Game 63 Cubs @ Phils

Tonight's game is also on WGN the Chicago superstation and for unknown reasons to me it isn't blacked out so I get a chance to watch a Phils game with decent announcers or at least not Wheels and T. Mac.
That didn't last long after a long rain delay I wasn't able to tune that channel back in.

Here's another game of five hits or less and 3 runs or less and it has come back to get them tonight.
Leading 3-2 going to the ninth. Madson gets an out then gives up a game tying home run.
Next batter Bops one over the fence too, or did he.
It looks very much like a guy reached over and pulled it back over the fence into the stands. The guy grabs the ball quickly and angrily throws it back onto the field. Now they have been showing replays and the guy has gotten a call and was shaking his head as he was told by somebody that he might have screwed up the game for the Phils if this doesn't get overturned.
The replay shows that it didn't go over the fence and the play is overturned put him on second and the dope in right field gets removed from the game.

It all comes down to the Phils not scoring runs again and only getting five hits. Wheels and Tom MacCarthy just got done saying how they are again not scoring more then three runs, then the tie homer and the next batter was of for his last 34 before knitting the ball to the wall for the fan interference.
No more runs and here comes the bottom of the ninth.
The Phils have one pitcher left, David Herndon so let's hope they can score and hold off the Cubs.

I'm going to bed and finish watching there. I'll finish this up tomorrow.

They lost the game in eleven and it could be said that Charlie Manual could be blamed for this one because he ran out of pitchers in only the tenth inning.
The Phils loaded the bases with two outs in the tenth but since they had no one left to pitch he had to leave Herndon in to hit and he can't hit.
He took two down the middle and feebly waved at a third one for the out.

Top of the eleventh has Polanco and a throw over to first in the dirt for an error. Cunbs get a guy on so it seems pretty sure that they will get a run. They do.


Mood, who knows what my moodis, I don't. It's the same thing every game. Two ot three runs and five hits. Even extra innings only allows for five hits.

Loss 4-3
Streak 1 loss
Last ten 4-6
Record 37-26 watch out the Braves are only two back
