The worm turns

Well, that was exciting. The Phils scored four runs in the bottom of the ninth last night to beat the mighty(?) Astros 4 to 3. It was a pretty amazing finish -- Geoff Jenkins scored the winning run from first on a ball hit down into the corner by Pedro Feliz. It's debateable whether or not Jenkins was actually safe, but after the luck the Philly teams have had of late, the fans will most assuredly take it. Especially after watching 8 innings of their team being shut out by the force that is Shawn Chacon.



Yeah he was probably out. But its nice to see a call go our way after the abortion that was the Cavs-Sixers game on Monday night, and the phantom homerun by the Cubs of all teams over the weekend. Stupid minibears. Also, Jose Reyes was out at the plate last week.

All in all, a good way to start the week -- the team needs to get in form for this weekend's big series with the Mets. The weather is getting warmer too -- I'm sure we fans'll be full o' bellige. I will be drunk and possibly surly at Saturday's game (4 pm start means plenty of time to tailgate beforehand).
