Actually they were probably (South) NJ people...this week public school kids in NJ have off W-F for Teacher's In-service. For that reason I'm surprised you didn't see just as many Yankees' jerseys, hats, etc.

My friend took his family there last year this time during the school break and he said it was Southern South Jersey with all of the Phillies garb.

I don't know what Charlie would do. I would start either Hamels on a very very short leash, with the first two out of the pen (if he struggles, even just a little bit) being Happ and Blanton. I would even pull him after 4 if he allowed no runs but struggled with his command or was being hit hard. Late inning set-up/situational relief being Park, Durbin, Eyre and Madson and use Lee as the closer. No Lidge at all. On two days rest I wouldn't trust Lee's stuff for more than 35-40 pitches, but even one pitch could be too many. I still would use him as the closer (like the D-Backs did with Johnson). If they used Madson or Park as the closer I would be okay with that too. But that's me....shrug.

And there's a lot of talk about how many saves Madson blew this year. The thing is that stat is kind of skewed because if you lose a lead in the 7th, 8th, or 9th inning you are charged with a blown save. Situationally, losing a lead in the 8th is a lot different than in the 9th, especially when you're typically starting the inning in the 9th nine times out of 10. Admittedly, he still wasn't very good as a closer, but that stat they keep throwing around is misleading, IMO.

After the family issues Pedro's had lately, I hope he pulls a W tonight. He deserves it.

I'm pulling for Philly, but Pedro just looks flat. He needs a shot of vitamin B-12.

I don't see Pedro coming back out. He's done for the night.

Someone buy Pedro a one-way ticket to the Dominican.
