Oh no, Jimmy, what are you swinging out. No worry, it’s only one out but he repeated himself enough that I thought I was watching another bad commercial on TV. Good Werth, cleaned and shaven for his debut for the world to see. A crucial man on base for Utley’s blast which granted us a view of a Philly crossing home. Life is good. Two runs in and the cow bells never got a chance to ring loud enough to bring their herd a win. There was the circus barker standing at the plate with the sleek black uniform protected with heavy padded chest. Yelling to the players ‘Step up, Step up; Hear all about it; It’s the show of century; Come one come all, and be part of it if you can”. “If you can”, lingered on the thoughts of the stranded Phillies on second and third. The Phillies became so frequent on the bases throughout the night into Thursday morning that the Devil Ray players were becoming more than acquaintances of the red hat enemies. Maybe the Rays became too benign as the Phil often ran from first to second or second to third. Yes the bases were populated only to see the well run dry trying to work their way home. If only it was easy enough to stand on third and click your baseball shoes together three times and say that magic phrase. No, the Phillies just didn’t want a soft cushy lead. But it was an exciting pitching duel by Cole Hamels who again showed that we have another Robin Roberts or Steve Carlton. Watch and rejoice with each pitch throughout his career because pitchers like him just don’t come by that often. He mixed his pitches with clever points of interest. Landing the ball on his designated target inside and around the edges of the box. Next, to come along were Ryan Madson and Brad Lidge. I believe they are first place contenders for the award of “the most boring relief pitchers” to offensive minded opposing baseball fans. The third base umpire called last out, and the Phillies took one step forward with a splendid pitching performance.

It’s great to take game 1…We need the offense to show up though because we can’t expect Myers,Moyer,and Blanton to only give 2 runs…Now we gotta face Shields tomorrow (yikes).

I never said stealing it was bad, lol….

Must say the Phils pitching seemed to handle the lay-off well…

We need Brett Myers to tell the Rays “Boom, Outta Here” tomorrow night…

bring it back 2-0 to Philly, and there is a REAL good shot that the title can be claimed at Citizens Bank Park – that would be the most awesome thing of all!!!

Our pitching did exactly what we expect them to do. Not tight at all tonight. Hopefully with the one game lead our offense will loosen up with guys in scoring position.
