		<title>Reload</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now that we are done with the latest stretch of interleague play, it is time to reload.  The Phillies started their new look yesterday by demoting Brett Myers to AAA.  Myers has been struggling all year except for 2 starts.  I have been saying for a while that they needed to do something with him.  I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Congratulations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I would like to take a little time to congratulate the Fresno State Bulldogs.  They are the new NCAA Baseball Champions.  If you have heard anything about the College World Series this year, you will know that Fresno State is the lowest seeded team in any sport to win a championship.  They were the underdog [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finally</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After dropping 6 games in a row, the Phillies beat the Oakland A&#8217;s last night 4-0 behind a strong performance from Kyle Kendrick on the mound and Chase Utley at the plate.
Kendrick gave up just 4 hits and struck out 4 in his 8 innings of work before handing the game over to JC Romero [...]]]></description>

		<title>Phillies Lose 4th Straight</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Phillies lost to the Los Angeles Angels last night 6-2 to run their losing streak to 4.  Once again the offense was shut down getting only 5 hits.  Jayson Werth homered and Pedro Feliz drove in Chris Coste in the 7th inning to tie the game at 2.  The Angels then scored 2 runs [...]]]></description>

		<title>Santana too Much for Phillies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s very difficult to win a game when you only get 2 hits in 9 innings.  That&#8217;s what happened yesterday as the Phillies lost the opener to the Angels 7-1.  Shane Victorino and Chris Coste were the only Phillies to tally a hit, and Victorino and Ryan Howard each drew walks.  The Phillies were even [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trade Rumors</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As many of you might know, there are a lot of starting pitchers who either are, or are expected to become available for trades.  Since Day 1 we have known that starting pitching was a weak point for us.  That was even with the assumption that Brett Myers might be able to pitch a little.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Phillies Can&#8217;t Overcome Kendrick&#8217;s 1st Inning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Kyle Kendrick gave up a 3-run homerun to Boston&#8217;s JD Drew, and then gave up a solo shot to the next batter, Mike Lowell.  The Phillies added a run of their own in the bottom of the inning, but after Boston put up 2 runs in the 3rd, the game basically became out of reach.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Touche</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well Boston definitely responded in yesterday&#8217;s game.  When a game gets handed over to Hideki Okajima and Jonathan Papelbon with a lead to close out the last 2 innings of a game, things don&#8217;t look good for the opposition.  Sadly, the Phillies were in that position last night as Red Sox starter Jon Lester handed [...]]]></description>

		<title>Take That Beantown</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Phillies beat the Red Sox 8-2 last night.  Ryan Howard plowed the way going 3-5 with 2 homeruns and 4 RBIs.  Now I respect the Red Sox and how they play, but I sure don&#8217;t like them.  I hardly ever saw anybody wearing a Boston ballcap until they won the World Series a couple [...]]]></description>

		<title>Phillies Lose in 10</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I think it should be a rule that Tom Gordon should not be allowed to pitch in the 9th inning or later of a game.  Granted tonight&#8217;s loss, 7-6 in 10 innings, is not all his fault.  There were two errors in the inning that led to Rick Ankiel scoring for the Cardinals.  One [...]]]></description>
