Lines: 17 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.
