If it weren't for the crappy teams, the Phillies would have no chance to win any games this year. So thank you, baseball gods, for inventing the Marlins and Jeffrey Loria and Dan Jennings, who notched 10 hits tonight with only one of them crossing the plate. The Phillies won 3-1, and the Phillies have extended their winning streak to... two.
I actually didn't see too much of tonight's game, but like most people who were paying attention (all 25 of us), I was confused when Chad Billingsley came out of tonight's game strangely early. Billingsley started tonight's game and threw five shutout innings, allowing just four hits and allowing the Phillies to maintain an early 3-1 lead.
