All That Awaits Phillies Is Chilled Bubbly
by Jay MariottiFiled under: MLBPHILADELPHIA -- The radar-gun readings were frightening, like something from an I-95 speed chase between the cops and a fugitive. Take this 101-mile-per-hour fastball, said Jonathan Broxton. Or how about this smoke at a mere 99? Or 98, 96, a slider at...
Jimmy!
Matt Stairs seems to be Jonathan Broxton's kryptonite. Down to their final three outs heading into the bottom half of the ninth, the Phillies chances looked bleak. Broxton got Ibanez to ground out but then quickly walked Matt Stars and hit Carlos Ruiz. This team, never one to give...

I'm going to be honest: There wasn't a single point during last night's game, until Ben Francisco gloved the last out, that I thought the Phillies were going to win. You would think I would have learned by now with this team, but I just wasn't optimistic. Even though...
