The Phillies fan in body paint certainly delivered some karma to the Phillies (and the Eagles to boot). Let’s re-cap:
– Phillies win Game 3 after Jamie Moyer pitched a gem, 3 HRs get the job done, and Phillies get the final run to seal the deal in the bottom of the 9th thanks to a player hit by a pitch, an arrant throw allowed him to get from 1st to 3rd, and Ruiz was able to get him in off an infield hit. Even though I had to get up at 8:00 a.m. Sunday Morning, every inning of that game was worth staying up until 2:00 a.m. for.
– Eagles get a huge win at home over Atlanta. We’ll get to the good and bad from that later.
– Phillies win Game 4 after JOE BLANTON pitches a gem AND homers for good measure. There was a flurry of home runs by the Phils. It seemed as if just about everyone in their lineup had a homer (or RBI). HR: Ryan Howard had 2, Joe Blanton added his in the 5th, Jimmy Rollins was 6 inches away from his, but that didn’t matter because he got a double out of it and Jason Werth homered at the next at bat to take the game to 8-2. RBI: We got one from Pat Burrell and Pedro Feliz. Surprisingly no RBIs from Ultey, but he got one base twice on walks and scored 2 runs.
