Jimmy Rollins and Shane Victorino helped the Phils draw First Blood to set the tone for the rest of tonight's contest.Rollins continued his MVP caliber play leading off the game with a single. Dejavu, considering he led off last night's game with a triple and joined the 30/30 club the night before by leading off that game with homerun. That kind of spark, speaks volumes.
Drawing First Blood is what makes Jimmy Rollins the National League MVP.
What might be overlooked tonight is the kool, kalm and kollected play of Kyle Kendrick. K2 earned his 10th win of the season, pitching 6 solid innings, the first 5 of which were scoreless.
And after 2 homeruns by Howard and Burrell, 6 runs scored (1 each by the first 6 batters), and over 40,000 rally towels, the dust settled and the Phillies ended up in first place. Thanks in large part to our continuous winning and the Mets continuous losing.
The Phillies are in first place. I will sleep well tonight.
PS - I have tickets to tomorrow night's game and Sunday's game. It should be a fun weekend.

YES! The Phillies have played some real TEAM ball all year and continued to stay positive. I'm really impressed. Great job by the fans as well...those towels looked amazing. GO FIGHTIN' PHILS!
