Boy, when you've got Lozardo and Christopher Sanchez, if Sanchez, Lozardo, and Wheeler, I don't think the Phillies are going to go into very many.

I doubt if they're going to go into another 10-game span where they go three and seven.

They're just starting to get rolling now.

No, I don't think.

They're not a playoff team right now.

Nolan McClain has been good.

Freddie Sanchez has been good.

They have too many questions, two, three, and four, and five in the rotation.

The lineup isn't hitting.

They're going with a younger route with younger players.

I think they'll play better than they have up to this point, but I think they've really pretty most part buried themselves.

They're not winning the East.

They're not catching the Braves, and I think the Phillies are going to lap them.

They're seven and a half games out of a wild card spot.

They have the second worst record in the NL.

They have a lot of money invested into a couple of players, and I just don't see them turning it around and being 500 or above.

Well, I'll tell you a guy I really like for the Cubs, Nico Horner.

He's finally hit his stride.

He's a terrific player, and I'll tell you another guy that's caught my eye.

The Cardinals have a rookie named J.J.
