thud

That was the sound of the Phillies falling 7-3 to the Fish and falling out of first. Well, that didn't last long! That was also the sound of the clunker thrown last night by Cole Hamels, who was visibly annoyed by his outing. It's also the second "worst" game by him in a row.

As I write this Mike Lieberthal is being interviewed on the pregame show. Today's the day he again dons a Phillies uni in order to "retire" officially from MLB. Lieberthal sounds absolutely giddy. He's making me smile.

I left the park at the end of the 6th, soon after Hamels was lifted, and took this shot of the 1st base entrance.
