little bit of this
little bit of that---
all together now
And it was a team effort to come back yesterday afternoon from a 5-1 deficit to the Fish. Geoff Jenkins tied the game with a 2-run pinch-hit homer and in the 7th Pat Burrell put the Phils in front with a clutch 2-RBI double. Then Tom Gordon, with a verbal assist from Jimmy Rollins, held the Marlins down in the 8th and My Guy Lidge closed the door in the 9th. Did I mention the flashy glove work by the big man at 1st? Or Rollins' heads-up baserunning? Or Victorino's hotness? Or, speaking of hot, Chutley's 20th homer? Or how about Jamie Moyer, who once again bent but did not break? Sure, he gave up 5 runs (on 3 bad pitches), but he settled in and went 7. Once again Moyer was matched up with a young phenom half his age and once again he came away with the W.
It was an interesting series. Could be lots of good games in the offing with the young Marlins, who will be truly dangerous when they and their manager put it all together.
So long as he's not injured, I never worry about Cole Hamels, a delicious young man. I worry even less after hearing him quoted to the effect that he was looking forward to talking with Moyer, Gordon, Seanez, and Lidge about his recent rocky outings. The kid knows his stuff.
