You know who didn’t look good yesterday? Pretty much everyone playing in the game against the Braves (possible exceptions — Brown and Betancourt).

That was one ugly game.

I agree the Lee outing was encouraging. If Halladay and Papelbon are going to be sick, better now than a month from now.

Cliff looked good today. And was it 80 pitches? Is good.

Brown. Once more with feeling. Kind of hard to see him not awarded left field. Or right. One or the other.

Doc still sick, apparently. Pap needed an IV hookup.

I don’t feel like Utley has been that great. Healthy is good, but I don’t think he’s played real well. Healthy is still good, though.

Halladay is really the guy I would most like to see turn it around before the season starts. Not feeling real sure that’s going to happen, though. I’m with you on the nagging feeling. But let’s hope for the best.

I think Lee is going to be fine. Let’s hope so at least.

On the other hand, Utley, Howard, Revere, Young, and Brown are looking a whole lot better than most expected. And the pen looks good. That’s a fair amount of good news.

I’d like to see Cliff Lee’s next start be a whole lot stronger. That would be good news too.

Giving the benefit of the doubt, let’s say Roy is really sick and whatever is going on is not a cover story for his back blowing up again. No reason to think it is.

It’s this nagging sense that he is finished, that even his great pride and commitment cannot overcome the loss of his physical ability.

You’re right. Roy Halliday does not walk seven in 12. I looked it up. At least, he didn’t used to.
