The bad news is Jamie Moyer is done for the season (and possibly his career). The good news is the Phillies are not. The Phils clinched their third straight division title last night. This team has a much different make-up compared to the championship team from last season, even with a lot of the same players. Their closer is no longer “lights out”, but they’ve got some other guys like Pedro Martinez and J.A. Happ who few people could have imagined would be doing what they’re doing in a Phillies uniform at the beginning of the season.

A lot of people seem to think the Yankees are going to run away with the crown this year, but I’ve seen a lot of heart in these Phillies. A month from now I don’t think we’ll be hearing about the Yankees finally getting back on top for the first time in 9 years; I think people will be contemplating whether or not we can begin calling the Phillies a dynasty.
