J.A. Happ takes the mound in prime time for the Phillies and the Braves throw Javier Vazquez out there. Will Happ continue to shine? Will we have to suffer through another Lidge outting?

Just waiting out the rain delay. Does anyone else feel like they are having a World Series hangover? I havent been to a game yet this year after seeing game 5 of last year and I really dont feel like i'm missing much. Is that bad?

Can't get any more down the center of the plate with that pitch to Howard. Nice Homerun. What a long ass rain delay too.

Diaz ties it for the Braves, 1-1 top of the 5th.

Joe Morgan makes me vomit on myself.

The tomahawk chop? Still?

Howard is heating up boy! He just went yard for the 2nd time tonight and 30th of the season.

4-1 Phils in the 6th.

Vazquez should really try to get it out of the center of the plate. Nice to see Howard knocking a few out.
