Ryan how war in the first inning three run double. Phillies wind up getting four runs in the first inning. Its really all they would need. For good measure in the fifth inning they blow it wide open with a five spot. How about Dominic Brown did not have a homer before last night. Hit number one last night. Hit number two tonight. Phils won 11 of 13 since the break. The final tonight nine to three. First place nationals second place mets biggest weekend series mets up one to nothing until the eighth.

He its good all that money and all he wants is one more chance to throw one pass in the super bowl that isnt inter accepted maybe hand off to marshawn lynch. 31 million up front. Thats a lot of money. Can i have that pass back please. Cole hamels i guess this is the official beginning of the rebuilding of the philadelphia phillies. Theres no question about it. They got six guys back. Realistically are all six going to be good contributors . No. You hope two or three of these are solid major leaguers in two three years with the nucleus with aaron nola they come up. Three or four good pitchers. Good young infielders infielders with franco and her tandems you can start to see the nucleus much its a long ways away. Sounds like its going to be awhile. Its a start.
