Phillies 3, Braves 2
« on: July 08, 2011, 11:28:33 PM »
Just finished listening to the game.  What was interesting about it is that relief pitcher Juan Perez, who has bounced around the major and minor leagues (mostly the minors) for a while, won his first-ever major league game at age 32.  He struck out the side on nine pitches in the top of the 10th.  Then Raul Ibanez hit a walk-off homer in the bottom of the inning.  Cool.

We are so far past and beyond the “long train of abuses and usurpations” that the Colonists and Founders experienced and which necessitated the Revolutionary War that they aren’t even visible in the rear-view mirror.

And it's always good to beat your nearest division rival!
