     The Phillies will take it all this year! 
     
           Hitting:           Pitching:            Relievers:

     I just listed those players who I thought would have a significant
impact on the Phillies chances this year.  I know, not much in the way
of relievers.  Well, I believe that the hitting and the pitching combined
will make up for that (plus Holland is still outstanding).  The Cubs have
the hitting also (for now) but their pitching will probably not hold up.
The Mets, forget it.  Beyond Gooden, Strawberry, and Orosco, forget it.
But, once the Pirates get some hitting, watch out (maybe next year)!
