July 19, 200422 yr I am going to chronicle the team during this stretch, using our schedules and the Sillies schedules. Fish @ NYM (2) - We go 1-1 with Dontrelle winning and Bump gettin slammed. The offense peaks with 15 runs. (Actual: 2-0, 15 runs, Bump slammed, mets pen slammed harder....) Silly @ Atl (2) - They go 0-2 with Paul Abbott losing and Eric Milton getting shown the door by the hot Braves (Actual: 1-1 cause 12 fingers still can't pitch) ------ Fish @ Silly (2) - We send two aces and send the Phillies to fourth place. AJ and Carl each turn in quality starts. Homerun Park breeds more runs as Randy Wolf and Kevin Millwood are no match for a hot Fish lineup. Willy has three homeruns. (Actual: 1-1....Two quality starts....one victory...no Willy.....Still on pace at 3-1 this season) ------ Fish @ Mon (3) - We take two of three...sadly I think that we lose one to them because the team just isnt capable of sweeping them. (Actual: 0-3....Sadly i gave this team too much credit.) CHC @ Silly (3) - Wood, Zambrano and Clement....cubs take 2 of three. I'll be there on Saturday so that's a loss. (Actual: 2-1....I forgot that this is the Cubs and they choke a lot.) ------ Homestand 4 vs. Philly and 3 vs. Montreal - 5-2 with us losing one to each team. Sadly we won't go 18-0 vs. the Sillies. (Actual: 4-0....Swept the Sillies.) Sillies roadtrip 4 @ Fla, 3 @ ChC, 3 @ LA, 3 @ SD - 4-9.....the season turns for them as their mediocre pitching comes to form. The Sillies will claw and fight the rest of the season to get back to second while we battle Atlanta for first. (Actual: 0-4.....Swept embarrassingly.) So over this stretch the Sillies are 5-15 and we're goin 10-4......First place and the end of the four team race. I believe in the team waking up and think that the pitching will spark us. The offense will be back. Call me crazy but when we go 10-4 in the next 14 then ill expect praise.
July 19, 200422 yr I find it a little funny how everyone thinks we will keep steamrolling Philly I just dont see it, even if we were 30 games over .500 its just too hard to own a team so long
July 19, 200422 yr Do you not remember how long they owned us? How every lucky bounce went their way? How every homerun they hit no matter how bad they played? It's our time now! It's in their heads. They know once they see the Teal stuff happens....a pierre bunt here....a massive Lowell HR off the untouchable Wagner....

July 20, 200422 yr Well guess what....after that magical win....we're 1-0......maybe i was a little too low in 10-4 as a prediction.
July 20, 200422 yr I pinned this til the end of the 14 game stretch for you. Hopefully you are right!
July 20, 200422 yr Lets not overlook the Braves, it wont matter how well we do aginst Philly if the Braves keep playing good baseball.
July 20, 200422 yr One game at a time Bman, We still got Mutts to neuter tomorrow, And also we gotta have a good series against montreal, they are not as weak as when we first saw them.

July 20, 200422 yr I voted 9-5 and that's dependent on 9 guys plus the bench playing break-ass, effective Small Ball. And on Koch resurrecting himself.
July 20, 200422 yr so we have 6 vs. mtl and 6 vs. philly, the 2 teams we own? oh boy, time to make our move
July 21, 200422 yr Holy s*** FishFan You nailed it!!!! 15 Runs in both games, Bump getting slammed The only difference was that we didnt lose and Dontrelle didnt win but didnt get a decision!

July 21, 200422 yr FishFan you're a genius. I never thought Bump would get rocked lol. But after scoring 6 runs over the weekend, nailing the 15 runs was gangsta.
July 21, 200422 yr If all goes well and we do go 10-4 or better, we have to figure out a way to beat the Braves, the one team that we haven't dominated this year in our division and the one team that is going to be up there fighting for first. I voted: 14-0 of course!
