I just wanted to take a moment and personally thank Jerry Manuel on behalf of every Phillies fan out there for taking Johan Santana out of last night's game. Santana was cruising along last night in complete control of the game. Through eight innings (105 pitches) he had given up eight hits but   more...

The Phillies pulled off an astonishing 8-6 shocker by roaring back for six runs off the Mets' bullpen, which blew another dominant start by Johan Santana. Unlikely hero So Taguchi delivered the game-saving blow with his first pinch hit of the season. With the bases loaded and nobody out, Taguchi   more...

There are two sides to every coin. On one hand, I leave Johan Santana out there for the 9th inning to work his magic. That's why he's getting the big bucks.

The Phillies battled back from a 2-0 deficit and 7 shutout innings by Mets veteran lefthander Tom Glavine to tie the game in the 8th inning on shortstop JImmy Rollins' solo homer and centerfielder Aaron Rowand's tying run RBI single, both runs scoring on reliever Pedro Feliciano.That set the stage   more...

I can honestly say, this is something I've been waiting to happen for years. Jerry Manuel has finally assigned defined roles to the bullpen.
