GUFS writer John Stapleford pinches his nose shut and writes about the good we can expect in the Phillies' future. His analysis of the good but no longer great team starts on defense.
The Phillies ended their season in pathetic fashion alloying the Cardinals to shut them out 1-0. Roy Halladay pitched his arm off and was reward with no run support. This is a shame and a disgrace! It's time to break up the team now.
GUFS writer John Stapleford checks in from the road about Game Four of the NLDS. The Cardinals beat the Phils 5-3 to force a decisive fifth game in Philly. Game Five will be played on Friday at a time inconvenient for everyone. Thanks, TBS.
The Phillies nipped the Cardinals 3-2 in St. Louis in a hard fought pitching duel between Cole Hamels and Jaime Garcia. Hamels pitched six shutout innings while Garcia yielded nothing but the game winning homer.
When you stake Cliff Lee to a 4-0 lead after two innings at home, you should expect a playoff team like the Cardinals to make a run. What you shouldn't have to tolerate is the complete collapse of the Phils in a 5-4 loss.
