G41: Philadelphia 10, Red Sox 5

Bah. Work took me away from the second half of the game, which was just as well.

Lenny DiNardo surrendered a walk and five hits to open the third. Abe Alvarez got out of that mess, then pitched the fourth and fifth, but gave up a double, single and three-run home run to start the sixth, giving Philly a 8-3 lead.

When Rudy Seanez was your most effective pitcher, you know it wasn't a good day.

As I mentioned comments during the game, David Wells had a good outing for Pawtucket (5-4-2-1-3, 65 pitches). He says he is ready to go on Friday.

The Phillies series is over, but I did want to mention the Philliesflow blog.

And tonight, let's go, Mets!

    well, he didn't surprise me -- though pitching on 13 days rest is not the best circumstances for success.

    Wells's rehab start today: 5 innings, 4 hits, 2 runs, 1 walk, 3 strikeouts; 66 pitches (45 strikes).

    Looks good to me.

    Seems very likely that Lenny and Abe will go when Wells and Riske return.

    lol @ 'flat-billed platypus'.

    in defense of lenny, i thought he made some good pitches up until the 3rd. although there were obvious pitches he made mistakes on that the philly hitters missed, but still.
    he just needs to get that breaking ball down, cause a few of them looked really good i thought.

    I'm not a DiNardo apoligist, but then I'm not an apoligist for all the commenters here in the last few days, except for Yaz-tex, who needs no apoligist.

    But Jack, at the current won/lost percentage, we're looking at 98.8 wins for the season, which puts you up by a theoretical 200 points, cum dollars, with a long way to go with questionable pitching, of which I bet on. Hope I'm wrong.

    Say Clement reverts to form, a chocker in tight games, of which there will be many, and Beckett, never the ace he has been made out to be, reverts to form, a mere 55% winner, and Schillling continues to give up the long ball because . . . and Wake continues to get no run support . . . well, it ain't far from .610 to .555.

    you can count on skill, but you can't count on luck.

    Yeah, it's true. If everything goes wrong and everyone sucks, the Red Sox won't win games.
