Momentum
I’m pretty frustrated with the rainouts affecting the Phils. They seem to get to play 2 games, then they have rain or a day off and their momentum is gone. Super frustrating, and as an added bonus I’m sure they’ll be playing a bunch of doubleheaders and 8-game weeks, burning out the bullpen. Please hold me, as I am scared.
On the other hand: that Raul “RBI” Ibanez sure can hit, caint he? The jury is still out, but I’m willing to consider eating a lot of crow on the subject. (I believe my take on his signing was expressing great dismay that we gave up Pat Burrell and replaced him with an older, pricier guy who’s slightly better defensively and bats left-handed when we already have two powerful lefties and a panload of switch hitters but not one reliable righty starter. Not only is that sentence horribly constructed and painful to read, I might be, horror of horrors, wrong.)
Here’s hoping a series against the 4-8 Brewers can help get the good guys back to .500 and salvage April.
