100 for chutley, phillies win

pat skies one
chutley knocks two--
we got dingers

With the Phillies in an hour-and-a-half rain delay in Cincinnati, I got to concentrate on the Double 'Dres leading the Sixers in Atlanta to a play-off spot. Good going! When I fell asleep on the Phils' game, they were up 7-4 and Ryan Madson had taken over in the 6th for starter Kyle Kendrick, who worked hard for his first win of the season. Pat Burrell hit a homer and Chase Utley, even sexier, hit two, for the 99th and 100th of his young career. Final score: 8-4. The Phillies are now .500, somewhere it took them weeks to reach last year. Brad Lidge will join the club today. Baby-faced Mike Zagurski, just recovered from hamstring surgery, had Tommy John surgery yesterday and his season is over. I'll be at the Met simulcast of La Boheme while this afternoon's game is being played. Adam Eaton gets the start.
