cutting numbers

Roy Halladay went into last night's game in San Francisco with an 0-1 record and 7.75 ERA in two career starts vs. the Giants. A small sample to be sure but the numbers held up in a 5-1 loss to the light-hitting Giants. Halladay left after seven innings to the delight of the sparse crowd. I am again unimpressed by the San Francisco fans. Like the Braves' fans last week, they pretty much could not be bothered to show up for a good pitching match-up.

The Phillies started this current road trip in a batting slump and they continue it in a slump.
