Well, the Phillies made it all the way to the World Series with Mitch Williams as the closer, and then with a very bad Brad Lidge. Neither one ended well, but I would be happy with going to the Series this season.

The bullpen definitely did blow it, but if the offense were putting up even better than mediocre numbers against this all-star Pittsburgh 3-man rotation, the pen wouldn't have been in a position to blow these games.

Coming in to today, in the month of September:
Starters: 10 GS, 56.2 IP, 1-4, 4.13 ERA, 3.96 FIP
Relievers: 35 G, 31.1 IP, 3-2, 4.31 ERA, 3.45 FIP, 0 SV, 3 BS
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
The offense at least could blame injuries to some extent.
The bullpen is healthy. Ineffective lately, but healthy.
Pirates announcers pretty much mocking Cordero
If Cordero was a race horse they'd euthanize him.
Time for some Miguel magic.

Seems like Hernandez always finds a way to get on base in situations like this.

Cairo batting. Alonso sitting.

Brad Lidge had one of the best seasons ever by a closer the year Philly won the WS.
Phil Castellini puts the FUN in Trust Fund.
Miggy! Now it's all up to Stubbs.

love how the pirates announcers are talking about hanrahan like hes mariano rivera, although i guess compared to coco he might be...
Stubbs has been hitting the ball pretty hard today.
C'mon Drew. Show the pop that I questioned so much in Spring training.
