Coincided with Hamels getting his first win of the 2013 season. Odd in and of itself. Also possibly a metaphor of things to come. Carlos will stabilize both the Line-Up and the pitching staff. He is that good.
My Halladay prediction did not come true which is a solid. I did not think he would make it out of April without going on the DL to go down and work on mechanical issues. The fact that he is still here provides a glimmer of hope this club can get to 90 wins.
The All Star break is a long way away and the trade deadline even longer. The only prediction I can make is this. If they are in the hunt they stand pat with the club they have and this group of veterans will be given a chance to compete. They will not trade prospects for veterans.
I do believe they are resolved to get younger after this season regardless of how good they are playing come July.
A much needed night off tonight after sweeping the Mets before heading off to Cleveland. The May schedule is a mixed bag of really good and really bad teams. I am looking for 16-12 record for the month of May which would put them at 28-26.
