chewaw steak

Las Vegas - Looking for a good cheesesteak and gonna roll with the Phillies over the Mets this afternoon. Zack Wheeler, who used to be a Met, gets the start, and he threw only BAGELS at New York the last time at Citi Field. It was 7 innings, 0 earned, 4 hits and 8 Ks. But the main reason for the selection is AGAINST Taijuan Walker. With a spot on the National League All-Star squad, Walker was cruising along at 7-3, but after the break, it has been ugly, REALLY UGLY! He has not won a game (0-3) and if you're sitting, check out these numbers. Taijuan has allowed 26 hits and 20 earned runs in the last 15 innings of work. So, that's close to a hit and a half per inning and an ERA of 12.00. And yea, you can call it the Dirty Dozen. Gimme Philly for the money.
