At 44-44 the Phillies have done a fine job of staying even. Depending on whether you are a half-empty or half-full kind of person, will influence your feelings on how this season has turned out thus far.
The Optimist would say that the Phillies lead the National League in runs scored with 456 (26 in front of the second place Brewers).
The pessimist would say our 4.91 ERA, which is last in the national league would even that out... and it does.
The optimist would say, our pitchers are hurt, and the slop we're throwing on the field is expected to have close to a 5 ERA.
The pessimist would say, the organization knew the bullpen was "exposed" and any injury would set them back.
The optimist would say that a 44-44 record is good considering the injuries to Freddy Garcia, Jon Lieber, Tom Gordon, Brett Myers and Ryan Howard.
The pessimist would say that the Phillies are much better than 44-44 on paper and are under performing.
The optimist would say that the Phillies are a second half team and are bound to make the playoffs one of these years.
The pessimist would say that the playoffs won't happen under this organization, because they settle more mediocrity.
The optimist would say that we'll dump the salary of Lieber, Garcia and Burrell in the off-season, freeing up money to sign some pitching.
The pessimist would say we've never signed a decent pitcher.
The optimist would say there's a lot of baseball left to play.
The pessimist would say, 15 days until Eagles training camp.
I'm on the fence..... E-A-G-L-E-S.... EAGLES!!!
