Actually 5-0, but now it's in a rain delay in the 2nd.
Pray for clearing.

It's cleared. They're playing in the top of the 3rd.

Phillie is showing heart. It's 8-5 in the fifth, with two on, two out. Feliz just whiffed and Ruiz is now the tying run at the plate.

Ruiz singled, and Howard was held at third with two out.

Maybe he should've gone for it-- Dobbs struck out to end the 5th. It remains 8-5.

BTW... if you think we've got batting order issues, look west: does anyone know why Matt Kemp (.306/.369/.471) is batting eighth for the Dodgers? After an hour-and-a-half lighting failure delayed a Randy Wolf-Scott Feldman pitchers' duel, LA and Texas continue in the 6th, with the unstoppable Dodgers up, 1-0.

I'm listening to the Phillies broadcast. I'm not sure whether Gary Matthews is drunk or stupid. Or both.

Kemp is actually batting 9th. Joe Torre has Furball (with his .639 OPS) in the #2 hole.

Yeep, you're right. (Not to mention Blake, Loney, and Loretta.)

With the bases drunk and one out, Sox threatening again in the seventh. TMF, did the Philly crowd cheer Drew getting hit by a pitch?

So, Omir Santos is one up on Shane Victorino, Ryan Howard and Raul Ibanez.

Papelbon closes out an 11-6 Sox win (thanks, Terry Francona!) by buzzsawing the heart of the Phils' order (minus Utley's seeing-eye single).

Mets win - Yanx lose (direct cause-and-effect there) - Phils lose - Braves lose

I'm like quadruply happy just 24 hours after a disaster of a Friday night

6/14

6/14--

Phils string together three hits off Beckett to take a 1-0 lead.

JA Happ vomits that lead up rather violently, giving up two home runs and 4 runs in the away 2nd.

4-1, allies, after 2.

Bad "ace-ness" is contagious today:

Lowe against the light-hitting Orioles: 2.1 IP, 7 ER, 8 H, 3 BB

Phils clawing back behind... smallball? 5-4, Phils in the 5th after a two-run double from Howard follows some singles and sac bunts.

Meanwhile, the O's keep piling on-- 10-0 against the Atlantans.

And that's Beckett failing to protect for the Sox.
Now 5-5

He did protect the plate, though-- the tie came on a Beckett home run.

Same score after 6.
