14-8! What a drubbing! Each time the Phillies took a lead, starting in the 1st, the Marlins took it back and then some. Brilliant when pitching on short rest on Sunday, Brett Myers had almost nothing last night, giving up 10 (ouch) runs in 4+ innings. Fish starter Josh Johnson had little more but benefited from his punishing offense. Florida is almost always a house of horrors for Philadelphia. But the Phillies had better find an answer for the Marlins quick or this season may be washed away. As for next, when the Marlins should be really good, look out.
Jamie Moyer, too, faltered after a great outing on short rest. Are the effects from pitching on short rest residual? On the other hand, last night's pitch selection (Coste or Myers, I don't know) was dubious. Joe Blanton tonight and already I am thinking a lamb to the slaughter. Good thing I'll be on deadline!
