In the beginning of the year I liked the Phillies...Alot.  After watching them for 1 month I have to say I changed my mind.

- Thome has one HR

- Bell is hitting 205

- Burrell is back to pulling of the ball and is chasing sliders in the dirt again

- Abreu is not hitting the ball well

- The bullpen is a mess and Tim Worrell can't get a college kid out.

- Last night Charlie Manuel decided to hit for Lieber and in the next inning Terri Adams gave up 3 hits, a walk and a huge homer to Beltran

Every area of their game is struggling... Front Office.. Manager... GM... Players.

Usually, there are one or two issues, mostly injuries and things like that.   Here, we see the same problems that have plagued the team for the last 20 years.   It's not getting better, and it's only going to get worse.
