run, baby, run

This father and son were hanging over the right field fence before the game, hoping for a ball from one of the Giants shagging during batting practice. Nothing doing, however. It is still amazing to me how many kids are always in that ballpark and how into the games they are.

Good as it was to see the game Roy Oswalt had last night, it was also good to see the Phillies' usually excellent running game come back to life. Chase Utley had two of their three stolen bases, which included a double steal in the 7th. Thanks to Davey Lopes, a wizard at keeping those red shoes running!
