PHILLIES NEWS

Yesterday's game was one of the most exciting you'll ever see, but today's on Mother's day of all days, was one of the least exciting. The Phils fell behind early 2-0 on shotty fielding including 2 errors and Cubs starter Ted Lilly made sure that it would stay that way. Lilly cruised through 8 innings, allowing just 1 run on 3 hits, while striking out six. So futile was the Phil's offense that the only run they scored came on a throwing error in the 8th, and they did not record a single RBI on the day and overall only 4 hits. The Cubs, meanwhile tacked on a couple runs in the 9th inning at that was about all she wrote. The Cubs won 4-1 and the Phils lost a tough one, to drop to 17-20 on the year. Life Sucks again
