Take That Jerry Coleman
Bottom of the 8th inning, tie game, Ryan Howard at the plate...you can feel the excitement...except for the fact that Tom McCarthy is doing a feel good interview with old-head Jerry Coleman...Howard swings and sends a long drive to right...Jerry Coleman is still talking about something...they break away from the interview and we hear the end of Kalas' homer call.
Thanks for nothing CN8. I like Harry Kalas homer calls like Buzz Bissinger likes horses, and CN8 made me miss a game-winner because they couldn't fit Jerry Coleman into any of the first seven and a half innings. Poor form, Comcast, poor form.
---------------------------
Werth It?
Jayson Werth is 2 for his last 19. There's been lots of talk lately about Werth playing more in favor of Victorino and Jenkins, but let's not forget that Werth is still a career .260 hitter who's best suited as a fourth outfielder. 250 to 300 at-bats this year will maximize Werth's value. After that I think we'll see diminishing returns on this investment.

Mendoza Watch
Howard gains ground up to .184; Ruiz loses only a little and clings to his .203; but DP Feliz, thanks to another 0-4, settles in directly at .200. Hopefully DP can bounce back, have a good series against his former team, and get up to at least .205.
---------------------------
They Might Be Giants
Aaron Rowand (.326-2-14) rolls into town with the light in the loafers hitting SF Giants. The Phils will have to face tough righties Matt Cain and Tim Lincecum, but considering the Giants offense is led by Rowand, one of the Molina's and Fred Lewis, the Phils should easily take 2 of 3.
