Utley Passes the Audition in Phils’ Loss

With incessant, pesky trade rumors buzzing around him like biting flies on a warm, breezy Jersey shore beach, Chase Utley put on a show last night at Miller Park in Milwaukee for scouts in attendance and a half-dozen contenders following him.

Unfortunately for the Phillies, their beloved 2008 World Series hero was about the only one putting on any kind of show, as the team dropped a mostly listless 3-1 decision to the host Brewers.

On a night when storms ripped through the city, disrupting even the TV broadcasts back to Philly, the retractable roof at Miller Park allowed the action to go on without interruption.
