Okay, so they haven't scored a run in 3,202 consecutive innings, but we can still have a good time, huh guys?
Brett Myers takes the hill, hoping for a third strong start in a row, after which he'll surely be disappointing at a lack of run support. At least the pitching staff will have reason to bond together.

I’ll never forget where I was at that moment.

Howard’s batting stance changes every game. Now he’s doing this weird leaning back thing that looks incredibly awkward. Guess its working for him, just drove in Shane to make it 2-0 phils.

Myers looked nice in the first half also. What’s that, like 3 straight starts without surrendering a baserunner in the first? I think he might be on to something.

Pretty decent discipline so far….although i want to know where this was before?

If it means that every deep fly ball is no longer a home run then yeah, consider me ready.

I am amazed by Myers’ efficiency over his last few games. Cutting out the walks has done him wonders.

de-motion
Maybe the demotion to the minors did some good, as much as the whole concept was ridiculed in some circles.

Starting to get rough for Myers now. Let’s hope he can keep his composure.

Yeah, Utley is straight up pathetic right now.

Pirates to promptly tie it up after another blown opportunity with bases loaded.

This first inning fooled me but this team still can’t hit…

Fuck the earlier comment about the discipline at the plate. They are still swinging at shit and taking when it is too close. Yeah, I agree with you FM, about the first inning being an anomaly.

I have an idea: the Phillies offense should open a consulting firm for struggling pitchers. This is how it would work: if you are a struggling pitcher, you call up the Phils, have them bat against you. Their ability to make any pitcher look like Cy Young will send your confidence through the roof.

Shane Victorino is a fucking idiot on the basepaths.

Myers and Cholly got in a pretty heated argument in the dugout. eek. I bet that was an enlightened discussion in which both men displayed their dizzying commands of the English language.
