PHILLIES NEWS

The Phils had the day off today, to contemplate why they've lost 4 of their last 6, you know besides the fact that the last two teams they faced were really good, while the Phils are just well, good. On a more postive note Jon Lieber, who strained his ankle last night, is expected to be back by Friday of next week. Do the math and you realize he's only going to miss one start, so the Phils can just simply skip his spot in the rotation, without having to worry about bringing somebody up for a spot start. At any rate, the Phils start a 3 game set with the St. Louis Cardinals tomorrow, which has the potential to be a good one, considering how much the Cards have struggled thus far this season.
