Daily Recap: My Hero! :)

The Phillies won!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Nationals lost.

More Details...

Who is my hero you say? Well, since I just started this blog you might not know. One word: CHOOOOOCH! Love him! The return of Carlos Ruiz tonight was a good as planned, even though he was not in the starting line-up. When I checked my iPod and the Phillies were losing 3-1, at first I thought, "Oh darn!", then I saw the situation. Runner on second, two outs, nothing big to be hopeful for. Then I saw the batter: Chooch. A glitter of hope! I check back five minutes later and the game is tied and I went crazy. Chooch is now officially my hero. If he wasn't before, which he kinda was!
Jimmy Rollins had a good night tonight, but he's still hitting only .239. The final score was 10-6, that's good. Raul Valdes finally gave up runs, but pitched so many innings before his ERA is only 3.00. That's pretty much all that happened.

Nationals didn't do much again, besides get swept by the red-hot Marlins (who play in Philly this weekend, UGH!) Roger Bernadina and Danny Espinosa were all over the scoring report, the only other one involved was Adam LaRoche.
If you look in the dictionary under ON FIRE, PURE POWER and probably a few other things, you'll probably see this picture:

                                            This is Giancarlo Stanton. He may not be human :)
All I can say is I hope Kyle Kendrick intentionally walks him every AB and then Cole Hamels cools him down.
As today is an off day for both teams, I have more time to work on somting other than daily recaps. I think I'll explore something I like to call the Glavis Dilemma. You'll see what I mean.
Ciao!
