Oops there goes another rubber match

Written by Mike Mariano | 08 July 2010

Winning game one is great and all, but when you go out and drop the next two... well, that hurts a little.  Especially in a series where the Phillies could've gained serious ground on the division leading Braves.  Now the Phils are 6 games back and the struggling contiunes.

First we can't hit for a month and lose a ton of games, now the hitting is back and the pitchers can't get outs anymore.  Somethings got to give.  I like Charlie shuffling the lineup around, but let's get real it's time to start throwing chairs in the clubhouse and flipping the post-game food table. 

Ryan Howard has awaken and has begun an onslaught on all this spherical with red stitching, however he might be the only one.  Roy Halladay is doing his thing as well, but again is anybody else on the staff?  No team can win with one hitter and one pitcher.  Not even a combo like a hot Ryan Howard and Doc Halladay.

The Reds come to town next and again we hope and pray that things will get back on track.
