Romano gives 2-run game winning HR to Kirk.

2nd time this week I saw Romano in the 9th.

IMO not a very good closer.

Phillies need Helsley

They sure do need a Helsley. If they can lose more close ones in the next month and a half , it could be even more pressure on them to act at the deadline.

An idea. Plus you only see him six or seven times a year moving forward max.

Where trading Helsley hurts Stl is a head to head matchup in post season.

Then he makes a difference. Not before.
