B. Plus Andy Van Slyke's league leading double total.
C. Divided by Dan Plesac seasons as a Phucco.
D. Times Kent Tekulve's career high in appearances.
E. Minus Benito Santiago's hits as a Phucco.
What's the #?
*I couldn't bring myself to do a second consecutive post focused solely on the Pirates. Therefore I went with the mixed theme of the Phucco (Phillie + Bucco).
Extras:
*I'm still baffled by Charlie Manuel's selection of utility infielder Omar Infante for the NL All-Star squad over the 1st half MVP Joey Votto. Infante is batting .309, but it's empty because he only has amassed 9 extra base hits. Meanwhile Votto boasts a 1.017 OPS and has nearly as more RBI (59) than Infante has games played (57). What the hell was Fuqua thinking?!
*Roy Halladay is on a pace to pitch 278 innings this season. Gotta think he'll fall a bit short of that.
*Chase Utley is shooting for a return to the lineup in 6 weeks, rather than the original prognosis of 8.
*Big ups to Greg Dobbs who has went 6-21 (.286) since his brief stint in the minors.

1747?
1747
Halladay is 10-7 after 18 games. He will likely pitch 17 more times which means if continues getting a decision almost every time out he could end up with a 22-11 record. I guess it also goes with the fact that he pitches 8 or 9 innings almost every time out and that accounts for his high inning total. He is on a pace to have 14 complete games too.
1747?
I refuse to speculate on the account that my inadequate math skills have previously been showcased.
Lawyer speak for I suck at math.
Greg was right, and hence forth Joseph and Bob D as well, 1747 is the #.
With Mayberry down on the farm and D Brown lighting up AAA. Look for the Phils to continue showcasing Francisco in the coming weeks.
I like Ben Francisco, but he seems like a guy who needs regular time to get in a grove. Not sure what trade value he holds, but if it could land a reliever then go for it.
Interesting comparison... When you think of the Cy Young frontrunner at the break, you think Jimenez. But look at the stats:
A: 2.33 ERA, 3 shutouts, 119 k, 7.7 k/9, 1.2 BB/9, 18 starts
B: 2.27 ERA, 2 shutouts, 107 k, 8.1 k/9, 3.3 BB/9, 17 starts
Pretty identical. Throw in the win/loss ratio and the first stands out as Halladay and the second as Jimenez. Playoff berth will probably decide this race at the end of the season.
11 innings.
2 hits.
Nuff said.
Correction, 11 innings 3 hits. And, yes, horrible and unbelievable. Ben needs playing time over the tentative and confused Werth.
No offense to David Herndon and Mike Zagurski, but they really don't belong on a MLB roster, let alone that of a team with 2 consecutive World Series appearances.
And 3 hits, suck!
Howard has to score in the 7th inning. No. Questions. Asked.
I think he should have been sent on Francisco's flare. If your offense has two hits in the 7th, take a chance. You're at home!
Zagurski struck out the side. He made one bad pitch. I think he has potential. Now Herndon, on the other hand....
