The hope was that he was traded. No such like.
Instead we get Kendrick in his place.
Surprisingly he has pitched decent this year, but not tonight.
First the hi-lite for the fans was when Cliff Lee came in to pinch hit for Kendrick and received a standing ovation just for that.
The Hi-light for the Rockies was Jason Giambi playing for Todd Helton because he had a cranky back.
Giambi comes in 0-17 and hitting .115.
So just to rub it in he hits three consecutive home runs starting in the first inning.
A three run shot and 2 two run shots.
Giambi is now one of Four players over 40 years old to hit three in a game.
Babe Ruth, Stan Musial and Reggie jackson are the others.
His seven rbi's matches the total for the Phils over the last 7 games or so.
I keep watching because I really like to watch a ball game but it's getting tougher every game.
You can't help have the feeling the game was over after Giambi knocked in three in the first inning.
Mood is I'm getting worried as this is getting serious now. In the eighth inning they are out hit 14-4.
They need to do something and I guess they can't trade Blanton now with that bad elbow.
Loss 7-1
Streak 1 loss
1-5 last 6 games
record 26-17
