Gallagher is only 22 and he’s dominating AAA after having done quite well at AA.

Anyone know what he throws? Is he another Reyes/Hirsh type?

Because we had no idea

what we would have in 2009. Remember, Wellemeyer was a huge question mark, Looper is a FA, we didn’t get Lohse until late, we never know if Mulder or Carp will ever be what they were.

I really hope that Luddy gets back on a prolonged hot streak

If he and Ank are performing at their peaks, and Pujols and Glaus just perform like Pujols and Glaus, this offense is pretty damn good

tough to pile up runs when you only get one hit per inning

that this is one of his good games

NOW he is

he wasn’t throwing strikes earlier and when he did, they were getting bombed.

Now, he’s breezing. The Phillies are playing with clinched teeth. They had an awful series vs New York.

I was so glad to see that they came back and made that game interesting yesterday

I would have hated to have them come into this series after a double-digit drubbing.

Yeah.

Tony needs to have a short hook tonight. The bullpen is rested.

We’re going to need a lot of that bullpen tomorrow.

Phillie or not

I like to watch Hamels pitch. That’s as smooth a left-handed motion as I’ve seen, and it’s pretty to watch. (Long-ago LH pitcher here.)

Of course, it’s prettiest when he leaves one up in the zone.

And if he’s planning on doing anything about them

i agree

all the pressure is on the Brew Crew & those wee losers bears to win. the Cards have almost no reason to mortgage the future to pay for the present

I hope a grown man did not just say "woot"

but any way let me know what is said in the interview, because I am stuck with the boring Phillies announcers
