PHILLIES NEWS

The Phils got the day off today after winning their weekend series against the Cardinals. Tomorrow they start a 7 game(but only 6 day, with a doubleheader Friday) home stand with a 3 game set against the lowly Cincinnati Reds who come into the series sporting the major league's worst record, at only 29-47. Of course, the Royals had that same distinction a couple weeks ago when they took 2 of 3 from the Phils and ended Freddy Garcia's season, so it is not give in that the Phils will dominate this series, but the fact is, they should dominate it, and if they don't they'll be in big trouble. At any rate in the first game of the series tomorrow night, young guns Kyle Kendrick of the Phils, and Homer Bailey of Reds will face of against each other. At this point both are undefeated with ERAs of 4.50 and 4.00 respectively, so it should be a interesting night.
