We don't have he bullpen

Carpenter sucks.. still have the best closer in baseball.. but this may be true.

our hitting is so bad

Not really.. look at the hitting as recent as this month..



That's 5th in the entire MLB in hits for the month of June. (4th in the NL)

NL ranks in June:
7th in batting average (which is right at the middle)
2nd in homers
9th in rbis (middle of the pack, need to improve)
3rd in K's (ouch)

I agree the lineup is bad and the bullpen isn't up to Braves standards.. but I still wouldn't just count out winning the East like you guys are..

You are all depressed because the lowly Phillies just ate our lunch. Howard typically owns us.. they always play us tough.. But we still own the Nationals, Strasburg and company, and this will be huge going into the second half.
