Welcome back to the show the never ends.  Salary cap is coming to you live from Pottsville,PA.  Home town of the famous Yeungling beer, Two hospitals for 10,000 people, and the largest percentage of alcholism per county in pennsylvania.  But, I digress.  Let’s talk about Philadelphia sports teams(actually the phillies and donovan McNabb).

The philadelphia phillies.  First, I might have been wrong about Adam Eaton.  He just won his 7th game in the first two and one half months of the season.  An earlier post broke down his contract(horrific that it still is).  However, salary cap has been wrong on him.  The rest of the phillies(minus cole hamels, of course) are just good enough to break my heart for the 28th consecutive season.  These clowns of pitching look great one day, then, unbeknowst to me, the gambler, take a dive.  My advice, do not bet on Jamie Moyer or Freddy Garcia.

Now, the hitting for the phillies has been slowly picking up as the days have gotten hotter.  Since coming off the DL, Ryan Howard has lead the charge by hitting .316 with seven homeruns.  Chase Utley and Jimmy Rollins have 22 homers between them, which is tops for middle infielders in the major league.  While Wes Helms has been a terrible letdown/upgrade, G Dobbs has done a good job at filling up the holes offensively.(side note, the Phillies are 17-5 when G dobbs starts)

The last little something is from salary cap to The Dad.  Donavan McNabb is ahead of schedule.  He looks good.  I am going to have to say that other than the Phillies catching the Mets, McNabb coming back as my quarterback is the best news of the summer.
