dayton is not in ohio

I was able to catch a Phillies (versus the Chicago White Sox) game last night with Rob Matthews, and it was not disappointing. Adam Eaton got the shutout win and Pat Burrell, Ryan Howard and Jimmy Rollins scored the three Phillies runs on solo homers. On the Howard shot, the right fielder didn’t move a muscle after the ball came off the bat. He just watched it go up, and then dropped his head. A no-doubter, even from the cheap seats where it’s always hard to judge a ball. Crushed. I listen to the Phillies on the (internet) radio for almost every game, so it was great to finally see them play in the flesh on a beautiful Philly night, and to be treated to a win.
