Here’s a peanut, Phil. Good monkey.

Seeing as you’re still around, I’m pretty sure you’d continue living despite having no life… but, regarding that Brooklyn Bridge thing, any chance you might give me a demonstration? I’m a quick learner. I just need to see it done once.

Your logic is about the most retarded thing anyone has ever actually written in the history of writing retarded things. Are you assuming the Phillies are so much hotter than the Mets? Well… hate to burst your bubble but, for September, the Mets are 10-6 while the Philles are 11-6.

I’m not saying the Marlins can’t catch up… but if they do, there’s a much greater chance they’re knocking the second place team (whomever that is) out of the Wild Card… and, with the Phillies playing on par with the Mets but currently lagging in the standings by half a game(and that sweep by the Marlins you’re talking about lagging the Phillies even further behind), I’m pretty sure your logic might look better after you wrote it on some toilet paper and I used it for its intended purpose.

Why makes you think the Marlins can’t pass you, but can pass us who are in front of you? That Cubs series isn’t going to be as tough as you might think, they would have already clinched which means pulling the starters early and playing a few AAA guys.

1. Don’t panic. I’ll explain why in the rest of my points.
2. I knew Myers was gonna get smashed tonight. He’s a fastball pitcher. The Marlins smash fastball. They’re the hottest team in baseball right now. I didn’t expect it to be that bad. Did you all really think that Myers was going to pitch like Cy Young the rest of the season? I expected him to have a poor outing, it was just an unfourtante time.
3. The Marlins may be this years Rockies, but they won’t be able to over come the Phillies.
4. The Marlins would literally have to win the rest of their games this season and hope that the Phillies only go 3-3 at home against the trash of the NL East. That just simply isn’t happening.
5. The Marlins could overtake the Mets. They’d have to sweep the Phillies and hope that the Mets get beat up by the Cubs next weekend, or even the Braves this weekend.

In all honesty if I were Charlie I’d focus on the WC. If they sweep the Braves next week, and if they can take at least 1 from Florida the WC is pretty much locked up. Rest your starters. You want them to be fresh for the playoffs, especially the rotation. Don’t focus on the division if that means your starters are all going to be a little tired. Let them get some rest.

Magic no. is 7 with 8 games left. How’s that for positive thinking? ;-)

However, Phillies are hearing footsteps as Marlins are now 4 1/2 back in WC. The Fish clinched season series having won 7 out of last 9 and 10 to 6 overall against Phils.
