READER POLL: Highlight of the season?

As the CBP grounds crew tries to dry the field after a deluge stopped play in the second inning, I wanted to pose this question to Phillies Nation ...

With the Phils having just passed the 81-game mark, what's the highlight of the season so far?
a) Barry Bonds hitting his 713th home run at CBP on May 7 against Jon Lieber.
b) Aaron Rowand's jaw-breaking catch in center field May 11 against the Mets.
c) Cole Hamels' major-league debut May 12 at Cincinnati.
d) Ryan Howard's upper-deck home run, the first in CBP history, and his 7-RBI game June 20 against the Yankees.
e) Other


How about the lowlight?
a) A 13-5 rout by the Cardinals on Opening Day.
b) Jon Lieber injuring his groin while fielding a ball May 29 and missing six weeks.
c) The Phillies getting swept at home by the NY Mets from June 13-15
d) Brett Myers getting arrested and charged with hitting his wife June 23 in Boston.
e) Other

b and d, but the real highlight for me will be if and when they trade both Abreu and Burrell. Good riddence to both of them. Abreu is the most overrated "fantasy league stat-producer" in the league. Other teams know both of these guys aren't winners and with their price tag it will be tough to get anything for them.

Don't agree on Abreau but strongly support the "Dump Burrell" movement. Never seen a more streaky hitter. After all these years, still looks like a scared rabbitt approaching the plate. And whose fault would the price tag problem be? You got it!

Actually at this point I think Abreu going and Burrell stayiing may be the best. Burrell can still play third. Just a thought. Abreu can get a pitcher. God they need pitching!!
