The beat goes on for the Phillies. Or maybe that should be beatings.
Everything seems to be working against the World Champs when they play at Citizens Bank Park these days. Now ever the weather is turning against them. You could call it misery reigns.
The Phils got flogged again last night at a soggy Citizens Bank Park.
The Blue Jays posted four runs in the top of the first against aging Jamie Moyers and never looked back, cruising to a 7-1 win.
It continues the improbably struggles of the defending World Champs on their home turf.
The Phils are now 13-18 in South Philly. Last night’s loss means they lost another series as well. They have won only two series at home, both of those against the lowly Nationals.
In fact, the Phils might want to get down on their knees and thank the baseball gods for the Nats. They’re 5-1 against D.C. at the Bank, against everyone else they’re now a paltry 8-17.
Last night was over before most fans could find their seats. Not a good night for Moyer, who after several solid starts in a row, last night looked every bit the 46-year-old junkballer. He gave up six runs on 10 hits in going his usual six innings and change.
The Phils’ offense was once again missing in action. Continuing their recent trend, they fanned more than folks at a packed graduation ceremony without air conditioning.
A fairly unknown hurler names Scott Richmond struck out 11 Phils in eight innings. The Phils whiffed 10 times the night before.
They’re supposed to finish off this series in a Businessperson’s Special this afternoon. Mother Nature might have something to say about that.
The way the Phils are going about their business at Citizens Bank Park these days, a rainout might not be the worst thing that could happen to them.
