Madson is staying in to start the inning. Jayson Werth replaced Burrell in left. Had Coste gotten on, Madson would have been lifted for Werth, who was on deck. Let's see what the baseball gods have in mind for the Phils today. They usually don't look favorably on teams that commit four errors and strand runners late in the game.
A leadoff walk and a one-out single has the anxiety level ratcheted up. J.C. Romero is coming in to face pinch-hitter Paul Lo Duca.
Lo Duca popped out, but Guzman singled through the right side to tie it. The run is charged to Madson.
Milledge with an infield single when Feliz makes a nice play to stop a grounder, but hesitated slightly. He looked at second, before throwing way late to first. He did save the run by keeping the ball in the infield. Bases juiced.
Romero gets the dangerous Ryan Zimmerman to ground out to end the inning. Two hours, 45 minutes and we're right back to where we started. Eric Bruntlett will pinch hit to lead off the bottom of the inning.

am I wrong or is this a similiar situation that Charlie didn't want to have JC in on Monday. Top of the lineup against "all those righties who have high averages against left handed pitchers". JC out gordon in....you know the rest of the story.

the motto of USMC should be the motto of the phillies fans.....you need the same ability to withstand pain to some degree and learn to like it no matter what happens ....give that game ball to shane v
