The game in Philly was my first decent weather in days, and a great game made it one of the nicest baseball days I'd had all trip. The weather was 80 degrees, and although Rachael and I had driven all morning to make it to the game, we still managed to arrive 15 minutes late because of traffic in NYC due to, ironically enough, the Yankee game. We met with my old supervisor from Iraq, Phil, and his daughter for the game and I definitely enjoyed the company. It was nice being able to catch up outside of work and that environment, and it was good to see that things are going well for everyone.
The game itself was great -- two pitchers in Kendrick and Maine coming off rehab and both turned in good performances. Both bullpens gave up some runs, and Brad Lidge managed to work in a save despite giving up two runs with a three-run lead. The Phillies fans were definitely gratious for the win and seemed, for the time being, to want to support him while he struggles to regain his edge.
