phillies win 3-1

Great pitching, good defense, and timely hitting added up to a 3-1 win over the Braves on a very hot night in Philadelphia, the best place in the country, by the bye, to celebrate the 4th of July. it took Halladay 93 pitches to finish off the Braves. His only mistake: a solo home run to old friend Chipper Jones in the first. In case you've been dozing, Halladay is very, very good. I would love to have a seat behind home plate when he pitches. Chase Utley, looking good, held a press conference yesterday to talk about his surgery. In typical Utley fashion, he said that he is hoping to be back within six weeks. Yay, yay, yay! Really, doesn't that make you feel better already?
