The Phillies have won five in a row, and the offense has woken up for now. What better time for it to continue than tonight against one of the better teams in the NL and Kyle Lohse? I hated seeing him dominate the Phillies a couple months ago. There aren't many pitchers in the league that I'd like the Phillies to beat than Lohse. I'm glad he didn't get a big, multi-year contract like he hoped, and I hate seeing him pitch well.

Later today, I hope to have another edition of prospect stock watch and maybe I'll finish my trade deadline wrap up.
