Ok

Well that was a little less painful to watch. Nothing to celebrate though. We're still in a hole, but as Jayson Werth so wonderfully put it, "we got nothin to lose. we're headin back to our stadium, with our fans, where we like to play. it was a battle to get back there. so we're gonna hop on the bird tonight, day off tomorrow, and we'll be ready to play." (photoshop to come...)

By the way, Halladay injured his groin in the second inning in that long at bat by Cody Ross. So that explains some of his human qualities last night, but hopefully he's ok.

Also, lemme just say our bullpen has been a rock this series. My boy Contreras is chillin hard, chompin on that tobacco. Madson looked phenomenal, striking out those three bums in the ninth. Nothing soothes the soul like a classic Burrell wiff for another team. And only Bernie saves more than Brad.

Big question going into game 6 is Roy Oswalt coming off those 2ish innings of relief in game 4. Will that limit his start (comment below)? Also, I like Cholly sticking with the OG lineup. As said before, my favorite (and sometimes least favorite) quality of our skipper is his loyalty.

But we'll see you all tomorrow at 3:30 in South Philly. DEFEND THE BANK

PHUCK GROINS, LOVE PHILLY
