New York Mets at Philadelphia Phillies, Jul 4, 2008 7:05 PM EDT
In a situation which brings no pressure whatsoever, lefty J.A. Happ makes his first big league start of the season tonight in Philadelphia versus the rival New York Mets and a pretty good lefty pitcher named Johan Santana.
Happ was brilliant for AAA Lehigh Valley in June; the Phillies surely hope he can continue his hot streak a few miles south on the Northeast Extension.
The Mets currently sit 4.5 games behind the Phillies in the standings, and could sit just a half game back in the event of a sweep...
Happy 4th, go have some hot dogs.

Happ looking pretty sharp so far
...although I wonder when the rain delay will begin

Rain Delay
Home plate ump seems content to call everything a strike and get through the game.

Sadly he changed his mind in the top of the fifth

Happ is starting to fall apart.
Shame because it seems like the Phils have no interest in making Santana work at all.

The ump just screwed happ on an 0-2 pitch the wright with the bases loaded…should be out of it, i hope he can still get wright now that the damn count is full….i hate umps

He got jobbed during the wright at bat.
Though, if the offense doesn’t show up soon, will it matter?:)

No, they are not gonna get anything off of Santana anyways, so its all moot.

Way to give him the shutdown inning!
On eight pitches, no less.

Chad Durbin was like: “Oh, so I don’t get to start. No problem, I will just strike out everyone I face! That’ll show em’!”

GREAT inning from Lidge. Howard, Burrell, and Pop Up for the bottom of the 9th.

Lame at bat from Howard. That was a pretty damn pathetic swing.
