The Phils lost again today.    Rollins hit a 3 run homer late in the 9th, but it was a bigger blowout than the score suggests.

What we are seeing now, in a time where it's hard to be positive and there's not much to look forward to, is the Phillies future on display.

The Phillies best non move this offseason was NOT trading Ryan Howard.   Thome has had back problems most of his career, and they may need to make a move earlier than expected.    Also, Marlon Byrd is back in CF.   He needs time to grow and get better.  As soon as he hits a bad spot, the Phils send him down.   Let the kid play!!!!
