Yes Jarrod Washburn got the save on Wednesday. With all the bullpen craziness going on in the majors lately it would be reasonable to assume that this was just part of the trend. Instead, it is completely the opposite.

You still have to pull for Pat Burrell. The guy has been nothing short of awesome in his tenure in Philadelphia and I for one wish him all the luck and success in the world, as long as it doesn't directly affect the Phillies' chances of repeating as World F*cking Champions.
