Phils Stumble Out of Gate

Whether to focus on the good, the bad or the bonehead moves by Charlie...

The Good

1. #37, I leaped out of my seat screaming with joy when J-Roll smashed a 3-0 pitch for a double.

2. Three hits by Utley

3. Two hits by Burrell, Abreu, Lieberthal and Rowand

4. Deep homerun by Ryan Howard

5. Geoff Geary two scoreless innings of relief - look for Geary to be the surprise of the bullpen in 2006!

6. Abraham Nunez starting over David Bell

The Bad

1. Lieber and Julio Santana serving meatball after meatball

2. Aaron Fultz showing none of the confidence he displayed at the end of 2005

3. Darth Rolen hitting a grand slam and finishing the day with 3 hits despite the fact that I went hoarse booing him every at bat

4. Miss America making an appearance and my only thought - "this bitch needs to eat a sandwich"

5. No Chris Coste

Bonehead Moves

1. Starting Lieberthal instead of Fasano when Lieber doesn't feel comfortable pitching to Lieberthal.

2. Using Alex Gonzalez as a pinch hitter in the fourth inning against a righthanded pitcher when Shane Victorino and David Delucci

3. Intentional walk to Edmonds to load the bases for Scott Rolen -- Rolen promptly hit a grand slam

Look for the Phillies to bounce back on Wednesday behind a strong outing by Brett Myers...
