After a solid victory in Thursday night's game thanks to the continued hitting heroics of Ryan Howard, and a gutty pitching effort on three days rest by Jamie Moyer, the Phillies managed to snag a game from the Brew Crew and their co-Ace Ben Sheets, battering him around in the process.
Last night's rainout twists everything around... both teams decided not to play on Monday -- a mutual off-day -- instead voting to make the game up with a day-night doubleheader on Sunday. Thanks to stupid ESPN, the World-Wide Leader in Killing Fan Enthusiasm, the nightcap won't be on television due to Sunday Night Baseball exclusivity. Enjoy Tigers-White Sox, baseball fans!
This afternoon the Phils send their ace to the mound in Cole Hamels, who despite a rough outing last weekend against the Mets, appears set to rebound. Manny Parra pitches for the Brewers.
