I have to agree with you on you analysis of the Colorado/Philladelphia series. Not to take anything away from Colorado and their pitching staff but the Phillies offense is really to blame. Carlos Ruiz cannot lead you team in batting when you have 3 potential MVP canidates in Rollins/Howard/Utley. Anyway, while I certainly was disappointed, I will remember the 2007 season for their relentless, rollercoaster persuit of the Mets. Ultimatley leading to the Mets implosion and of course the Phillies first division crown since 1993( I was in the 6 grade). What a season it was. I agree with you that the Phillies most pressing need is starting pitching, and Curt Schilling still holds a place in many Philadelphians hearts but I think their pitching staff could use a bit more youth, possibly Dontrelle Willis or the White Sox's John Garland. I can't imagine they will sign Rowand with the season he had he will most likely want a contract similar to that of Eric Bynes of Arizona. Also, Michael Bourne and Shane Victorino bring more youthful, inexpensive options, leaving Gillick with more money to spend on pitching. Looking forward to your comments on pitch counts.(Totally overrated in my opinion, but I will save my comments until I hear yours). Have fun and Go SOX! Nathan Pete,

I like this a lot. Found it unique, interesting, informative, and humorous. Way to go! I'd be interested in learning more about the managers of the 8 teams who made it into the playoffs. How do they compare with one another? What does it take to become a mgr let alone a good mgr? Peter, can you address these and other questions about this subject sometime? Meanwhile, enjoy the game tonight! Hey guys! I like this a lot. Found it unique, interesting, informative, and humorous. Way to go!
