I've Got High Hopes!

So it has been a minute since I decided to write on the blog. Not that you could tell by the comments, but the waters were stirred with the last one. I just received more phone calls than posts. I guess I hit a nerve with some people. Anyway we are moving on to one of my favorite subjects...The Philadelphia Phillies. This post is addressed to the unfaithful and the local media. For example on post game live this evening (Mitch Williams) said, and I quote "It's time to worry." I guess I should expect this "worry" from a guy who justified his inconsistency by accepting a comparison between himself and a gimmicky movie character. So, to the "Wild thing" and the band wagoners...We haven't even hit the half way mark and the Phils still lead the Division. They are down a closer and a starting left fielder right now. The MLB season is a long and bumpy ride. If you are a fan like I am, you have seen this before with every team in MLB every year. For you newly involved fans our World Series Champs are still in a really good position. If you have lived and died with this team you would know that we are still off to a better start than most years. To the players feeling like you just can't win or you just can't lose...Baseball requires it's players to keep an even keel. Don't get too high or too low. Play with a relaxed intensity. Be confident, believe in your team and yourself.
