The Fightin' Phils Live Up to there Name

While most Philadelphia sports fans were busy yelling at the television, wondering why Brian Westbrook was not being used more often, the Phillies were busy creating some telle-yellers of their own.

Had you been watching the Phillies instead of the Eagles, you too were probably yelling at the television wondering how on earth the Philles could blow an 11-run lead.

I was the former. I did however hear about the disaster and tuned in with the Fightin's leading 12-11.

And now, down the stretch the Phillies are ready to strike. Fresh off another sweep of the Mets, the re-rejuvinated Phils are again clawing and scratching their way back. They're fighters.

And they'll be in this thing until the end.

They hit St. Louis at the right time, where it seems like the Cards can't even buy a win.

Currently the Phils are in the 13th inning fighting out another with the Cards. A win tonight would move the Phils within 1.5 games of the Mets. Surpisingly the Phils' offense is dormant today, while their bullpen has been stellar. I will stay up and watch the end of this one, but I do want to close this blog.

Go Phils!

PS - Cole Hamels only went 3 inning in his first gamem back from the DL. In those 3 innings Cole gave up 3 runs and 5 hits.
