agreed, one good game against a bad team is hardly enough to forgive and forget. But thanks to the run support, a win is a win. Hopefully everyone will be fired up Friday night, and maybe just maybe we’ll get 4 (at least 3???) solid innings from Myers. Go Phils!

Yes, I know ive been watching all season. Its nice to see him get a win. his first win on MAY 28. i looked at his game log too, and its still not good enough for someone making that much money. i guess we should be glad he isnt like he was last year. but heres my main point of concern: hes making the money a third starter makes, and hes performing like a 5th starter. i need more from him than one win and an era barely under 5. this is major league baseball, and this team is expected to win a championship. mediocre and bad performances are unacceptable. he has been mediocre most of the year, but last night he pitched well. good for him. but he needs to do that every time out. im not going to let him off the hook until i see SEVERAL of those types of performances in a row.

Geoff~

Here’s something for you to ponder.

Eaton has allowed three or fewer runs in EIGHT of his last eleven starts.
His performance tonight (1 run in six innings) has lowered his ERA to 4.99. That’s progress.

What was evident tonight is Eaton’s aggressiveness in attacking the strike zone; getting ahead of the hitters and keeping them off balance with nasty breaking pitches.

Post game comment by Manuel on Eaton:

â€œHeâ€™s been a little more aggressive,â€ manager Charlie Manuel said. â€œHeâ€™s stayed out of a big inning. If he can get us to the sixth, seventh inning, heâ€™ll be OK.â€

Let’s just let the rest of the division kick each other’s asses, then we’ll steamroll over everyone.

By the way, nothing like Jermaine Stewart’s “We Don’t Have To Take Our Clothes Off” after a win.

Wow.

USA Today reports (I can’t believe USA Today is reporting on this) that MetsGeek has become RaysGeek, because the proprietor no longer wants to follow the Mets. I don’t know if this is a joke or not, but man have things gone sour in Queens.
