meanwhile, out on the coast

The IronPigs take their pregame stretches at yesterday's game in Moosic.

Meanwhile, in LA the Phillies wasted a sterling pitching performance by Brett Myers and were swept by the Dodgers. It's the first time the Phillies have been swept in a 4-game series since 2004 and the first time it's happened at Dodger Stadium since 1962. Ugh. Are we talking regression big time? Myers summed up the series afterwards: We were outpitched and outplayed. You'd think that Phillies hitters would have severe arm strain from tipping their caps so many times to opposing pitchers.
