Brett Myers threw gave up a run and struck out three in four innings against the Blue Jays. Jayson Werth and Raul Ibanez have both hit RBI doubles to fuel the Phillies.
The game continues. Phillies lead 2-1.

Ibañez was sick today! The bullpen was great; Taschner pitched a scoreless inning. Lidge struck out 2 in 1.0 inning.
I really like Ibañez behind Howard. He’s an RBI machine and will put the ball in play if the big man strikes out or homers. I also like Werth when he bats as No.2 in the lineup

This game really got skipped over. Was it the busy news day, or the late game?

IBANEZ=RBI Machine… I know that I sound like a broken record but I’m really excited about Ibanez. I think that this could work out really well. Regardless, he’s certainly an upgrade. How I would handle this… Werth bats 5th against lefties and Ibanez bats 5th against righties… give them both ample opportunities in the 5 hole and let’s not worry about bullpen situations; let’s get their starters out of the game early. Werth kills lefties but is not as solid against righties. Ibanez kills righties. It’s a really nice fit.
