I saw this sign last week in Delaware Water Gap. We bought two tiny pies there, a key lime and a blueberry. Both were deliciously tart in very different ways.
Today, too, it was all about the pitching and defense--or rather lack thereof. Jamie Moyer gave up five runs in five innings and the bullpen another five in a 10-5 loss to Carlos Zambrano and the Cubs. Throw in sketchy defense and base-running and you had a long, hot day at the ballpark. Even on the radio it was tedious. Each time the Phillies came back a bit, the pitching would give it all back.
With the loss, Jamie Moyer has now lost a game to every team in the majors. Today was his first loss to the Cubs, the team which drafted him 23 or so years ago.
Please, Charlie, gave Utley a break. He was 1 for 13 in the series and could have had a couple of errors tagged on him today.
News of note: Brett Myers has been cleared to start making a return to pitching. He was projected to be out after hip surgery till at least September. Myers is talking about a mid-August comeback. He says it would be to the bullpen. Optimism is good.
