May 8, 2009 Phillies 13, Braves 10



Who the hell would ever think that in a game with a 13-1 lead after two innings that the tying run for the opponents would come to bat in the 9th inning!!

In one of the craziest games I have had, it was in two stages. First, ater a Yuniel Escobar homer in the first inning puts the Braves in front 1-0, Chase Utley and Ryan Howard go back-to-back in the bottom of the 1st for the 3-1 Phillie led. Then the floodgates open as the Phils score 10 runs in the 2nd inning off of 4 Braves pitchers for the seemingly insurmountable 13-1 lead after 2 innings. Then came stage two - the Phillies would not score the remainder if the game, while the Braves peck away off a tiring Cole Hamels for 3 runs in the 7th and a total of 6 runs. That ends Hamels day, Jack Trashner goes an inning unscathed but the Braves get four runs in the 9th off of Scott Eyre and Chad Durbin and bring the tying run to the plate before Dave Ross strikes out to end the game.

Defensive replacements almost doomed the Phils today as with the lopsided score there were plenty as by the time the game ended only two players (Raul Ibanez and Pedro Feliz) were still in the game at the positions where they started at. Normal catcher Chris Coste made an error at first base in the 9th with that runner scoring, and right fielder Matt Stairs with his 5 rating let a ball get past him in the 9th for a double. Not all their fault though with the four homers given up by the Phillie pitchers including two 2-run homers in the 9th and Chipper Jones had 2 homers for the day for Atlanta.

Too much to try to fully explain, so the play account follows the box score.

Atlanta had a chance to come back in the 9th but they came up short.  
 
The win went to Cole Hamels(2-2) who allowed 6 runs in 6 innings. Jo-Jo
Reyes(0-4) was the loser.  He pitched 1 and 1/3 innings giving up 6 hits and
