By Phillies you mean Brewers

Gonzalez is making a push 7-12 in the last three games with 5 home runs and 8 RBIs. Man thats a good couple of weeks for most.

The Brewers are incredibly hot right now, but who knows if they still will be in October.

Sox over the Brewers in 6. Gonzo MVP. he has a great shot at leading the majors in Avg And RBI and will only get better. On a side note which team would you rather be, the Sox with fatass contracts for Lackey and Crawford or New York saddled with A J Burdett and Arod ?

Burnett needs to be pulled from the rotation. He's a liability right now.

It is sad how money plays a huge role in these decisions. But on the other side of the coin:

Garica is on the DL
Colon is wearing down big time
Hughes has shown signs, but his last start was garbage and is still a big question mark.

Besides CC (who can't seem to beat the Sox) and Nova...we are in a bit of trouble. Plus we are putting an awful lot of pressure on Nova to be the #2 as a rookie.

Lackey and Burnett kind of cancel each other out. I wonder which out of the two will be better in October. I am a life-long Yankee fan, but I think Crawford will be fine. I don't know if he will live up to his contract, but he will probably have close to a Crawford like year next year. If you take away his injury and his first two months of the season, his stats aren't that bad at all.

As for A-Rod, I think his future with the Yanks is going to be at DH. I am hoping that the Yanks tirelessly workout Nunez at 3B in the offseason. He is going to be a very good offensive player, and has shown flashes defensively, but is still a long ways away from being an everyday player because of his poor defense. I think if A-Rod is allowed to DH, there will be less wear and tear and he will put up some huge numbers the next 2-3 years.
