Phillies 3, Braves

Game 110 – Tuesday
Night, August 7th in Philadelphia
Record - 50-60, 4th Place, 17 games behind the Nationals
What It Means: The
season is a bust, but games like this make me happy.
What Went Right: Hamels
needed 111 pitches to complete his latest masterpiece, his first win since
signing his massive contract extension a few weeks ago. He struck out six and allowed just five
Braves hits. Ryan Howard provided most
of the offense, with a two-run home run in the first. Domonic Brown knocked in the other run,
doubling home Jimmy Rollins, who had himself doubled to start the
ballgame. Brown also had a nice outfield
assist in the fifth, throwing out Brian McCann at second on the Phillie
Killer’s attempt to stretch a single.
Featured Card:
If the Bowman Platinum set is released in the woods, and no one hears it, does it make a sound? I was recently perusing the items that came up on eBay when searching for "2012 Phillies Set," and I was slightly surprised to see the Bowman Platinum Phillies team set appear. (I had no idea this set was being released again this year.) Being the obsessive collector I am, I clicked Buy It Now and the set arrived in the mail a few days later. This set does nothing for me. It's shiny, but there's no new ground being broken here. Yet into the 2012 Phillies binder it goes.
