PHILLIES NEWS

The All-star game was tonight and as mentioned 3 Phillies took part in it. Chase Utley started at second base and went 0 for 2, Cole Hamels pitched a scoreless 4th inning in relief, and Aaron Rowand came off the bench in the 8th and went 0 for 2, flying out with 2 out in the bottom of the 9th, the bases loaded, and the National League trailing 5-4. In other words Rowand blew chance to become a Phillies legend, and the National League lost its 11th all-star game in a row. Which of course means, that if the Phils somehow reach the World Series, they will not have the home field advantage.
