I can’t tell if that headline is weird or not, but I’m sticking with it. Ryan Howard is getting hot and I’m getting excited. Howard has 4 homers in his last 4 games, including 2 last night supplying all of the runs the Phillies would get and/or need. The only thing that sucked about Rhyno’s homers last night is that I barely lost what could’ve been a great bet. I bet my buddy that the Phillies would homer in the bottom of the first and I got 5:1 odds for it. Sure enough after Chase’s line drive double play, Ryan Howard homers to start the second. Come on! It’s not even about the few dollars I would’ve won, it’s about the bragging rights! Damn. J.A. Happ is killing it too and he’s got to be the front-runner for the rookie of the year. Well, after Fernando Martinez that is… HAAH ZIING! Man, I’m sorry about that. I couldn’t help myself. Anyway, good win for the Phillies, great job by Howard and Happ.
