halladay dominates

Roy Halladay threw eight dominant innings against journeyman Pat Misch and the Mets last night in a 4-0 win. In the 3rd, Halladay got the first Phillie hit of the game, then scored on a Polanco RBI single. That was all he needed but the Mets gift-wrapped three more runs, as Misch, Ruben Tejada, and David Wright combined for three errors. It took 38+ innings for the Phillies finally to get on the board this year at Citifield. Can we all now move forward? Tonight it's Kyle Kendrick v. Mike Pelfrey, which could be a two-way disaster, a lopsided victory, or an unexpected pitchers' duel. Who knows with these two iffy guys?

Chase Utley played five innings down in Clearwater, going 1-3 with a triple.
