The weather in Philadelphia, however, did not. Damn that crap was nasty.
When I saw the flags doing that during pre-game, I predicted there would be at least two Brad Hawpe misplays in right field. Hawpe obliged with one. But it’s Carlos Gonzalez who stole Hawpe’s defensive blunder thunder with this complete mess in the 5th inning.

Yes, we know this series is already 1-0 in favor of the Phillies, but I can promise that the following preview was written before that game.
