In an interesting development, the Phils decided to send struggling SP Brett Myers to the minors to try to regain his form as a starter.  He has not seemed to be comfortable while back in his starting role this year.  Is he better off as a closer? With Brad Lidge pitching well this year, that is not an option. If Myers does not regain his form, what will GM Pat Gillick do? Personally, I would try to get AJ Burnett from Toronto for Geoff Jenkins. With Jayson Werth showing he can be an everyday player, a player like Jenkins becomes expendable in my opinion.

After taking Game 1 from the Braves, the Phils need to push for a sweep to gain some momentum from an otherwise disappointing road trip.
