Insight, observations (and whatever else comes to mind) on the trails of the team that ended the quarter century-long parade drought in the City of Brotherly Love - the Philadelphia Phillies.

Jamie Moyer should be in the Hall of Fame

My hotel here in balmy South Florida is about 200 feet away from the Fishing Hall of Fame.

Sadly, I have not take the time to check out its hallowed halls. But I imagine there has to be a plaque representing Jamie Moyer somewhere inside the building.

Heading into tonight's game at Dolphins Stadium, Moyer is perfect against the fish. He's won EVERY time he's faced them. Moyer is 8-0 in his career with a 3.51 ERA.

At Dolphins Stadium, he's 3-0 with a 1.83 ERA.

That's pretty darn good. I only wonder if the Fishing Hall of Fame has given him his proper respect.

Cole Hamels was close to unhittable, but two costly home runs and one bad outing by Tom Gordon led to the Phillies second loss in a row Wednesday night.

In the notebook, the Phillies have been anything but roadkill away from Citizens Bank Park this year.

I can only hope you're joking about Jamie Moyer belonging in the Hall. He's had a fine career, but come on already.

Reading comprehension, people - READING COMPREHENSION!

Read the entire post, from the first sentence on, and the "Fishing Hall of Fame" is clearly what I wrote about, since Moyer has made a habit of reeling in wins against the Fish.

As for his chances at the National Baseball Hall of Fame, I wouldn't dismiss Moyer altogether. I think he'll pitch another year and he could easily reach 250 career wins.
