If I was to tell you that the Phils would win two of three against the Yankees, you might have waited for the wink, something to indicate I was joking.
It’s not joke.
Not only that, but the only game they lost was with Roy Halladay on the mound. That's right. Halladay got roughed up, and the Phils were bailed out by successive strong outings by the odd couple, Jamie Moyer and Kyle Kendrick.
Last night it was Kendrick’s turn to dazzle the Bombers. He went seven strong innings, allowing just one run on four hits.
In the meantime, the Phils enjoyed a continued rebirth at the plate, rapping out 10 hits on their way to a 7-1 win.
Now they return to Citizens Bank Park. Have they turned the corner, shaken off the doldrums that seem to have settled in on them just about all season.
They also should get their sparkplug, shortstop Jimmy Rollins, back this weekend.
In the meantime, it’s quite the sports weekend. It starts this morning with the U.S. back in action at the World Cup, this time against Slovenia. I’d like to have a photog and reporter take in the action with a group of Delco soccer fanatics.
And remember to pick up a Sunday copy of the Daily Times for a special report on PPL Park, the new soccer stadium on the Chester waterfront that will be home to the Philadelphia Union of Major League Soccer, including a full-page graphic with everything you need to know about the facility.
And finally, if it’s Father’s Day weekend, it must be time for the U.S.
Open. This year it’s being competed on the hallowed ground of Pebble Beach.
You know who usually plays very well there. But Tiger Woods is five shots back after Day 1. He’s 5 shots back at 3 over.
And he displayed a little classic Tiger Tantrum on the 18th green.
Temper, temper, Tiger.
