So my Phillies were horrendous to start the season and were 30 games under .500 at the all star break, 29-62.  Post break they are 40-64 and about to win again tonight.  Their offense has woken up after trading their best pitcher, best closer,their manager resigning and getting rid of various other players.  Howard has been playing very well post all star break too which i have always said, the offense goes however he goes.  I like seeing them win but it scares me that they may think this is Amaro's doing and keep him on after his contract ends this season.

The Brewers went in the opposite direction: traded 1/3 of their lineup, a SP, and a bullpen arm, and they are in the crapper.
