After the loss at the hands of Matt Holliday last night, the Phillies hope to snatch a series victory from the jaws of defeat as Vance Worley takes the mound. Worley, whose last start was cut early due to a case of leftover Thai food “stomach illness”, looks to even his record to 7-7 against the awesomely-named Lance Lynn, who is 13-5 on the year. A series win at home against a tough team like the Cardinals could be a good morale boost to a team that has been beaten down as the 2012 season has dragged on.

I just want to make a note of how excellent the Vance Vs. Lance matchup is in terms of names.
Worley gives up a run on a walk and a double. 1-0 Cardinals.
Kevin Frandsen continues to prove my mancrush on him by bunting a single to first. Two on, no outs. LET’S DO THIS!
And a TRIPLE by Chase Utley gives the Phillies the lead! 2-1 Phils.
Daniel Descalso, saving our butts once again. 3-1 Phillies.
Mayberry ends it with a DP. 3-1 Phillies after one inning.
Ugh, Kratz…
3-2 Phillies.
Some awful, awful plays going on lately. It looked like at least three errors in a span of ten seconds.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand the Cardinals take the 4-3 lead.
God dammit.
Tied at 4 because Ryan Howard is awesome.
I take a nap for one hour and find the score at 7-4 Cardinals. Then ERIK KRATZ comes in and smashes a three-run homer to tie it back up again!
ERK KARTZ
How was your flight?
Also, oh no, I have to get started on that recap now. That nap really broke my timing.
Kratz needs to be the backup next season. Schneider has no use anymore. It’s not like he and Worley have had a ton of success this year.
It was easy. Not even an hour. i’ll be at the otel on the computer soon.
It’s pretty obvious I picked the wrong game this series to attend.
Also, I just realized Kratz played his high school baseball about 15 minutes from here at Christopher Dock.
Look at this! Three men in one game thread, it’s a new record!
Yeah, Telford isn’t that far from here actually. Pretty awesome to see a local
kid32-year-old get a shot at it.I think he also had a stint in the Majors with the Pirates, so he’s been a PA guy for his whole career. I just made it to the hotel.
Damnit, Kratz. But why is Jimmy bunting with nobody out?
THE JUAN AND ONLY
SERIES WIN AWW YEAH
