I heard that on the radio today and I watched the end of the game. I don't know that there was anything illegal going on but I know that he was good enough to fool the home plate umpire during Ryan Howard's last at bat. A guy who called an otherwise stellar game behind the plate rung howard up on two pitches clearly out of the strike zone and Howard was pretty upset. This is not, by the way, the reason that the Phils lost, the Rockies had to hit through the same shadows, they had the same (very consistant) umpire and they outplayed the Phils. That's why it's a five game series. I'm looking forward to getting our other youngster out there to shut down the rockies and hopefully the Phils bats can wake up in game two.

Go Phils,
