Whacky Game
Following the previous post headline, today's Phils game was one of the whackier ever. The starting NYM pitcher got rocked for two 3R HR's in 2/3rds of an inning, before being yanked when running the count to 3-0 against Pedro, LOL. His pitch count was ridiculously high too: 47 total pitches. Add to that an inside the park home run by the NYM in the same inning, an overturned triple, a ninth by the Phils with dubious plays/errors (one by Howard, two by Bruntlet) to put two on with no outs (the winning run at the plate) and Wild Thing Lidge on the mound, and you've got a crazy finish that the Phils are ready to just blow the game. Well, Bruntlet then turns an unassisted walk-off triple play. Amazing stuff.
Go, Phils! (Do games like this mean anything supernatural? Things are rolling too well.)
Pedro Update: Not to bad. 5 Ks in 6IP, scattering a not-so-wonderful, but tolerable 7 hits (only one BB). He was clocking the fastball in the low nineties. No Moyer in long relief today, though.
