If they cannot feast on the poor teams (a la the Cleveland Indians) then I would officially move my state from "concerned" to "worried". Right now I'm Mr. Curious

How long ago was that, 5 years now? longer?

Iguchi was so good the Phils asked him to switch to third when Utley came back. I haven't read the Inquirer in years. Yahoo's MLB/Phillies site links all the local sports news. I get my hard news from the funny papers. Rob

So in summation, the kid (my kid, not me) made it to the first two Pirates games. And losses. Back in the fold, a win. Lopsided at that. And Kyle Kendrick, for the first time ever, pitched a complete MLB game. But as the pisher told me, Phillies tend to do poorly in PNC park. So hopefully they finish the series on a win, and get to .500 for the trip and that PNC park. Welcome home, son. |
