a washed-out split

Rain erased today's rubber match with the Nationals. The Nats won Friday night 3-1. Cole Hamels had 'shoulder stiffness' and Livan Hernandez flummoxed the Phillie offense in a yawner. The Phillies won Saturday 11-3 behind a solid outing by Roy Oswalt. The Nats played sloppy, sloppy ball and the Phillies capitalized at every turn.

Placido Polanco is still missing time with his now balky hip. The guy is falling apart, which is sad.

Dan Uggla had his improbable hitting streak halted today at 33.

Lots of rain is falling here in the Northeast, this time bringing blessedly cool weather with it.
