[dicemen99]

What is going on with the Phil's offense. It wasn't long ago with Harper out that they were fielding a lineup with Schwarber, Turner hovering between the high .700s and low .800 OPS, a few guys struggling to stay above .700, and 2 to 4 guys in the order in the .600s.

I look at us now and we've got 4 solidly .800 or better guys in the lineup when Turner is back, another guy getting near that mark in Marsh, and even Stott, Kepler, and Kemp above .700.

Everybody hits! Oh, how the tides have turned.

[Docs]

Thank goodness, they finally ended this scoreless inning drought

[allentown]

And that's that. Good win. Again, our pitcher only touched for a score in the first IP.

[LoneStarPhan]

Another good win. Good offense coupled with good pitching.

[zambonir]

Sosa injury not great but hopefully minor. Walton call-up big now.

Torn between going tomorrow or seeing if Sunday might be clincher. Go Rangers!

[EastFallowfield]

Mets game is final, they lose again

[zambonir]

Go Reds, while we're at it
