Austin Kearns leading off with dangerous lefty Nick Johnson on deck to pinch hit for Aaron Boone.
A 2-2 fastball that home plate umpire Brian O'Nora squeezed Gordon on. Not a good omen.
Gordon fools Kearns with a nasty curve ball. That IS a good omen. Football cornerbacks and baseball relievers better have short memories.
Johnson drills a single off the glove of a diving Chase Utley.
The linescore for each team: Washington 7-14-0, Phillies 7-14-4
A walk to Belliard leads to a visit from pitching coach Rich Dubee. After a flyout, Gordon issues another walk. Bases juiced for pinch-hitter Willie Harris.
Never a doubt. Harris grounds out, Howard to Gordon (another adventure altogether). If this thing goes extra innings, Clay Condrey almost certainly would pitch the 10th.
My scorecard is a mess. I think Jenkins is leading off for the Phils.

I don't know if I can take a whole year of watching Flash...maybe they can open a Pepcid station next to the crab fries stand.
