Wow that sucked. Guess they had to get it all out of their system in one night. Here's what I remember of the first inning:
Woodward tossing Rollins leadoff grounder over Delgado's head,
Milledge taking circuitous routes on every ball hit to right,
Beltran misplaying a liner right by him (turning a single into a triple),
Pedro balking with the bases loaded,
Pedro with 2 HBP's (one forcing in a run),
Delgado letting a ball one step to his right fly under his glove.
There's probably more, but I forget.
Then, moving ahead to later in the game, Willie let Oliver hang out to dry long after his tank was empty. Darren had pitched two of the last three nights and Willie tries to get 4 innings out of him to save the rest of the pen. I felt so bad for him in the 5th when guys were hitting his 80 MPH fastball out like batting practice.
Nobody hit worth a darn.
Hopefully the Phils enjoyed today, anyway.

Luckily I didn't see the game so I didn't have to sit through another performance where it sounds like we sucked at every aspect.
What's the deal with K-dro? Is his injury serious? He is the Chad Pennington of baseball - very frail, and always seems to get injured no matter how much rest he gets.
Who knows how bad his "strained calf" is. Could put him on the shelf for a month. Or it could have been a convenient excuse to come out after one inning, since he wasn't going to get a win. Plus it gave him something to blame for his performance.
