oh-oh, rodrigo

Rodrigo Lopez was almost an overlooked part of last night's 10-1 win over Ted Lilly and the Cubs. Raul Ibanez put the Phillies up 3-0 in the 1st with a homer to center. Carlos Ruiz broke out of his offensive slumber with a two-run homer in the second. The offense never looked back. Lopez, he of the thick black hair, went six innings and ran his record to 3-0. The Phillies won their 9th in a row and 13th in 14. The starting pitching during this period has been outstanding. It's always good to see someone come back from injury, then surgery, which is what Lopez has been doing this year. I saw several of his games with Lehigh Valley earlier this season. He didn't win them all but always looked like a major league pitcher. And he does have gorgeous hair.
