oswalt outdueled by harrison

"Let's all get stoned." Thats about all I could think after yesterday's game.

Roy Oswalt looked like he was on the comeback trail, giving up just one run in seven innings of work yesterday. The one run was enough, though, to earn him his first loss ever at Citizens Bank Park. The offense was unable to muster anything against lefty Matt Harrison of the Rangers, who salvaged the final game of the series 2-0. The Rangers and Phillies combined to score just nine runs in three games---and the Rangers are built on offense. Yes, watching the Phillies' current offense could drive one to drink.

Snap out of it, Jimmy. Come back, Chase. Take a deep breath, Polly. Relax, Ryan. Step up, Raul. Seize the day, Johnny. Shine, Domonic. Do your thing, Carlos.
