Anyone else notice that the doldrums the Phillies’ bats seem to have been mired in for a couple of weeks coincided with the time that Pedro Feliz was on the DL? I did.
With Feliz adding at least a little pop to the bottom of their lineup, the Phils seem to be playing with more confidence, at least at the plate.
Feliz was the hero last night, first tying the Sunday night special with the Dodgers with a base hit in the bottom of the ninth. Then he grabbed the spotlight in the 11th by depositing a pitch in the bleachers in center-field, lifting the Phils to a 5-2 win.
It means the Phils can now return the favor of a sweep, which L.A. tattooed on them on the West Coast, with a win tonight. The Phils have won three straight against the Dodgers. They go for four tonight.
Making it even sweeter is that the Mets’ bullpen imploded once again yesterday, costing them another game. The Phils are now just a half-game back, and could pull even with a win tonight.
And guess who shows up at Citizens Bank Park tomorrow night? That’s right, those hated New Yorkers.
Credit Pedro Feliz for helping turn around the Phils’ fortunes one more time.
Yep, football season does not start for at least two more weeks.
