The Phillies couldn't fend off a relentless bird attack tonight. Nor most nights.
I have two Scott Franzke quotes and a tweet with which I can convey how this game pretty much went:
Hopes should not have been high, since a quick check of the calendar will reveal that, s***, it’s still June, a month in which Phillies pitchers have allowed opponents a .858 OPS and a month in which the Phillies have gone 4-9. Also, they do not have a pinch hit home run this year. That’s may seem like a random fun little fart noise now, but we’ll get back to that later!
