Things Happening Right Now

Right now, the Phillies are playing the Nationals.  The Phillies are losing 5-1, with blog hero Roy Halladay on the mound.

Hunter Pence was up last inning with runners on second and third.  There were two outs.  He's our cleanup hitter right now, and since May 11, he is 1-21 with runners in scoring position.  That's a .048 average, which is really not good.  I didn't need to tell you that, obviously.

Roy Halladay has not been himself.  I cannot figure it out.  He is either losing it, or he is hurt.  It's hard to think of Halladay losing his pitching mojo, but he isn't getting any younger. He has given up three homers in this game versus the Nats tonight.  Very un-Halladay-esque.  On the flip side, Stephen Strasburg is sort of like how Halladay was in his younger years.  Dominant with stuff that is close to unhittable.

Finally, I am showing this card of Shane Victorino because it is cool.  That is all.

I am not used to the Phillies losing and I don't like it.  No, I'm not whining, I am being real!
