So basically I was freakin out on the Twitter like everybody else, cursing at current Phillies and all, and I got a personal reply from Ryan Howard:
Oh, silly friggin me: I should be calming down. The Phillies dream lineup of Juan Pierre, Ty Wigginton, Placido Polanco, and Freddy Galvis is gonna get their ish together and all of a sudden decide to win.
The Jorge analysis is: THIS TEAM IS SO F$*!ING FRUSTRATING AND I CAN'T STAND WATCHING IT SO WHAT GOOD ARE THE PHILLIES IF I DON'T EVEN ENJOY THEM AND WHY ARE THE PLAYERS SAYING "HEY MAN, RELAX!" WHEN THEY HAVEN'T BEEN THIS BAD IN SO LONG.
Here are some other people who seem to agree with me:
(Will Hoover is the Penn State hitting coach)
Bob Ford says that it gets late early.
THE JORGE SOLUTION:
- RELEASE Juan Pierre who can't play defense or hit anything else but singles
- TRADE somebody. Anybody. Shake it up. John Mayberry to the Cubs for nobody, I don't care.
- SCREAM AND YELL, Charlie, because that seems to have an effect. Throw tables, kick chairs (channel your inner Madson) and let them know that this ish is serious.
- PLAY PETE ORR who would be on pace for 162 doubles if he played all the games.
- BAT JIMMY ROLLINS 8th or something. Embarrass his ass.
