Somehow, the Phillies survived a series in which Hamels gave up 9 runs (4 earned) and in which Adam Eaton pitched...twice. But now Eaton is headed for the minors, possibly for J.A. Happ, and the Phillies...are headed for sexytown.
And by that I mean Washington DC, for a three game get well series with the Nats. For the Phils to make an impression on us that they're serious about the postseason, a three game sweep is a must. The opportunity is there. First, on Tuesday we face a pitcher who's almost as bad as Myers (Balester, 5.75 ERA). Second, it's the Nationals. Come on. Their best player, Nick Johnson, is out for the year. Second best player, Dmitri Young is out with diabetes indefinitely. It just goes down from there, and not in a good way.
It's time to start beating up on lesser teams, the way only the Phils can. So long as they don't start any lefties.
