That’s why they call them The Bombers.
And the beat (down) goes on for the Phillies. Last night not even Roy Halladay could bail them out.
Instead the ace surrendered three home runs as the Yankees won the first of three games at Yankee Stadium, 8-3.
Halladay went six innings, and gave up six earned runs on eight hits. It was pretty clear he was not entirely happy with umpire Lance Barksdale’s strike zone, but after the game Halladay simply said he has to pitch better.
You have to figure last night was the game the Phillies were hoping to take. They had their ace going for them. They were hoping Halladay would set the tone for the series. Instead he got outdueled by CC Sabathia.
Tonight Jamie Moyer takes the mound. He did not make it out of the second inning in his last outing Friday night against the Red Sox.
The Phils are looking increasingly like a team that needs some kind of shock therapy to jolt them out of their lethargy.
Ruben Amaro Jr. is the man with his hand on the switch.
It might be time to pull it.
