| Once again, an early lead is wasted. Rob Barajas and Chase "World Fuckin' Champions!!" Utley both hit solo homers for a 2-0 Phillie lead, which is promptly erased on a 2-run homerun for Yunel Escobar in the 5th. The 2-2 tie lasted until the bottom of the 7th inning. Jamie Moyer, not pitching too bad up to that point, I let bat in the top of the 7th not wanting to go to the suckass bullpen. However, the Braves get to Moyer in the bottom of the 7th and take the 5-2 lead with a litle help from Pat Burrell thrown in. Despite Burrell's torrid bat as of late, his fielding hasn't improved a damn bit as he commits his 13th (!) error of the season which allows one of the runs in the inning to score. Atlanta adds 2 more in the 8th, and 7-2 is the final. Now 13 seems like an awfully high number of errors for an outfielder in a season, and in the real season Burrell did have 10. Quite a few times, it has seemed like late in the game Burrell has made an error which has somehow led to a run and the difference between a win and a loss. I have replaced him defensively numerous times, but in a close game you want his bat in the lineup. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Just one of the reasons that the Phillies are doing nowhere near as well as they should be. |

WEB GEMS- Top 1st: Jeff Francoeur robbed Ryan Howard of a Homerun!
The amazing Atlanta Braves easily topped the Philadelphia Phillies; the final
score was 7 to 2.
Atlanta scored 3 runs in the 7th inning. The big moment was provided by Kelly
Johnson who made the crowd come alive when he doubled plating two runs.
Atlanta ended up with 8 hits for the game while Philadelphia had 4.
The win was credited to Peter Moylan(9-5) who went 3 and 1/3 innings allowing
no runs. Jamie Moyer(10-13) was the loser. With the win, Atlanta continued
their winning ways; their streak now stands at 6 games and counting.
