Quick Stains: Phillies Phodder for June 6th

For two nights in a row, the Phillies were the team to beat in the NL East. J-Roll, our fearless leader, had his BPAS in full swing with a tremendous three-run shot to right field. For his heroic effort, which also included a 6-3 inning ending double play in the bottom of the seventh with the bases juiced, Jimmy receives the unsloppiest performance of the night.

Additionally, our three-headed Doc Brown dimension transcending bullpen of Geoff Geary, Ryan Madson, and the octopus-fingered Antonio Alfonseca, showed up yet again (they receive an honorable mention for un-sloppiest performance), and despite Geary doing his darnedest to make the game so much harder to watch by booting a ball that a tee-ball player could have fielded with his eyes blind-folded, they were victorious. That little pebble of an error could have turned into a multiple-run avalanche, but Geary pulled himself together and I applaud that effort, and that of the bullpen, as from that point forward as they preserved (wait for it…) a one run lead! prior to Rowand’s RBI single in the top of the eighth. Geary, however, receives the game’s sloppiest play award for his dinky error (I can’t give him sloppiest performance as he made up for it with the double play).
