Werth has perfected the Crap-the-Bed-with-the-Bases-Loaded-But-Hit-a-solo-homerun-a-few-innings-later. As soon he came up to bat with the bases empty, I knew he was hitting a homerun. I called it to everybody in my section.

Talk about no love for Werth … the man homers in four straight and still can’t win the Ashburn.

Due to Chan Ho’s Vote for Victorino billboard, his recent dependability, and his tremendous facial hair, I will now be referring to Chan Ho as “The Beard” and Bruntlett will now be “The Terd”. I really think that beard is empowering Park. His pitches are moving all over the place and he looks great.

Speaking of pitchers that should have just shut up and pitched in the pen like we wanted them to, Ryan Franklin is somehow an All-Star thanks to his recent dominance in the closer’s role. He and old man Arthur Rhodes would look pretty damn good in our pen but they decided to do their best Worrell impressions when they were here instead.

Glad to see Chan Ho get the Ashburn Award. He was dominant last night, with 3 innings of no hit, 1 walk ball. Can’t ask for much better from your pen. As Joe Carter said above, the guy has to be making some fans right about now.
Also glad to see J-Rolls keep it up. Looks like he’s finally turning the corner, which should really help this offense get going. I think we have a good chance to sweep the Bucs to head into the break.

[...] Phillies Nation’s Amanda Orr picks up the game recap from here: Encarnacion’s home run gave the Reds a little cushion. …Shane Victorino[’s]…. two-run single off the glove of Brandon Phillips tied the game at four. Phillips wanted those runs back, so he hit a two run shot giving the Reds a 6-4 lead. The first five innings were like a see-saw. [...]

Polishprince171, that is a good stat to look at. I hope tonight was just an off night, I have been towing a thin line of defending what I called his last 5 starts while no defending Moyer performance tonight.

The Phillies have a “Cheesteak” lineup and the “Meat” of the lineup is possibly mightier than any in the history of baseball. With the roll and the meat already in place, the Phillies added the wit and the wiz last night.

Home runs by both Chase Utley and Jason Werth gave them both 20 dingers to date. Combined with Raul Ibanez (22) and Ryan Howard’s (21) bombs this season, the Phillies now have FOUR players with 20 or more home runs… before the all-star break!

With three games remaining before the break, that puts the Phillies well on pace to have four players with 40 or more homers. FOR YOU HISTORY BUFFS: There has never been a team in the history of Major League baseball to have four players with 40 home runs in a season. Only three teams have had three players to hit 40 or more. The ’73 Atlanta Braves and the ’96 and ’97 Colorado Rockies.

With four players with 20 or more homers, the Phillies are only the second team in the history of baseball to accomplish this feat at this point in the season. The 2000 Toronto Blue Jays become the first team in Major League history to have four players with 20 or more home runs at the All-Star break (Delgado-28, Batista-24, Mondesi-22, Cruz-20). The only other current team with player’s with 20 or more home runs is the Texas Rangers with 2. Ian Kinsler and Nelson Cruz have 20 each.

With Utley, Howard, Ibanez, and Werth, the Phillies “Cheesteak” has a lot of meat.

Between his three innings of dominance tonight and wearing the Victorino sandwich board yesterday, Chan Ho ought to be making some fans these days.

In Moyer’s last 9 starts not including this one he has an ERA of 4.14 and in his first 7 starts he had an ERA of 8.15. He started slowly but has come on as of late so everyone needs to back off and remember its just one bad start.
