sloppy ball

Last night J-Roll lost his streak of 230 games played consecutively and the Phillies lost the game. Kyle Kendrick morphed into Gavin (oh-no) Floyd, nibbling instead of pitching and walking 6 in the first two innings. The Mets scored only once, though, on a fielding error by Chase Utley. The Phils then tied it, on a throwing error by Jose Reyes. In the 3rd, the wheels came off. Eric Bruntlett, subbing for Rollins, committed 2 errors, Carlos Ruiz threw another. By inning end, the Mets were up 7-1, with five runs unearned. Ugh. Not the way to play or win ball games. If we want a silver lining, Chad Durbin was good in long relief. J-Roll did not look happy on the bench.
