Phils are 10-2 against the Braves this year, including 6-0 at Turner Field. Last time they lost at Turner Field I think was that horrendous loss last year when they gave up six runs in the bottom of the ninth.

Dillon (17) Hutton (15) Timoney (13) Duffy (10) McCabe (5) Grady (4) Without checking his page, let's play guess the sex: Dillon - boy Hutton - girl timoney - tough one; I go girl Duffy - boy (has to be) McCabe - I go boy Grady - boy

The 1 hit isn't his fault and last inning probably won't effect the outcome but I want Jerry to leave a reliever in that got 2 outs in a row to start an inning. Agreed. We search to get outs from somebody, then get them from Rincon and he immediately gets yanked. If Rincon had given up a hit to a righty you would've yelled at him for leaving him in. And that kind of thing has happened before this year too plenty of times. One hit, no. Can we give him one righty with 2 outs and nobody on?

Red Sox Nation collectively giggles at the thought of Dale Sveum managing a ball club. Lou Lamoriello has done this with the Devils a couple of times, incidentally.

Didn't Figueroa get blasted by the Nats earlier? The game right before he was DFA'd? I think it was the game he complained about them celebrating in the dugout. Maybe that game went into the thinking.
I think TB has an 8-7 edge on the Sox. They split their first 12 games, then the Rays won 2 of 3 in Fenway last week. What happens if they wind up tied, and they tie the season series, which would be the case if Boston wins 2 of 3 here?
While Kingman won�t make the final game at Shea later this month, Disappointing. While Seaver was the Franchise, for a few years in the '70s, Kingman was the man. Who didn't try to be Kong in a neighborhood pickup game?
