The Lowly horrendous Astros(now 52 games BELOW .500) now appear to have ruined a miracle run by Phils. If we had swept the Astros instead of going 1-3 against them, we would NOW tied with Cards instead 3 games back(and we would have been 14-1 for are last 15 games, but are instead 11-4 for those 15 games because Astros pushing us around) There are only 11 games left, we just can't make it as we are 3 behind Cards Dodger 2.5 behind and Brewers(on a 7 game win streak) are just 1.5 behind. We are now 40 and 23(63 games) since we were 37 and 51(84).
Again i must rally to Howards defense:Howard himself says he deeply annoyed at his .230 average, BUT i point out, though batting .230 he driven in 54 runs in 65 games with 13 HRs, done the math, and over a 162 games season that works out to 139 rbis and 31 HRs . How possible? His batting average with men on base MUST be over .300, has to be.
Horst ERA in relief now 1.09(LH specialist and means trading Valdez was a good trade---sadly for Valdez, Reds simply rarely play him--use him most as PH) was GLAD he got a big ovation when he PH for Reds in Philly--who will ever forget his being the winning pitcher in that 17 inning game!?
Charlie has not played Ruf at all--think he will not play Ruf until are we mathematically eliminated---i had hoped to see him get lots at bats.
Pierre REFUSES to get old! He now has 2132 hits in Majors playing for 6-teams in 12 years:also has 589 stolen bases.
There should be a JHOF--that standsJourneymensHallofFame. Later. Max:
Kendrick now 8-3 since allstar game.
