September 15, 200521 yr Would give us a 7-4 road trip. If you told me that a week ago, I would have been thrilled and said, "I hope so." I think we should be a bit more positive about the way things have gone, especially when playing in some tough stadiums against some tough teams. Now, starting tomorrow we have to protect our house, but that's another matter. Go Marlins.
September 15, 200521 yr It's gonna be tough, but not impossible. Taking three from Houston would be huge though.
September 15, 200521 yr Have to stay ahead of the Phillies that are surging right now, so tonight is a must win going into the weekend series.
September 15, 200521 yr We beat Pettite before, (Game Six), we just have to do it again. It's that simple. Play to win, boys. Take no prisioners.
September 15, 200521 yr last 10 starts for Pettite, he is something like 8-2 with a 1.89era not cool.
September 15, 200521 yr At the start of an 11-game road trip, 7-4 wouldn't have been an, "I hope so," imo. It's better than 6-5 though.

What exactly were you hoping for out of an 11 game trip that included stops in Washington, Philadelphia, and Houston? Considering most teams are .500 or worse on the road, 7-4 sounds pretty great to me.

September 15, 200521 yr Well, we were a 1/2 game back of Philly (tied with Houston) when the road trip started and they've played all home games.. so no matter what happens tonight in our game and in Philly's game, it still should be considered a good trip. Some teams would fold on a trip like this against the quality of teams we've played. With that being said, a win tonight would be ginormous for this teams confidence and big for Vargas as well. Go fish.
September 15, 200521 yr the fact that the team even survived their playoff aspirations going into and coming out of this trip says a lot. a lot of teams would just fold, .500 ball on a trip like this is great, anything better than taht is awesome... 6-5 is good. 7-4 is incredible
September 15, 200521 yr The Phillies beat Hudson, we can beat Pettitte. After all he has lost 9 times, to teams like Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Arizona, Baltmore, San Francisco, and the Chicago Cubs. We're playing better than all of those teams so have a good chance to beat him.
