That's how Pedro Martinez summed up last night's game against the Diamondbacks, which was started by himself, interrupted by a dramatic thunderstorm, and finished by Jamie Moyer out of the bullpen. "The fans got to see two old goats for the price of one," said Pedro, who went three innings, giving up two hits, including a lead-off homer to Stephen Drew, before thunder, lightning, rain, and wind sent the game into a delay.
When play resumed an hour or so later, in the bottom of the third, the Phillies put three on the board. Jamie Moyer, in his first stint out of the bullpen, went six shut-out innings, giving up just two hits. Moyer benefited greatly from facing a young, free-swinging team in the D'backs and from a generous strike zone. Questioned after the game, Moyer somehow managed to sound aggrieved. I don't like judging based on edited snippets but he still sounded sulky about pitching in relief. Get over it, Jamie.
Jayson Werth hit his 25th homer of the season, a two-run shot and a career best. That put the Phillies up 5-1.
Haren vs. Lee tonight. Sounds good.
