It’s been an un-effing-believable west coast trip thus far, and the Phillies can cap it off tonight with a win over surging Colorado. A victory would make it a 6-1 road jaunt, a hell of a turnaround considering how they ended the last homestand against Houston.
Joe Blanton hasn’t lost a game in over a month. Think about that for a second. This guy was so bad in May and June that people wanted him banished from Philly for-ev-er. He’s turned it around, and at a very good time. Blanton has been a solid number four, but he’ll need to be so for the rest of the season – no more hiccups.
Scoring all of these runs has been a fun pastime for this team. In the thin air of the Rocky Mountains, against a pitcher they don’t know all that well, perhaps there is more to be had.
