Longball Barrage:4 homeruns for the Phils + 3 homeruns for the Yanks = 7 total. In yesterday's comment section I predicted 17 total homeruns for this 3 game series, but it appears I may have gone a little low. Hopefully Happ and Hamels can keep the ball in the park for the next...

3 lefties in the pen? I understand Scott Eyre, but why Jack Taschner and JA Happ? Why not add Gary Majewski or Mike Koplove until JC Romero's return? Why release Geoff Jenkins? Is the combo of Matt Stairs and Miguel Cairo really going to outproduce what Jenkins could have provided...
