Philadelphia Phillies at Arizona Diamondbacks, Jul 27, 2009 9:40 PM EDT
The Philadelphia Not-Halladays, uh, Phillies travel to the belly of the Sonoran Desert to take on the Arizona Diamondbacks. It's hot there, I assure you.
Jamie Moyer takes on Jon Garland. My Magic 8-Ball sez... Many Baserunners.
Discuss the game below.

Maybe Coste was a cancer to the team. He had a huge ego and he was really bringing the team down. And they decided that regardless of what he brings to the table, it isn’t worth breaking up the team.

it’s unusual to see the ball hit a DBack glove and actually stay in it.

Good night all. Cholly sending the Beard up just made me unconscious.

blahhhh. It’s all Bruntlett’s fault.

Bruntlett provides us with another reason to shake our head in disgust.

What’s more disappointing is seeing CHoP only in for an out.

2 down, 1 to go.
Come on, let’s go 8-9-1 next inning.

Sigh...
Parra to second on fielder’s indifference.
Madson in from bullpen on manager’s indifference.

Madson wants to make every inning he pitches an adventure, even with a six-run lead.

He's in danger of blowing it entirely at this rate.

As my confidence in Lidge rose, it sank in Madson.

there’s a really hideous patch right in front of the mound. It’s like they’re in the middle of the desert.

Well, I figured it’s because of the climate, but it still looks they need to take better care of it.

it’d be a shame if they let it go to seed. When I saw the place 11 years ago I was deeply impressed—not only at the global-warming inducing stadium-wide air conditioning, but just with the appearance, how nice the workers were, etc.

Insurance would be nice.
Didn’t think I’d be saying that now, after we were through 7.

Moyer did 6, Lidge can do 1. The game’s easy, Harry.

so I guess we’ll have to invoke Rich Ashburn to get Lidge going again.

I personally would have been shocked it Lidge allowed a base runner.

That’s what we needed to see.
