Three up, three down. The key to Zagurski is that he can't be brought in with men on base. Let's face it, the guy should probably be at Triple A as it is. But that's the state of the Phillies bullpen.
As usual, I'll select the game's three stars. Feel free to chime in -- or, give me your three "bums" of the game." Whatever.
Closer Chad Cordero is coming in for the Nats.

Bums of the game - Charlie for not putting in Nunez before he did, and leaving Helms out there; Helms, for booting the grounder which led to the rally in the 8th

Two bums of the game - Charlie, for leaving Helms oput there too long, and Helms for having hands of concrete!
Thanks for the blog - it's a great way to follow the game at work

Oh, by no means did we deserve to win the game. But that was due to the ineptitude of the bullpen. If you score 3 runs and leave 10 men on base, that's an issue. If the bullpen comes in and does its job, the LOBs wouldn't mean anything, and they shouldn't when you score 5.
