First off, just a little information about myself. My name is Justin and I have been an Philadelphia Sports fan since I was a kid some 15 years old when I was watching the 1993 Phillies blow a 6-5 lead in the bottom of the ninth only to lose to a Joe Carter Home Run. That was one of my first memories with Philly Sports.

Now get me wrong, I am still very happy and very excited about the Philiies taking care of the Brew Crew and moving on to play LA in the NLCS. However, I am weary about their offense. Utley and Howard are both hitting under .200 and I don't even want to count how many men left on base there were this series. I have never been a big believer that the Phils rely on the long ball to score runs. These past four games, though, are starting to prove those critics correct. And just by looking at this season we know what happens when those long balls turn into long outs. The Marlins were a young, strong, talented team but could not string the hits together. They relied far too much on home runs and ultimately was their demise. Also, the Brewers are a powerful young team known to hit a lot of home runs. Luckily for the Phils, they lacked in the power department. The Phillies need to play small ball when they can. They can't always rely on the two out HRs.

Game 1 is tonight. Can the Phillies come in too confident? Can Cole Hamels inability to pitch in the day time and big games be a factor?
What do you think? I am guessing no. He is a stud and will lead us to the promise land! Too cliche? Oh well, it is too early for sensibility.

Another great start from the young lefty Cole Hamels tonight against the red hot Nationals. That puts the Phils only a game and a half back of the Mets. Any glancing at the scores, Milw

The Phillies had a miserable road trip on the west coast as they went 2-5 against the Dodgers and Padres. They could not hold 2 leads against the Dodgers and they lost in the ninth inning both games. Against the Padres though, they did a little better conserving leads. The offense is still sluggish and there is cause for concern in Philly with only 39 games left in the season and a rough schedule upcoming after the Nationals visit Citizens Bank Park. The Mets are playing great baseball and their schedule is pretty easy from here on out so the Phillies will definitely have to play solid baseball if they want to win the division or even the wild card for that matter.

We all wanted the Phillies to break out of their hitting slump and start pounding the ball well this weekend we definitely got our wish. Twice the Braves took five run leads in both games and tw

So the Phillies had a chance to come in and get back on track against a team they have dominated all year long in the Braves and what happens? The Phils get dominated in the ninth inning to put what w

You would think the Phillies would have built momentum off of their stunning comeback of the Mets in the first game of the series right? Well instead the Phillies made the Mets starters look like aces
