Midnight’s Children

The Phillies jumped out in front of the Pirates 6-0 last night and then held on for a 6-5 win in Pittsburgh. Chris Coste led the offense with 3 hits and 3 RBI’s batting out of the 5 hole while Jayson Werth hit his 5th homer of the season. Adam Eaton started for the Phillies and went 3-2/3 innings before making his normal early exit. He just does not have what it takes to be a pitcher in the major leagues. He needs to be sent to the minors or better yet released so another team can put up with his lousy pitching. Tom Gordon got the win to even his record at 2-2 while Brad Lidge pitched a scoreless 9th inning to get his 6th save of the season. So far so good with Lidge as the closer for the Phillies. He seems to be in good form and has basically thrown perfect relief as the closer. He still has a 0.00 ERA and it is now the end of April.
