Anyone else shocked by the fact that the Phillies managed to drop both games today?

I know that it is hardly unheard of for a team to lose both games in a double-header, but when your pitchers for that double-header happen to be Cole Hamels and Cliff Lee it is a bit suprising...to me anyway. Do you think the Phillies will turn it around or do you think they will aim to sell pretty soon?

Washington is good this year.

The Phillies, depending on health, would have to play something like .600 baseball to catch up.

David price is no slouch nor are the Rays so to underestimate them/us is just ignorance. And For Lee to be outpitched by our Pen is hilarious.

The Phillies have been hit very hard by injuries (Howard, Utley and now Halladay, for instance). That was a hard-luck no-decision for Hamels, in that double-header, and Cliff Lee is in a poor stretch right now. This is the second game in a row that he's allowed 5 earned runs (in whatever way). The Phillies are 3-9 in games that he pitches, so there's a couple of factors on why he has a 0-4 record at the moment.
