The Beer Leaguer takes some parting shots at the current Phills squad before Pat Gillick and the front office do some major house cleaning over the course of the next few days. Philadelphia is 44-53 and probably lucky to have a record as good as that. Poor Coaching, terrible defense, and failed experiements have led to the downfall of the Phillies in '06 and unless some major changes occur, there isn't much reason to have the same hope entering next season as there was entering this one.

Utley has 27 Game Hitting Streak
Chase Utley has been hitting .402 since the streak began (45-113). The franchise record is 36 games, held by Jimmy Rollins.
I think he's got a chance to do it. He hasn't gotten much press about it and as the Phillies bow out of the playoff race and look to deal Abreu, the streak will probably go relatively unnoticed until/if he approaches Rollins' mark.
