Jolly Chollie

So the Phillies lost in 16 innings last night, when Jolly Chollie strengthened his bid to be unemployed by October by throwing a relief pitcher in there for OVER 100 pitches. I know Madson was used as a starter earlier in the year, but he has not made a start in almost three weeks, and there is no way his arm (or his abilities) were good enough for Chollie to throw him out there for an eighth straight inning. Hell, he never went that long as a strater for cyring out loud.

If Ryan Franklin and Abreu aren't traded within a week after their pathetic performances last night, Gillick should also lose his job. Abreu stopped himself short of the wall and missed a ball that was easily catchable. Rowand's heroics underscore the need for Abreu to leave town at once. With Cole Hammels scratched from tonight start with a "popping sound" in his pitching shoulder, it's starting to feel a lot like another looooooong summer for the Phillies.
