All up to them.I mean,Lugo,Ethier,and Lofton all failed when they had men on base to do damage with.Russel Martin came through,but that was about it.Kent,Garciaparra,and J.D. POOH all fouling out/striking out/ grounding out/whimping out. They sure are due to hit in a big way.They usually bat better than this at home,but f'n San Diego pitchers have made them look like women most of the times they meet.Worst thing about tonite is that Penney is pretty unreliable.Sometimes that guy gets hit very hard.Last time (in Chicago)he didn't.That game(if repeated)would be a welcomed sight.2 hotheads(Penney,Peavy) tonite.1st team to get the opposing pitcher hot,will probably feast.

It seems their younger players are running outta gas(Ethier,Martin,couple of pitchers) Not happy with Ethier throwing to wrong base repeatedly...and the coaches just sit there. If LA wins tonite, I think they can have a good week.

I don't think the kids run outta gas.I think they are not use to the pressure they are now under.Maybe they handle it better next year.Russ is a very game individual though.Doesn't surprise me that, out of the rookies, he is the one that hit it out to get them even yesterday. Very mature for his age, and experience.I hope he can keep Penney calm tonite,and keep him from throwing that fastball too much.

Phils getting beat by Aramiz Ramirez.He has hit 2 out against them.I think he is a free agent (not sure.)What a mint he will get.
