Rain delay.

The Rain came down hard out of nowhere.

It was funny watching the grounds crew to no avail try and pull the tarp over the entire infield.

They finally gave up and un did the whole thing to try and get the water off it.

At one point while they were trying to get it over the 3rd base line a fan came onto the field and started trying to help pull it....and they arrested him

You'd think that in Philly the rain patrol would be a little more efficient than those clowns were.......what a joke......but it was entertaining......I'm so glad channel 4 didn't go away and we got to watch them flounder

[HollywoodLeo]

I still think it was lame that they arrested the fan that came down to try and help.

[padrefanforever]

That was lame........it wasn't as if he was causing a problem.....he was trying to help the problem......they should have just escorted him back to his seat and gone about covering the field.......

[Rufio181]

Great, we're making another washout pitcher look like an All-Star.

Great, we're making another washout pitcher look like an All-Star.

All Star pitchers generally do not give up 2 run HRs to the opposing pitcher

[Rufio181]

Oh doctor! Peavy and a home run!

[Rufio181]

Nice try Burrell

[Rufio181]

Greene homers to double the lead!

[padrefanforever]

Greene's 1st half #'s are pretty damn solid minus the BA, which can always go up.............I would like to say I've been less than please with his defense so far this year.....what's up with all the errors in his 3rd season ? This should be his break out year.....right ?

[HollywoodLeo]

his defense has been somewhat bad....for him.

Really, though, he's always been known to make the occasional error here and there (haven't looked at the numbers to see if they're up or down, however)

People see the flashy amazing plays and that makes the error here and there stand out that much more, because you grow to not expect that out of someone who otherwise seems to be amazing with the glove.

Ozzie Smith routinely had a handful of errors a year as well.

[padrefanforever]

It was always the occasional error going to the right or left.....but I sure don't remember the routine boots....

[HollywoodLeo]

I recall some routine boots.

I just looked it up and through 81 games he has 7 errors.

He had 14 last year and 20 the year before.

So if he matches his 1st half "production" and has 7 more to end the year he'll finish the year with the same number of errors he did last year.
