I am very excited about today's game. Both the Braves and the Phils are wearing their 1974 original uniforms, oh also Halladay is pitching against Tim Hudson. Can't wait to see those uni's.
The reason for the old uni's is that today is the Civil Rights Tribute game so they went back to 1974 I suppose because that was the year Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruths home run record.
I love this old powder blue uni with the fat P.
Roy Halladay has given up five hits into the fourth. Three hits including, two to start the fourth, have shattered bats.
No score yet but they have first and third with no outs on those two broken bat hits.
After a k for one out a ball bounces right up the middle and Halladay tries back hand it and it just bounces off his glove.
That would have been an easy double play that's just a shame, they get out of the inning, but it ends up a hit, another cheap hit and a 1-0 lead for the Braves.
At least the pitcher hasn't gotten on base yet.
Got out of it with only one run. But they get that cheap run and the Phils just keep grounding little rollers to the infielders.
Zzzzzzzzz.
No early in the inning base runners, every one is always with two outs and the pitcher coming up, seems that way anyhow.
Gary Matthews called that one.
Top of the sixth two outs, John Mayberry comes up.
Mayberry walked first two times up and has seen a lot of pitches, Gary said it's good for him to see these pitches especially against a good pitcher like Hudson.
The Matthews said even though he only has one home run he still can hit the ball out at any time.
The next pitch, line drive home run just over the left field fence.
Good call Gary and a 2-1 Phils lead.
Morgan Freeman in the booth for the bottom of the sixth.
Leadoff walk given up by Halladay, and another cheap bloop hit for second and third again. This isn't what the ace, especially Halladay should be doing ring after the Phils get the lead.
And there is a strike out and a sac fly to tie it up.
Come Halladay that's weak.
Three outs but again, he gives up a run to let the braves tie it right after the Phils get the lead.
Rollins starts the seventh with a measly dribbler to second on the first pitch.
Another dribbler to second ends the Phils half of the seventh.
Hudson is out after the seventh.
Halladay looks annoyed, he slammed the rosin bag down because they have to wait for national tv to come out of the break.
Hudson walked 5 and he's only walked ten all season before today and Halladay just walked his second.
Seems like every time Halladay walks a guy he scores.
He didn't score.
Uggla leads off the eighth with a homer to give the Braves the 3-2 lead. And if the Phils don't score in the ninth, Halladay will get his second straight complete game loss.
Pathetic Halladay didn't pitch great game but he kept the Phils in it and Roy certainly gave them a chance to win, but four hits surrounded by five walks and they still don't muster more the 2 runs.
Just awful.
Mood is irritated because I'm getting tired of looking at this pathetic offense leave these good pitching performances be left hanging.
Loss 3-2
Streak 2 losses
Record 25-14
