It is the second game in Philadelphia after yesterday's stunning news.
We have lost six in a row.
Today the Phillies are pitching Juan Guzman (8-4, 3.47).
The Giants have Rick Sutcliffe (3-9, 4.08).
I am hitting eighth. Ridiculous.
I led off the 3rd by grounding out to Randy Milligan at 1st.
I returned the favour on a Milligan grounder for the 2nd out in the bottom of the inning.
I next came up with one out in the 5th and I flew out to Mike Greenwell in left.
I then came up in the 7th, with none out, Craig Grebeck on 3rd, and Timothy McKercher on 2nd. I scored Craig with a sac fly.
Giants lead 1-0
Thanks went our way in the 8th.

Giants lead 5-0
With two out and a man on, Matt brought in Mike Perez.
He got the 3rd out.
Then Jeff Russell came on for the 9th.
I caught a Jeff Carter liner for the 1st out.
Two batters later, Joe Girardi hit a two run homer.
We won, 5-2.
I went 0 for 3 with a sac fly, RBI.
