Just read a stat which is fitting for yesterdays outcome. The Reds lead the Majors with 25 comeback wins this season including 14 with there final at bat. Jay Bruce hit a 2 run shot off of ace Roy Halladay to pull ahead 4-3 in the bottom of the 8th. Doc hasn't been "Cy Young" like since his perfect game many starts ago. This is one of those games where you say, "Why didn't they take him out in the 8th? Oh wait it's Halladay, thats why" I can sit here and play monday morning quarterback and say they should have went to the bullpen, but the truth is I would have kept him in the game as well.
The Reds win the series and the Phillies fall back one more game behind the Braves and Mets who both won last night. Not too much to discuss here, except it was a heart breaking loss that we should have won. Up next for the Phils... a trip to Pittsburgh to play the Bucs for a 4 game set. The Pirates are the worst team in the NL and the Fightins need to beat up on them. After that its 7 games at home against the 1st place Braves and 4 games with the Reds before the All-Star break. This is a big week for our Phillies and they need to get some wins before the break....
