Of course, Geoff Jenkins' game-tying pinch-hit homer in the 6th could also stake claim to that honor. Either way, this was a very good win for the Phils. A comeback win versus anybody is good, but to do it against the division leader means that much more. The Phils still have over a dozen more games against the Marlins, who showed today why they are going to have a tough time staying up near the top of the NL East. Sure they can hit the cover off of the ball, but they have a very young, unproven pitching staff and a suspect bullpen. Burke Badenhop and Dough Waechter will not win division championships... -------------------------------- Cincinnati Reds The Reds, fresh off a 3 game sweep of the Braves, roll into town today for a 4 game set. It should be a very interesting series. Ken Griffey Jr. is sitting at 599 homers. Griffey has been a favorite player of mine for years, so I would love to see him get number 600 in Philly, hopefully in the midst of a Phillies win... The other big story this week is Reds 21 year old rookie Jay Bruce. This guy is a freaking monster. He's 13-22 in his first 6 games and it's unlikely this is a fluke. He's a .308 career hitter in the minors and hit 26 homers last year across three levels. Probable pitchers for the Reds in this series: Arroyo (versus Kendrick tonight), Harang, Volquez, and whoever replaces Josh Fogg, who was just put on the DL.

Is it MON-roe or mon-ROE? At least Steve Lyons is consistent. He goes with MON-roe, and also refers to the Tigers hometown as DEE-troit. Know what? They should ask the cops who arrested him for stealing that belt how to pronounce it. Eric Chavez forgot to pack his Gold Glove this postseason. Took the lead one instead.
