It's tough to rely on Adam Eaton, but the Phillies need to split the series today. He's done a good job against the Mets, and he has to put in another good outing today since the bullpen is pretty depleted. Flash went on the DL, and R.J. Swindle was called up, so that's one fresh arm in the mix. It'll be interesting to see how he does because he really doesn't have conventional stuff.

Pat Burrell not making the All-Star Game is an absolute joke. People complain about fan voting, but if the players and managers, especially Clint Hurdle can't see what kind of year he's having, then they're not much better at voting themselves. It'll be sad if he doesn't get in as an injury replacement or with the final ballot, and I might not watch the game if he's not there. That's just one of many bad selections by the players and Hurdle.
