pat Burrell. He is .440 since his average dipped to .201 on July 1.He has 9 HR's in his last 84 AB's. He is on fire. I have noticed that he is really getting to the outside pitches intstead of swinging and missing them. This looks like the Pat Burrell Phillies fans hope to see all the time. I hope he is not teasing us.
The Philles are 2 games behind San Diego in the Wild Card. I subscribe to Baseball Prospectus and they have a calculation that tries to predict a teams chances of making the playoffs. At current BP says the Phillies have a 25.19 % of making the playoffs.
I write for a great website. www.baseballdigestdaily.com. If you haven't yet joined. please do. Besides the writing, the site sends out every morning highlites from the previous days games. It is a quick and easy way to follow the previous days games ans we also give you the days matchups and much more.
