But yesterday was sure fun. I think Ibanez will be way better in the second half than he was in the first. He’s already picked things way up since April and the first couple of games in May. I think Mayberry will always have power and can be exciting, but over enough bats I think he won’t get on base enough to play every day. Martinez had a fantastic series and especially yesterday. He has made some exciting defensive plays over the last couple of weeks.

Great game yesterday and a great way to go into the break.

The slaughter. Did anyone see this coming? Holy smokes. What an ending to the first half. Think Ibanez can carry any part of this forward in his memory into the second half? Or Martinez? Or Mayberry?

That would have been a nice one to have caught. I guess it doesn’t matter a whole lot if McCann is going to homer anyway, but I’m still for catching it.

A NINE pitch, three K inning? Are you kidding me? If that kid can install GPS co-ordinates for the plate in his brain, our bullpen will match anyone’s.

Great so see the Phils win a battle of the pens with the Braves. Stutes and Bastardo have been fantastic. Monster home run for Ibanez and glad to see Ruiz hit one out, too. And two hits for Brown.

Two heavyweights slugging it out. Great baseball. BTW, I wonder if you can hit a baseball harder than Ibanez did.

Jiminy. Should we pray for rain? lol

Agreed on the need for clean play. That last game was not good.

Better now than in September, I guess. Still think it’s going to be a nice series. I hope they don’t set the over/under for errors made by the Phillies outfielders at 2.5 for the set, cause I would be torn.
