Well I don’t know if many of you had the chance to check out the Phillies series against the Red Sox but as I predicted I thought we would get 1 game out of this series. \u00a0And luckily for us the Mets ran into a subway series which they only won 1 game in as well. \u00a0Was very glad to see us play the Sox well and personally we should of won 2 out of 3 of those games. Game 1 – We lost this game…but did we really lose it? \u00a0I thought they (MLB) brought INSTANT REPLAY in affect for a reason. \u00a0Apparently I was wrong, as this game showed. \u00a0Dobbs cracked a home-run in the 11th inning but the first base umpire called it foul. \u00a0Charlie Manuel stormed (as best as Charlie could) out to talk to the umpire……\u201cHe said he stayed on it all the way and it was foul,\u201d Manuel said, referring to his conversation with first-base umpire Jim Joyce. \u00a0Well after looking at it many times on replay it sure as heck was not foul. \u00a0We should of won this game but ended up losing it to a score of 5-2 after the Red Sox tagged on 3 runs in the top of the 13th inning. \u00a0I guess you could say that foul ball took the wind right out of our sails. \u00a0We may not of even deserved to go into extra innings though, thanks to Ryan Howard who sent a long-ball in the bottom of the 9th to tie it up! Game 2 – was one of those “WHAT THE HELL” type of a game. \u00a0Boston opened up the flood gates on Bastardo. \u00a0Just when I was thinking this kid has a chance to go 3-0 and if he can pitch well off this Red Hot (no pun) Boston team then sky could be the limit. \u00a0Well sky was not the limit at all, to be honest 1 inning was the limit as he go pulled after giving up 5 runs in the first. \u00a0One of those games that you just sit there and say this is one of those nights. \u00a0Well gotta hand it to the Phillies they battled back. \u00a0The pulled within 1 run, before Boston went off again and decided to rack up another 3 runs in the top of the 5th inning. \u00a0From there it was pretty much game over. \u00a0While the score ended up in a 11-6 win for the Sox the Phillies still showed a bit of “were not laying down” that they have always had. \u00a0Good to see that no lead is safe against this Phillies team. Game 3 – \u00a0Now this was a great baseball game. \u00a0A game that it just a good battle. \u00a0I loved nothing more then seeing Beckett get the loss in this game and watching him cursing on the mound while the Cameras tried to pan out the most of it. \u00a0He was one ticked off little pitcher. \u00a0He showed his frustration when he swung the bat in the top of the of the 6th inning by cracking his own home-run to tie the game. \u00a0But that was not enough for the Phillies as they were not allowing the Red Sox to sweep them. \u00a0Phillies reminded the Sox why they are the WORLD CHAMPS as they rang up 6 runs in the bottom of the 7th inning. \u00a0Beckett got pulled after that and sat on the bench with his head down. \u00a0Phillies ended up winning by what they got beat by the night before 11-6. We now open up a 3 game home stand against Tronto Blue Jays who have been blazing hot right now too. \u00a0Maybe we can take 2 from them and start improving upon our home record.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
