Let me pre-empt him
“83 wins…Guess hack hitter…Cardinals play great fundamental ball…”
I honestly have no idea why he watches this team if all he does is bitch, moan and complain about them when it goes poorly. He should take up a hobby or go sailing or do something.

Look at the pitching matchups:
Happ v. Harden: close, but the Phillies offense is just so much better. Phillies
Samardzija v. Martinez: Why the hell is Samardzija getting a start? Definite loss.
Cliff Lee v. Dempster: Cliff Lee will dominate this team.
We’ll get swept by the Phillies, and this season will be done.

I watched G.I. Joe tonight
That was ten times better than seeing this debacle. This season has been extremely disappointing with all the injuries and to see them keep racking up makes you wonder how teams can get lucky and not deal with the amount of injuries the Mets and Cubs have had this year.
And the eighth and final rule: if this is your first time at Fight Club, you have to fight.
Too many injuries, no real stars, bloated payroll inhibiting any moves, lack of defense
just a few of the reasons why this team will be lucky to still be in the race by the end of August. But miracles can happen. Who’s gonna step up and provide a spark?
"He can't hit, he can't field, he can't run—all he can do is beat you."
Poor display
of defense, and unlucky injuries to the starting pitchers. They certainly seem like a team with a lot of holes on the road. I witnessed the past two games in person, and it was embarassing to watch.
