Just walked into the dining room to get a diet coke when I caught one of the attendants singing “Strangers In the Night…”
Do be do be do…
Meanwhile, the old-timer Jamie Moyer had a relatively quick inning for a change. In sitting down the heart of the Nationals’ order, Moyer used just 10 pitches.
Perhaps he’s settling in?
In addition to a packed house in the seating area, the press box is stuffed, too. In fact, a writer two with no paper on Sunday turned out to properly describe the action of the local nine. And from what I have heard, Scott Lauber is also offering live updates on his site.
It’s Scott’s birthday so go check it out.
If you decide just to stay here, I’ll tell you that Scott is probably writing about how Chase Utley appears to be finding his swing again. Utley picked up a leadoff single and dashed to third when Ryan Howard followed with another single.
Utley scored the first run of the game when Pat Burrell lifted a sacrifice fly to right and then Howard came in to make it 2-0 when Carlos Ruiz also hit a sacrifice fly to right field.
Call those productive outs… do it.
Moyer walked with two outs to re-load the bases, but Jimmy Rollins could not break it open off John Lannan.
Nevertheless, the scoreboard has been dented. Is it enough for Moyer?
End of 4: Phillies 2, Nats 0
