dayton is not in ohio

“It was extraordinary for something like this to happen to us,” Dodgers manager Grady Little said. “But at least nobody got injured.” I’m not quite sure what he meant by this, but he’s referring to the Phillies’ 26 hit, 15 - 3 wasting of the NL West leading Dodgers last night.

My dad told me he heard a recent quote from a ballplayer that the difference between Philadelphia fans and everybody else is that when when Philadelphians throw bottles onto the field, they break the neck off first. Perhaps if Dodgers fans were as ‘passionate’ as those from Philadelphia, then he’d have something to worry about.

But speaking of feasts and famines, here are the final scores of the last five Phillies games: W 13 - 3, W 10 - 4, L 2 - 10, L 3 - 10, W 15 - 3. Make all of these losses and they look more like me playing Ping-Pong at Dupont Ping-Pong arena, than consecutive baseball scores.
