Seriously, These Guys Can Hit

The Phillies are once again within sniffing distance of .500 after a spectacular comeback win against the Brewers tonight--mostly thanks to Derrick Turnbow, a former Philadelphia prospect who was famously the first MLB player caught doing steroids. If anyone's counting, that's the second 6-run, late-inning rally in the past three games. Where are the "Everybody Hits!" people when you need them?

This should not be happening. The Phils are historically on the business end of such rallies. But to do this to the Cubs, a team that's better than their record suggests, and the Brewers, arguably the hottest team in baseball? It's a strange new feeling. I honestly don't know what to say, so I'm going to post this picture of Von Hayes falling down and hope it will return me to a normal mental state.


That's better. But it should be against the law to put a photo like that on a man's baseball card.

thanks for the props on us not sucking as bad as our record suggests. keep beating the brew crew though, and maybe we can scratch your back since we're up against the mets.
