People are up in arms about it, and todays game etc and they need to relax and realize we split 1-1 out there which is a good thing overall. As for Hamels I think the good thing about seeing him implode this season is that the phillies are going to have tough decisions to make on who they resign and keep over the next couple of years, and this only helps further evaluate who is truly important and vital to the team. If we have to lose Hamels in order to keep Howard/Werth/Lee/Victorino/Blanton I wouldn't mind at all.

Personally I was more mad at Park than Utley. Of course it is easier to cue the endless Chuck Knoblauch comparisons. Its just a shame everything came apart in that inning. After the way Pedro pitched I thought they'd be coming home with a 2-0 lead.
They still are in good shape though splitting on the road. I somewhat agree on Hamels. If it came down to Lee or Hamels I'd pick Lee, but he is young and talented enough to fix the problems he had this year. Of course he needs to grow up a little and not do stupid things like he did yesterday...
