"Every loss hurts, but I mean, we had the lead and [Bergmann] was pitching very good and we thought we had a very good chance today to snap out of it."
(Manny Acta, via Washington Post, 8/19/2008)
Phillies 5, NAAAts 4: ...and the beat goes on, Nationals clinch losing season. Eleven in a row, but who's counting?
Don't pin this one on Bergmann's botched sac bunt in sixth; he did his job.
Meanwhile...
- The miracle of Jesus: he really was day-to-day!
- How about letting Kearns rediscover his stroke on the bench?
- Philly Boo-birds love Jimmy Rollins. BeerLeaguer calls it a 50-50 Boo-to-Yay split.
- Casto back to AAA.
- FLop is having fun in StL.
