Phillies lose 7-5. Magic number still at 4. Not in panic mode yet, but definitely not at ease.
Walking on the beach in Brigantine, NJ. That’s Atlantic City in the picture. http://pic.gd/c4faf
Phillies hold on for a 6-5 win to reduce their magic number for clinching NL East to 3!
Fell asleep on Phillies game…hate when I do that. But I like waking up to a 9-4 win. Phils’ magic number for clinching NL East now at 4.
On my way to the office in Trenton.
YES’ Michael Kay just said A-Rod has only 2 HRs to 2nd deck in LF…uh, Phillies’ Jayson Werth was first to do it. http://bit.ly/CncYs
Oh boy…Cliff Lee not off to a great start tonight…Brewers with a 4-run first inning.

Oof. Prince Fielder hits a 3-run HR in 5th. Brewers 7, Phillies 2 - B 5th
So the Phillies score 2 runs in 4th on 2 Milwaukee errors…Phils still don’t have a hit in the game. Brewers 4, Phillies 2 - BOT 4th
Uh oh…Red Sox Nation not happy right now. Down goes Lester.
Phillies lose 8-4 to Brewers. Magic number for clinching NL East title remains at 4.
Trevor Hoffman comes on and gets Matt Stairs and Jimmy Rollins out on pop-ups. Phillies down to last out, down 4.
Brad Lidge comes on in the 8th for the Phillies to protect a 5-run deficit. ;-)
Well, Phillies get 1st 2 men on in 9th, down 8-4…Trevor Hoffman coming on for the Brewers.
And, of course, Brad Lidge allows an RBI single. Brewers 8, Phillies 2 - B 7th (I said 8th before, losing focus on this game.)
In about an hour, I’ll be on a train to New Brunswick, NJ, for a meeting.
I very much agree…RT @PasteMagazine: Why Genesis deserves an induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame http://bit.ly/dOM1w

Damn! My Paul Bako fandom has shot way up in this game!
J.A. Happ’s night is done with 2 outs and 2 on in bottom of the 6th…Phillies have an 8-2 lead.
Phillies split DH at Florida, Braves beat the Mets…Phillies’ magic number for clinching 3rd straight NL East title down to 5.
Working from home today and watching Lehigh Valley-based WFMZ for work reasons…but just found out “Get Smart” is on right now. Awesome.
RAUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLL Ibanez homers in the 6th to tie it up. Phils 3, Marlins 3.
Atlanta Braves manager Bobby Cox to retire after 2010 season, then move into advisory role with team. http://bit.ly/3RAa6K
The Big Piece strikes again…Ryan Howard blasts a 2-run HR to put the Phillies up 6-3 in the 7th.
Cole Hamels gives himself the lead with an RBI single. Phillies 4, Marlins 3 - Top 6th
Brad Lidge may have gotten a break on that 3-2 pitch to Baker, but I’ll take it. Marlins w/ tying run at 3rd & 2 outs in 9th.
Wow! And now Lidge throws a 1-1 pitch right down the middle & it’s called a ball. The 2-1 pitch is low & called a strike. WTF?
Marlins have 1st & 3rd now with 2 outs in the 9th. Phillies up 6-5. Come on, Lidge.
Ugh. Lidge blows his 11th save of season as Cantu delivers a game-tying RBI single. Winning run now at 3rd for Marlins, 2 outs in 9th.
Grrr. Brad Lidge gives up game-winning single on an 0-2 pitch. Marlins 7, Phillies 6 - FINAL. Phils’ NL East magic number holds at 5.
Back in southern Chester County, Pa., doing some research for work.
Switching it up this week…going into the Trenton office today and home tomorrow. Need to wrap up an assignment in a couple of hours.
Hearing strange sounds coming from within the walls here at the office…small animals? signs of imminent building collapse?
E-A-G-L-E-S! EAGLES! Kolb! D-Jax!
Saints convert 2 Eagles turnovers early in 3rd qtr into 2 TDs to go up 31-13. Ugh.
Eagles down 34-20 early in the 4th quarter. Jets with the ball up 16-9 on Patriots midway through the 4th quarter.
J-E-T-S! JETS! JETS! JETS! 1:02 left to play and Jets stop Patriots on 4th down to take over on downs. Jets win 16-9!
Since Eagles suck in 2nd half and Phillies are in rain delay…J-E-T-S! JETS! JETS! JETS!
Phillies beat Atlanta, 4-2, to reduce their magic number for clinching 3rd straight NL East title to 6.
Too bad there are only 4 Bobby’s Burger Palaces…great burgers, shakes & sweet potato fries…nice concept, design. Need more of these.
