  • who wants to call it?

    Phillies are done. 5:40 PM EST.

    I wouldn't call them done, but I don't think they'll make the playoffs because of their awful starting pitching.

      That was a frustration post. I think we were losing a day game to the Dodgers.

      Well, Phils just swept the Diamondbacks so.... still, I don't trust this team. You can never really trust a Phillies team.

        Ummmmm, the Phillies were done about April 3rd, 1994.

          Just thinking about it, I would hate to be a Philly sports fan. The Phillies haven't done anything in my lifetime, the Eagles made the NFC Championship 4 years in a row with no title to show for it, the 76ers have one of the best scorers in baseketball but still suck, and I don't know anything about the Flyers because I don't follow hockey.

            Yeah. Thanks for reminding us, Jackson.

              We are aware of our problems, but being an Atlanta fan ain't so great either.

              I know the Braves have won 14 straight divisions, but that's become about as routine as them losing in the first round of the playoffs.

              The Falcons have never had back-to-back winning seasons.
              The Hawks should have been relegated to the D-League years ago.
              The Thrashers...well...I'm sure they make the Hawks look popular.

                Actually, Will, the Thrashers are a pretty hot ticket down here in Atlanta. Some of it has to do with the novelty, but there are some many transplanted northerners (like myself) that equates to a burgeoning fanbase.

                The Braves have become as bland as grits.
                The Falcons are blowhards.
                The Hawks simply blow.

                    I'm just a Braves fan, not an Atlanta fan (I moved from San Jose 5 years ago).

                    Basically, all people care about around here are the Braves, Falcons, and of course, college football. The Georgia Bulldogs, possibly my least favorite team on earth, get a ton of attention. No one really cares about the Hawks/Thrashers.

                      Believe it or not - I trust in Gillick.

                      I think he's keenly aware that this is a .500 ballclub the way it's currently composed. But as Utley and Howard continue to evolve - I think he'll smell an opportunity. He has to get a front line starter and it may come at a serious expense but I can see Gillick doing it if we are still within 2.5 games of the wildcard come mid July. If we are, he'll do something. I know the "Stand Pat" title - but I really think he has an eye on the prize and to be able to deliver a playoff appearance in year 1 in a town that hasn't seen the post season in 13 years would certainly add to his mystique.

                        Two days and 3 losses later - it's time for Gillick to fire Manuel. The team is not responding to him. In the long range plans - Cholly can not be the man that takes this team deep into a post-season. They need a fire lit under them. When you put it all together - it makes sense to fire Manuel right now. You give a new manager 6 weeks to see if he can get any spark out of this club and then you make your deadline maneuvering whether it be as a buyer or seller.

                          Yeah - the Marlins struck fire and gold with McKeon a few years ago...oh if Leyland were still available...
