You have to feel for Jamie Moyer. He pitched his heart out but the Phillies just couldn’t put anything on the board. Three hits isn’t going to win you many ball games but the fact that the Phillies were in this game until the end goes to show how well the pitchers kept the Phillies in this one.
And it’s hard to win when your big bats don’t produce. Jimmy Rollins had the one good game and that’s it while Chase Utley and Ryan Howard were held in check.
Now we can look to the off season. The Phillies have their share of holes, and then there’s the Ryan Howard contract situation that’s looming. Although at this point, Cole Hamels might be the guy to lock up next. There will also be more Pat Burrell trade talks but we should be used to that.
Enjoy the of the playoffs. The Phillies may be done, but there’s only a couple of more weeks of baseball. I’m hoping to get in as much more as I can. Go Diamondbacks :-).

Those Rockies have taken the NL by storm and might just take the World Series too this season.
