The Phillies' Fab Four

When you think of the Philadelphia Phillies, the first names that pop into your head are probably Howard, Utley and Rollins. Add to that, the best pitcher in the National League Cole Hamels.. and you've got yourself a pretty good core of great young players.

Today, The Fab Four forged forward flattening San Francisco, 5-2.

Hamels contributed greatly with a 5 hit, complete game posting his NL leading 8th victory. Rollins respectfully scored a run and recorded an RBI. Utley scored twice, and Howard hit in the clutch driving in 2.

Previously I mentioned that we would be saying the words Howard and Hamels an awful lot in the coming years. Today was no exception. Howard and Hamels helped hand homerun boy and his hackless teammates a big L.

But, Howard and Hamels.... need some help.

KLKatz- although I agree this is a tremendous group of 4 to look at as the nucleus of a team, only 1 is actually "young" and that's Hamels at 23. The rest are 28 and above, that's older than me my man.

c'mon Carson... Utley and Rollins were born in 1978 and Howard in '79. I'm only 30 years old born in '76.... these guys are YOUNG.

Rollins has the most experience with 5/6 seasons under his belt.. and he's not 30 yet.
