Jamie Moyer deserved better

What the hell happened to the Phillies? Aren't they supposed to be the NL answer to the Yankees and Red Sox juggernaut?

Aren't they supposed to be a dynasty in the making?

Don't the know they have Jamie Moyer pitching tonight, sitting on 267 wins... a mere 33 wins from a trip to Cooperstown?

He pitched well... 6 innings, 1 earned run, 8 strikeouts versus the lowly Pirates.

But the mighty Phillies managed NO runs off of Ross Ohlendorf! Going into tonight's game he was tied with ME for wins.

Come on Phils!
You've got an unlikely uniform to retire and Hall of Fame ticket to punch. Let's get on the ball. You can't blame EVERYTHING on Chase Utley's injury!

What was so hard about that?

Tonight was just what this Red Sox fan ordered.

A nice blowout win. Good pitching. Good hitting. Even a turn back the clock home run from Mike Lowell.

I feel bad for Jamie Moyer, whose Hall of Fame candidacy is looking less and less insane, but a nice old fashioned ass whuppin from the Sox made for a very calm drive home tonight.

And a nice performance by John Lackey against a contender didn't hurt either.

Win one of the next two... win the series... and make it easy like tonight.
