A jumbled NL East below the Fightins
Posted on 23. May, 2010 at 9:20 am by Meerkat in Baseball, MLB Baseball, Philadelphia Phillies
After that big spanking by Philly, seems like the Mets are slipping back into that clown suit they look so good in. Which in turn, makes me feel good. But now those Bravos are beginning to gain confidence, winning 5 straight. I look forward to the series at the beginning of June to see if the Phils can knock them down a peg.
Almost 2 months into the MLB season and the Nats are playing .500 ball, who would have thought? Scary, actually. Mostly because Strasburg will get the call up for sure in June and instantly Nats fans will begin to care about their squad again. If Strasburg dominates the majors like he is in AAA, well, I’m worried there just might be an inspired rally of no-respect-for-us Washington run in the NL East. They could turn out to be that pesky team late in the summer that bites at the Phillies heals while they are trying to steamroll to another pennant.
Ahhh, the Marlins. Thank you Hanley Ramirez for being a complete ass-clown. You must have gone to Costco and stocked up on your favorite cereal this spring. I’m not expecting the Marlins to be the team to worry to much about this season, chemistry issues will be their downfall now.
So Dice-K almost had a no-no against the Fightins … whatever (thank you Marc Scutaro for not being spectacular). Doc is on the mound today, so like any Phillie fan, I’m expecting a 2-1 series win against the Sawx. Maybe I’ll jam to some Sweet Caroline when Roy is droppin cutters all over the Red Sox today, thus making them walk back to the dugout with their bat in hand. Maybe Roy will wanna go to the zoo after the game.
Ohhhh … and it is on TBS today 10:30-1:30.
