Lets see.. Oswalt is injured, but Halladay, Hamels, Lee... top 3 in innings pitched for their league, by FAR the most complete games in baseball. Their COMBINED ERA IS 2.53 I'll repeat that. 2.53 31-13 record and the team is 40-17 in games they started. they've gone at least 7 innings in 44 of their 57 starts. They are 3 of the top 5 in strikeouts and also are have a great Strike out to walk ratio. 3 of the top 9 in all of baseball for the WAR stat (Halladay #1, Hamels #6, Lee #9) all of them all stars and also all three would be in the top 5 of Cy Young candidates (Halladay would probably get the Cy young right now. JJ of the braves has more wins (by 1) and a lower ERA... but halladay has pitched 1/3 more innings then him... I'll repeat again.. 1/3 more innings, like twice the amount of strike outs and 6 complete games compared to 2 for JJ. So we have 3 of the top 9 starters in all of baseball but we're not the best rotation??? you sir, have a plain old wrong opinion. Even braves, redsox and yankee fans would disagree with you. Your comment proved you have no leg to stand on so maybe your not even worth debating baseball with.

Here's a fact: rotations are more than three guys. Are there rainouts every fourth and fifth day when the Phillies play? Because based on your post, one would think that only Lee, Halladay, and Hamels - all great pitchers - are the only ones ever taking the mound for the Phils.

okay we can talk about Vance Worley. 2.20 ERA Kendrick is a spot starter who's won games and has a 3.58 ERA Oswalt and Blanton have spent the majority of the season on the DL... though before Oswalt was hurt and pitched hurt a few times, he had a 2.6ERA. he pitched in 4 more games when injured and balooned his ERA to 3.79 yeah, that really helps your arguement

http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.asp...n=2011&month=0 Philadelphia has 3 of the top 9 in baseball. There really isnt any question of who has the best rotation when you consider how well Worley has pitched 4-1 with a 2.20 era since Oswalt was hurt. If you include Oswalt and (shckingly) Kendrick how can you possibly deny Philadelphia has the best starters in baseball? Because fat Joe Blanton had 6 bad starts? And do you seriously think 99% of managers and GMs would take Verlander over Halladay the difference in age not withstanding? Really?

Anyway, It's not like I'm on some island saying Verlander has eclipsed Halladay as the best pitcher in baseball in 2011: Tim McCarver just said it the other day (not that his opinion means much). Gerardo Parra of the Diamondbacks called him the best pitcher in baseball after a start last month. A CBSSports blog from last month quotes scouts as saying with game seven of the World Series on the line, they'd rather have Verlander on the mound than anybody else. In any event, does his career match up to Halladay to this point? Absolutely not - Halladay is a 1st ballot HOF-er, as far as I'm concerned. But is he a better pitcher than Halladay today, July 13th, 2011? I think a lot of folks in baseball would probably say yes.

so you read an article... meaning you havent watched baseball. zero credibility. 99 out of 100 scouts / managers would say the phillies have the best rotation. and the braves have a better bullpen... the best in the majors. not a better rotation. just give up, you have no leg to stand on.

Right, 99 out of 100. A surefire sign of a failed argument when someone posts a stat that can't be proven. Carry on, homer.

And don't get so sour just because a former Tigers castoff making a paltry $3.25 million is the midseason frontrunner to win the NL Cy Young when your staff has three different guys making at least three times that much.
ETA - even Joe Blanton is making $9.5 million! That's some money well spent. Wish my team could have a $165 million payroll.

McNabb is awesome he should never have been traded. Vick cant lead a team to the playoffs. I could go on and on with your anti-Philly statements that you make up cause you are jealous.
