nifty 250

Hats off to Jamie Moyer! This afternoon he got his 250th win in the majors, an outstanding achievement for one of the classiest guys in the sport. He should be a mirror for all pitchers, for all players, for how he plays the game in all of its phases.

Moyer went six innings today, allowing one run on three hits in a 4-2 win. Brad Lidge, again looking good, finished it off. Chase Utley made a fabulous, fabulous play in the 9th, whirling from deep on the shortstop side of 2nd to throw to 1st. Nice pick by Ryan Howard on the other end.

And now off to the West Coast and another 10-day road trip.
