The Phillies finished the month of May with a 17-11 record — good enough to keep them in the thick of the hunt in the NL East. Unfortunately, they also lost the services of their most consistent pitcher thus far, Brett Myers, for what will likely be the remainder of the season. Myers developed a hip injury that seems to be contagious throughout baseball. The Phillies are now in a shopping mood, looking for another starter in a hurry. They were actually already looking for someone before Myers went down, so now they’re even that more desperate.
