When a player like Espinosa carries a team, it renders analysis of his prowess impossible. In the space where analysis should comfortably lie, unearthed rage stirs. Shouting at the television becomes an art, curving the medium by which this masterpiece is composed. Go screw Danny Espinosa, you were integral in a 10-2 pasting of my favorite baseball team.

Up stepped former Phil Jayson Werth. This is the manner in which you should treat Roy Halladay. Werth struck out to end the inning leaving the score 5-4. Even when Roy Halladay isn’t quite Roy Halladay, he is still completely bad ass.

So… I hope you have better luck tonight getting a beer thrown on you? I guess?

Dare to believe.

Personally, I think they look too Willy Wonka and I say that because once, when I was in the team store, I went up to one on the rack and licked it. It tasted like snozzberries

Raul Ibanez stayed hot by blasting a second deck home run, Domonic Brown just missed a home run and Jimmy Rollins went 2-4. After Worley got yanked, Kyle Kendrick threw three effective innings of relief. The Phils pulled to 9-5, but John Mayberry Jr. struck out to end the game.

As someone who gets controller-at-the-wall angry at The Show on a daily basis, I can assert that pitching a perfect game is impossible.

With the news of Lidge pitching in extended spring training games, one wonders what his role will be upon his return. The way that Madson has been pitching, it apparently will not be closer. The Phils won the game 5-2 and have taken the first two games of the series thus far.

Ryan Madson struggled allowing an RBI single to Carlos Beltran to make the score 6-4, but eventually got Murphy to ground into a double play to earn his tenth save.

The Phanatic was caught devouring live raccoons behind the stadium!
