Fair point about Moyer, and the pitching staffs were basically a wash, but look at that Phillies lineup!

Rollins > Reyes (by a little. I think Reyes is overrated)

The guy still has a job after gagging last year's pennant race. The only way that people wouldn't want his head right now is if the Mutts were five games up in the division. Comes with the territory.
