The second time the Phillies had a runner on third with no outs and didn't score him, I pretty much gave up on the game. Cole Hamels didn't have it but battled mightily for six innings. The Phillies took a 3-2 lead into the 9th but Chase Utley misplayed a ball and Brad Lidge compounded his dismal season with a two-error throw to first that allowed the tying run to score. After that it was just a matter of time. Braves win 4-3. But the real story of the game was 1 for 12 with RISP. That's what the Phillies were today.
Sad to say, Brad Lidge is now 0-5 with eight blown saves. His ERA remains over seven. Aiyaiyaiyai.
