Let's hear it for them Phils.  The consensus in newsland at the beginning
of the year was that the Phils would not finish better than fourth. We will 
see.  They are still neck and neck with the Cubs, or should I say Phubs
since they have so many ex-phils. The Phils have been winning without
Cy Young Pitcher John Denny and catcher Bo Diax.  Schmidt missed a 3 day
series with the Pirates but the Phils took 3 of 4, including a sweep of
a double header.  Owens finally benched DeJesus, saying " Ivan
should watch the game from the bench for a few days. Kiko Garcia comes in
and goes 4 for 4 in one of the games with the Pirates.  Von Hayes has
proved himself in Philadelphia, and Rookie Juan Samuel has a chance for
Rookie of the Year Honors. (I personally like Dwight Gooden). Are there
any other Phillie Phanatics out there in baseball land? 
Prediction : The August heat at Wrigley will kill the Cubs and the Phils
will win their sixth NL East title in nine years.
