PHILADELPHIA -- Boy, is this next week huge for the Phillies. They return from the All-Star break on Friday to open a seven-game homestand at Citizens Bank Park, beginning with a three-game series against the Nationals. Once the Nats leave town, the Dodgers roll into Philly for a four-game series.

PHILADELPHIA -- Phillies president Andy MacPhail sees what everybody else sees: The Phillies have holes on their roster, and one blockbuster trade for one impact player before the July 31 Trade Deadline is unlikely to change that.
