In case anyone forgot, the Phillies did sweep the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field yesterday. Behind another sensational performance by Cliff Lee, the Phillies brought their division lead back up to 5 games. Lee pitched 8 strong innings, allowing only one run while striking out 8. In three starts with the Phillies Cliff Lee has shown why he was the AL Cy Young Winner last season. His stats so far: 3-0 with a 1.13 ERA, 24 innings pitched, 23 Ks, and 6 BB. Plus he has 3 hits which is equal to the amount of runs he has let up.
Lee wasn’t the only highlight of the game. The Phillies brought their bats out in the series and remembered how to hit with runners in scoring position for the first time in a while. Ryan Howard hit his first home run of August and Pedro Feliz also homered to spark the Phillies in the finale.
The Phillies were able to sweep the Cubs at Wrigley for the first time in the last 25 years. The Wrigley faithful had something to say about it, trying to help out their Cubs by throwing a beer on Shane Victorino as he was trying to make a catch late in the game. Fortunately Shane kept his concentration and caught the ball while receiving a shower of beer.
After this energy boost, the Phillies traveled to Atlanta to face the division rival Braves. Tonight Joe Blanton squared off against Braves ace Jair Jurrjens, who the Phillies hadn’t scored a run against in his last two starts. After the Braves got out to a 1-0 lead, Chase Utley provided a spark for the Phillies by hitting a two run homer off of Jurrjens (his first of August) to make it 2-1 Phils.
Of course they gave one run back the next inning to tie the game at two. Both starters pitched through 7 innings as the game remained tied due to some tremendous fielding, especially by Shane Victorino, who made two sensational grabs in center field.
In the top of the 9th inning, Ryan Howard showed that he is back in the home run hitting groove, smacking a solo shot to deep center field. This gave the Phillies a 3-2 lead, and it was Howard’s 205th career home run, passing Dick Allen on the Phillies all time home run list. Not-so-lights-out Brad Lidge came into the game in the bottom of the 9th to close it out for the Phillies, who were going for their 4th win in a row, one that they sorely needed to put some more room between themselves and the Braves.
After getting the first out, Lidge allowed a base hit, then a stolen base. Brad then threw some 97 mph high heat to strike out Ryan Church. With a man on 2nd and two outs, Lidge faced the poor man’s Matt Stairs in Greg Norton, who he walked. This brought Nate McLouth to the plate for the Braves with two men on. McClouth hit a fly ball to left field that fell into the glove of Raul Ibanez, securing the win for the Phillies!

Valentin,
Thanks for being the first real person to post something for a while. I was getting so fed up with all of the spam that it kind of took a toll on me. I just got back to school and I’ve basically been trying to get myself on a schedule for the last two weeks, which is one reason why I haven’t written lately. I’ve just been too busy with other things, which is unfortunate because there has been so much going on lately. Thank you for being patient with me.

Everybody has their favourite way of using the Net. Many people search to find what we want, click in to a specific web site, read what’s available and click out. That is not always a bad thing because it’s efficient. We learn how to tune out things we do not need and go straight for what’s essential.

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

Bom dia turma, verdadeiramente ser proprietário um automóvel é trabalhoso devido ao encarecimento de algumas empresas como as de financiamento. Estas nem sempre cumprem ao contrato assinado ou tem escondidas em letras miúdas deveres que dão prejuízo ao consumidor do automóvel. O Código do Consumidor muitas vezes não protege todas as artimanhas do consumidor. Estava lendo umas experiências no http://www.carrousado.org sobre todos os passos para a compra sem ter dor de cabeça mais tarde. É só um desabafo, realmente está difícil fazer uma boa compra.
