In all fairness to the 2010 Philadelphia Phillies they have had an insane rash of injuries.
They are 5 games behind the Braves. Yes shouting distance. Do they still have a shot at the playoffs? Yes.
Do they have to winn the division? No, just make the playoffs and ANYTHING can happen.
Even without a deadline trade if this team could get heaalthy and STAY healthy you never know!
Happ back helps big time. Get into the playoffs and get Chase back and it might get interesting.

Rightfielder?
Is Ross Gload the Phillies rightfielder until the Phils develop Dominic Brown in rightfield?
This means no disrespect to Jason Werth who has been great at times. But he seems to be the only trade bait this team has to garner a much needed starting pitcher? And his contract next year will be a very high paying one.
Can the Phils pull off a miracle and land Roy Oswalt from Houston? They say we are number 2 behind the Cardinals in line to obtain him?
We shall see…Ruben you owe us as loyal fans who fill your stadium up to 105% day or night a miracle!

Floundering Again!
Well thank God Milt Thompson is gone. Still the Philadelphia Phillies offense stinks!
A season lost because they can’t hit the broad sign of a barn.
Even Oswalt from Hoston could not save them. What is the point when this promising offense throws up 0, 1 maybe 2 runs a game! I think it is pathetic!
I believe in karma and after fan favorite Lee was dumped this team was destined to be AVERAGE at best!
Halladay a major let down. Cole is back, but so what at this point!

After this short winning spurt, pitchings been good. Just maybe Rollins, Howard, Werth, Ruiz, Victorina and the anciennnt RAUL can WAKE UP! It’s a long season baby! Braves look out! Mets you still stink!

Major League Baseball brings Taco Bell All-Star Sunday to Southern California on July 11th at Angel Stadium. The doubleheader includes the XM All-Star Futures Game and the Taco Bell All-Star Legends & Celebrity Softball Game. The XM All-Star Futures Game, which features some of the game’s best young prospects from the U.S. and around the world. The second game features former All Star Legends and Celebrities in a fun filled softball game.
This will precede the 2010-81st All Star game at Angel Stadium on Tuesday, July 13. The only Phillie to be named a starter was Chase Utley, unfortunately Utley’s latest injury will keep him out of the lineup. Only 2 other Phillies made the team this year, Roy Halladay for pitching and Ryan Howard as a reserve first baseman. My prediction is the National League will win this year.
Hopefully this break will give the Phillies a much needed break to help heal the lineup and regroup for the second half of the season. Currently the Phillies are in third place in the NL East and are 6 games back from the leading Atlanta Braves.

The World Cup has been exciting this year. Although it is not a favored sport in America, I believe it is taking a foothold here after a long time of denial from the USA fan base. The USA made it to the final sixteen only to lose a controversial match to Ghana.
Today the Netherlands advanced to the Final by defeating Uruguay by the score of 3-2. The second semi-final match is set for tomorrow with the favored Germany against a strong team from Spain. It should prove to be an exciting match-up.
