Since there hasn't been any many threads about the Phillies, and figuring the bad start they've had.. some fans may have been hiding, here is the thread to talk about the Phitin Phillies this season. 4 game win streak, are the Phillies ready to contend having the record of 8-11?

What I like about the Phillies:

Jimmy Rollins - what is there not to like about this guy? he has always been a proven key player through his years. this seems to be the best starting year.

Good batters are starting to hit... good..? Better, still not the best.

The outfield - Shane and Aaron are clutch outfielders.. always make great plays. Burrell is good... but big and slow, but theswitching of him for Bourn when they have the lead really helps their D even more.

Infield - Rollins/Utley/Howard... great combo. enough said. I'm not so sold with Nunez/Helms, although Helms is hitting good.

Brett Myers to the bullpen - good move? I think so.. it will help him learn to pitch better in clutch situations when he becomes a starter again.

Starting pitching - Has been okay.. Cole Hamels is some sort of saint. Other guys, a little shakey.

What I don't like:

The Bullpen - we all know the situation

Tom Gordon - I like Tom Gordon, he's a good guy.. but until he shows up with a curveball, he' on the bad side of the list.

Rod Barajas - Besides having good aim throwing out steals, egh... give me Chris Coste back! He is hitting .160... barf!

What about all of you other Phillie's fans.. how do you feel?
