Chase Utley showed why he was ready to move into the every day second baseman spot.  The kid is an all star, and I've been saying it all year.  His 3 run homer won the game 6-3 over the Mets.

Corey Lidle had a great night on the mound as well, even though the game's start time was in serious doubt.  Luckily they got the game in and didn't have to play 2, even though that's fun for the fans, it's tough on the players and managers...especially if you have to use a lot of your bullpen.

The Phils will be OK.

Re: Chase away those doubts
i am debating whether or not to make this kid an All-Star...

if you check my picks I chose Reyes at 2nd base over Utley just because of the dazzling speed factor (we need speed on the All-Star team) and because Reyes is leading the league in triples.

I know 2nd is not Reyes' natural position but he did play there last year. 

Am I wrong?

I think over the next few years Utley will be the man

I have no doubt thinking that Utley will be the man...

at least against the Mets.  If I were the Phillies I'd put in this lineup against the Mets.

Rollins, Utley, Burrell, Utley, Burrell, Utley, Burrell, Utley, Burrell, Pitcher.

Of course he's an All-Star... he's a Bruin. 

Congrats on the win.

Its so great that Utley finally starts, Ive always liked him. I do miss Polanco though, he was a good player. Well off to watch todays game! Hopefully they win will again today!

hey i meant to ask you in my last post but i completely forgot. well i was watching daily news live when you guys were talking about the phillies game and that reminded me of a question that i wanted to know for the longest time. well do you think that some of the players on the phillies ever watch that show? or maybe post game live? just to see what everyone has to say? thanks..  kristen

yep, a lot of them catch pieces of the comcast programming while walking in and out of the clubhouse.  A few times, there's been situations where players didn't want to appear on air because of something that was said on the show previously.
