I haven't seen any chubby girls sing yet, so I think we still have a shot." Jim Thome: "There were a lot of high expectations in the city, with the media and with ourselves. It's a little embarrassing. For us it's big, because teams are starting to get some distance. We haven't played well. We need to come out Tuesday and get back on a roll. We have some catching up to do. "I have to do better. Hopefully, I'll get it going. You want to try to find that groove, and when you do find it, you want to maintain it and understand how you're doing it. And sometimes that goes away, and unfortunately, it's right now." Jimmy Rollins: "Desperate on Aug. 1? I've never heard that. Two months of baseball left? We don't want to get too far back, but desperate? Not even close. Personally, I'm not frustrated. We have to keep sawing away. We still have to make a stand. Otherwise, we'll be with [the media] watching." Inquirer: Pat Burrell: "It's desperate, period ... regardless of where we're going." Larry Bowa: "Desperate is when you're on your deathbed and they give you last rites. There are too many games left." Jim Thome: It's August. It's not May. It's not June. We need to do anything to get a win." Billy Wagner: "We don't want to let this snowball into a nightmare ... We're the only team in baseball without a decent winning streak. I have no clear answer. It's a crazy, frustrating game." Mike Lieberthal: I don't think anybody is expecting a change, but obviously everybody is hearing it. I really expect [Bowa} to be here the whole year. But you never know. It's all about winning in any sport. If the players don't win, it happens ... But I don't think it's really affecting the guys, or they're really thinking about it." Another Inquirer article: Ex-Phil Tyler Houston, in his Las Vegas Review-Journal column: "I have a question for Phillies fans: Where would this talented team be if Bowa wasn't the manager? Bobby Cox's Braves don't have half the Phillies' talent, but Atlanta has a 41/2 game lead in the National League East." 0 comments	Subscribe!
