The Phillies’ 2010 season has gone a bit differently than their 2008 and 2009 campaigns. The team has been decimated by injuries, some guys have flat out not shown up, and the National League has gotten noticeably better. It also doesn’t help that they’ve played two completely full seasons, having made it to back-to-back World Series. They’re tired, and beat up, and time is running out. So, with all of that in mind, I’ve got some rants and wake up calls to dole out one by one.

Get ‘em in. It’s time to do your best Nostradamus impersonation and attempt to look like a world class baseball analyst. Tell us if you think that Stephen Strasburg will win 20 games for the Nats; that the Royals will finish first in the AL Central; or that Jayson Werth will win the NL MVP.

Yup. The one possible reason one might watch a Nationals game died today when Ryan Zimmerman went 0-3 with two walks this afternoon.
