Three Down, One To Go

This Phillies won game 3 of the series against the Mets by a score of 3-2, with Pat Burrell knocking in 67% of the runs for the Phils, including his 39th career homer against the Mets. Unbelievable. Rollins also homered to start the bottom of the 1st and Jamie Moyer, ageless wonder that he is, pitched well for the Phils, earning the win.

The Phillies entered the season with six starters and the 44 year old is the only one not to miss a turn in the rotation? Guuhhhh. How long until Terry Mulholland is starting for them again? (He was still in the majors until June of 2006 when the Diamondbacks released him.) That being said, it's hard to complain when you take 3 in a row from the Mets and your ace is sheduled to return this weekend.

The game ended in controversy as former Phillie Marlon Anderson was called for interference for sliding into Iguchi on a potential double play ball with one out in the 9th. This happened to Carlos Ruiz last week in a game the Phillies ended up losing, so forgive me if I'm not sympathetic.

And yes, Iguchi go the start because Uncle Cholly wanted to give Utley a day off. Um, he had the last 30 days off! Play the damn man! Sheesh. But hey, they won, so I guess I can't be too picky. 132 down, 30 to go...
