As the hopelessly inane John Sterling likes to say, "baseball's a funny game." There is no greater example of this than last night's game between the Phillies and the Yankees. Coming of an absolute whipping of Roy Halladay, the Yankees found themselves unable to solve 47 year-old Jamie Moyer (who I'm pretty sure is the result of some sort of black magic), who was coming off his worst start in his long career. Meanwhile, AJ Burnett was unable to get through three innings, giving up 6 runs.
Yet less you think this was a turn around game for the struggling Phillies offense, think again. Because after Burnett left the game, they were actually no-hit by Boone Logan and Chad Gaudin, of all people. Still the early outburst against AJ was more than enough to propel the Phils to a 6-3 lead. The rubber game of this World Series re-match is tonight, with Andy Petitte (another ageless wonder) taking the hill against Kyle Kendrick.
