Don’t look now, but hockey season is over.
And in case you haven’t noticed, the Phillies are in the midst of a losing streak.
They fell again last night, going meekly against the Nats in D.C. They managed all of seven hits and no runs against Nationals starter Tim Redding. That’s three losses in a row, and six of their last nine.
And guess who was on the hill for the Phils? Yep, that would be that Brett Myers. The guy tabbed as the “ace” of the staff who was the opening day starter is now 2-5 on the year with an ERA of 5.76.
Myers wasn’t horrible last night. He just wasn’t good enough, although it’s a little tough to win games when you don’t score any runs.
The Phillies and Myers need to be better. Summer beckons. We have now endured 100 straight seasons of professional sports in this city without a championship.
Shooting for 101 sounds like the summer of our discontent.
