It's a bit surreal to watch this game.

And Ryan Howard DHing

Apparently the Jays will get most of the gate but the Phillies still get concessions. Whoopadeedoo!

Inducing groundballs helps in that area.

Ah the irrational hate of Jesse Litsch (seen pitching below starting at around 8:00)

Its not irrational hate, the only year Jessie Litsch didn't look like **** was the year where we had an extraordinary infield defence, his FIP and xFIP were pretty mediocre. His ground ball percentages(which he hasn't repeated since than) are more of an indication of the defence behind than any real skill.

You say "since then" like he's pitched 2 seasons in between. This is literally his 5th start since that year and the 3rd this year. At least give him some time to prove your claim. By the way, a 4.25 xFIP from a 5th starter in the AL East is nothing to sneeze at.

Litsch had a 4.29 FIP and 4.25 xFIP in 2008, very good in the AL East (and comparable to the numbers Shaun Marcum put up in that season).

But I admit, he's having a serious problem throwing strikes tonight.

It's over. Good night everyone. Good to see Halladay again.

LOL @ "VDub" -- can't settle under a pop fly - 3Runs.

I'm just going to file this under a loss now.

VW bad performance at the plate and defensively

I didn't watch the game but the final score and outcome just tears me up.

Expected nothing less, moving on!

Any help that we can provide Doc in chasing the Cy works for me.

Feck, I totally forgot the game was at 4pm. Goddamn black blocs are so intriguing looting american apparel stores and starbucks.

Great to see us light up Cole Hamels to the tune of 3 jacks and 5 earned over a measly 4 innings. Even nicer watching Marcum go to work for another solid outing.
