Lidge gets save 94. Ties Tugger at 4th on the Phils all-time save list. Phils win...2 games up in the NL East. First time since May.
Not much run support for King tonight, but it was just enough for yet another win for the club. 12-2 in the last 14 road games for they boys, with Halladay on the hill tomorrow.
Nats beat the Braves again this afternoon. Phils can take a 3 game lead with a win tonight. It would be great if we could get a 4 games or more lead before going to Atlanta. **********Automerged Doublepost********** Phils cruising 9-2 in the 6th inning. It appears the Big Three, H2O, whatever you want to call them are about to be a combined 9-0 in September.
Why is Lidge in with a 6 run lead in the 9th? He pitched last night. **********Automerged Doublepost********** The need to pull Lidge with a 6 run lead in the 9th sucks, but Phils sweep the Fish. Halladay didn't have a great game, but becomes the NL's first 19 game winner. 2 starts against the Braves and 1 against the Mets down the stretch to hit 20 wins. 3 game lead over the Braves!
3 game lead. Could you imagine that we would be 3 games up less than 2 months after being down 7 games. We fought for that, getting it down to 1, and back up to 3 as late as 2 weeks ago, WOW this team has heart. It would be sweet if we could smash the nats and get some love from the muts taking out the braves a couple of games. If SF wins tonight and tomorrow, then they would be tied with ATL for the Wildcard. Atlanta is on the verge of a major collapse.

Giants win and are 1/2 game behind the Braves. Giants play tomorrow while Braves watch on the edge of their seats.
It was hard keeping up with the team while on vacation. Thank goodness for MLB app. Can't wait to finally WATCH another game on tv. It's been a whole week!
Between the Braves and the Giants, there would be a tiebreaker game October 4th (if the Giants don't win the division) in Atlanta b/c the Braves won the series against the Giants 4 games to 3.
