Golf: no. Great pitcher's duel at Shea: yes, after I went to bed. Terry Adams getting his pink slip: I hope so.
Obviously, I missed the whole thing. It started raining as I left work, and it was far too cold and windy anyway to hit the little white ball. The game was on Rain Delay (a gripping Fran Healy interview with the immortal...Gary Sheffield?) until I packed it in at 9 PM, ailing from pollen overload. It looks like Lieber left after six innings with the score tied 1-1. Manuel called on the only righty he had left after yesterday who could pitch middle relief, The Thing, Terry Adams. As many other Phillies bloggers have wondered, why does Ed Wade keep giving guys like this second and third chances? He bombed out in Boston, failing to make their playoff roster, but now somehow he's good enough for the Phillies. Well, good enough for Carlos Beltran to smack a three-run shot to deep right off of him. Nice job in talent evaluation, boys. The Phillies never recovered, and lost 5-1.
Tonight it's Brett Myers vs. Tom Glavine. If we're lucky, Glavine will be too concerned with Bud Selig's latest steroids plan to concentrate on the game.
