Last night's game was the 100th consecutive sell-out for the Phillies, who trail only the Yankees in average attendance. Kudos to all, and that includes the fab team, the front office and organization, and the fans.
Unfortunately, the game itself was a dud. As usual, the Phillies did not hit with Cole Hamels on the mound. This time it was Jonathan Sanchez holding them to just one hit through eight innings. They got a couple more in the 9th and even managed to avoid the shut-out but the Giants won it 5-2. Hamels did not have it from the start, giving up three runs in the 1st and another two before leaving after the 5th. It's way past time for this pathetic lack of run support to end.
