Enough Already

Reliever Edubray Ramos' first pitch out of the bullpen in the 7th inning was smacked into right field for a two-run double by a guy who hadn't had a hit in a major league game in 10 years. Phillies radio guy Larry Andersen let out a a deep sigh, along with fans all over the region.

The Phils lost their sixth straight game on Saturday and have dropped 15 out of their last 21. They've plummeted 7.5 games in the standings since June 1. They're not hitting and have wasted two straight great starting pitching performances, the bullpen has an ERA of 7 this month, and the base-running is atrocious.

This is the second straight year the Phils have slid into oblivion under the watch of Gabe "Dr. Feelgood" Kapler. At least he got ejected yesterday. Maybe it's time for a new manager. Maye Bryce Harper needs to shave his beard off. Maybe Matt Klentak needs to make a major trade to get some pitching help.

People are already foaming at the mouth for Eagles training camp to start. Something has to give. We've seen this movie before and everybody is sick of watching it.
