Sure the summer is over but there is still reason for optimism.<BR/><BR/>I feel bad for Phillips because he was enjoying something of a breakout season, but if the season goes down the tubes because of his absence then it would have ended badly anyway. That being said, I'm confident that some combination of Giambi, Betemit, Mientiadciaosz, and Duncan can fill the void.<BR/><BR/>Of course the real determinant in all of this will be the health of Clemens' elbow, Moose's psyche, and whether or not Hughes and/or Kennedy can step up and be a reliable starter every fifth day.<BR/><BR/>This team isn't exactly a world beater, but I think their combo of youth and experience is fun to watch and I'm looking forward to the stretch run. <BR/><BR/>And if they lose? Well...can't win it every year. No reason to get down because 28 other teams will be in the same boat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
