Trying to avoid the sweep

The Phillies are pounding the crap out of the ball right now. We are losing a lot of baseball games. I'm terribly afraid of Ian Snell getting Kip Wells/Jason Schmidt disease at this point in his career, which is giving up on the team behind him, trying to strike everyone out, and blowing his arm to smithereens and/or destroying his career. Kyle Kendrick starts for the Phils today. He's got a decent ERA and a decent WHIP in eight starts, but he's only got 19 Ks to go with 14 strikeouts walks, which is pretty awful and kind of Zach Duke like. I fully expect the most dominating start of young Kyle's career today.

UPDATE:And no insult for Snell today. Because this team just isn't worth the effort now. Or was that my insult? Ooo, tricky tricky.
