Recap
CLE 1 | PHI 2

W - Jamie Moyer
L - Mitch Talbot (7-6)
7 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 3 BB, 3 K
S - Brad Lidge

Story.. Mitch Talbot pitches well... Old as dirt Jamie Moyer pitches better, gives up a few hits..

JC Romero puts two on, Brad Lidge comes on and strikes two out.

Rusticle Branyan hits home run.

Uh Kerry Wood randomly pitches the eighth... What if the Indians came back in the top of the ninth and needed a closer in the bottom of the ninth? That's my puzzling question.

But that is the story. Moyer gave up a walk and two hits. Mitch-sir didn't pitch bad, pitched well actually...

Ya win some, ya lose... lots.
