Pfffffftttt


That was the sound you heard emanating from Citizen's Bank Park this evening as the Phils bullpen blew another one. Is it me or has this team never won a big game in September in this park? I'd have much rather seen this team end up the year on the road. They seem to play much more relaxed on the road.

Anyhow, these last two losses has definitely brought the Braves and the Rockies into play for the wild card. This last week should be very interesting. The Phils sure have their work cut out for them.

I was there for last night's game, and it was a tough one. Moyer had a decent outing and it was only a 1 run game when Cholly took him out (correctly, I might add).

As usual, as soon as you hand the game over to the bullpen, the chances of winning the game goes into the crapper.

Also, Moyer technically struck Teixiera out twice in the top of the first. Both of the balls in the 2-2 count that he had on him when he hit the 3 run home run were strikes. If he didn't get him with the first, the second one was definitely a strike.

I know I was there too and they were strikes however justice was served when the ump got hit in the throat.
