If the Phillies lose today it will be the Franchises infamous 10,000 loss. After being down 3-0 the Phightens crawled back. Starting Pitcher Adam Eaton stayed calm and helped his own cause with the bat going 2-2 with a sac bunt. Even Pat Burrell contributed with a timely solo homerun. At the end of the sixth inning the rain and wind was pouring down and a rain delay began.
The Rockies ran inside while the Phightens gathered in the dugout. As the grounds crew rushed to cover the field the hounding winds caused some to be covered by the tarp. Immediately the entire Phillies Bench ran out to help save the men underneath and then helped cover the field. The team out themselves out there to help save some lives and then gives the workingman a hand. I think this last game before the All Start break is just hat the doctor ordered. Lets hope Mother nature gives the Phillies a three inning “save” and they build on this momentum into the second half of the year.
UPDATE The game did not get called, but the Phils won 8-4 and will not lose number 10,000 before the All Star break. I expect a winning streak after the break because no pitcher wants to be that guy. Look for great team chemistry for the rest of the year.
