dodgers hot
phillies not---
gurgle, gurgle
Once again Cole Hamels was brilliant, but listless offensive support coupled with bullpen miscues again left him winless. The Dodgers and their fans, meanwhile, are riding the Manny wave. By contrast, the Phillies look lifeless, as teams always do when they are not hitting.
Tom Gordon is likely done for the season, done as a Phillie. Gordon is still exploring other options but two doctors (Ciccotti and Yocum) have recommended Tommy John surgery. A pity. Always a stand-up guy, Flash was invaluable during last September's stretch run. We shall miss you.
Congrats to Gio Gonzalez, the cutie lefty now with the A's, who last night picked up his first win in the majors.
