stumbling and bumbling

The foul ball parking zone at the Reading ballpark on a mellow evening not too long ago.

In Philadelphia, the mood is more foul than mellow after last night's 7-1 whacking at the hands of Ervin Santana and the Angels. I guess the Angels really are offensively-challenged: They managed only 7 runs on 17 hits. Meanwhile, the team known for its offense mustered 2 hits and 1 unearned run. No hits after the second inning. Vladimir Guerrero used to kill the Phillies as an Expo. His 2-run homer in the 1st off of stumbling starter Adam Eaton was just the first of three hits. Ervin Santana meanwhile mesmerized the boys in red pinstripes. Despite a sac fly ribbie, Utley's slump continues. No one else is stepping up.
