PHILLIES NEWS

If you have no idea that the Phillies played a game today you are not alone because this afternoon's game between the Phillies and the Nationals was not broadcast on TV. Yeah that's right you could've tried every channel on your TV and you wouldn't have found them. You would've however, been able to find them on the radio in their normal slot on the Talker 1210 am station and that's how I know about the game. Now, of course on the one day that they were not televised the Phillies decided to play their best game of the series with the Nationals. For 7 innings Cory Lidle and Livan Hernandez were locked in a pitchers duel with the Nationals leading 2-1. Then in the top of the 8th inning with 1 on and nobody out Pat Burrell stepped up to the plate and cracked a two-run homer, David Dellucci, batting for Chris Coste, followed a few batters later with a two run double, and Jimmy Rollins followed him with an RBI single to help the Phillies build a 6-2 lead. The Phillies bullpen actually closed the door for once and the Phillies walked away with a 6-2 win over the Nationals. Yep that's right Phillies fans they actually won for a change, but it wasn't on TV which is really a shame when you think about it, not! better luck next time fellas. Oh and Phils if you are going to win a game, try doing it when you are actually on TV, okay! thanks. Oh and on a more somber note Mike Lieberthal was placed back on the disabled list today for at least the next week and pitcher Chris Sanches was recalled from AAA Scranton to fill his roster spot, here's hoping Lieby takes his time getting well if you know what I mean.
