... but nothing to worry about. Even Christine was more at ease as the Phillies beat the Nationals 8-4. Although she was probably on her best behavior because we had a friend over for most of the evening.
I'll admit it got a little tense as the Nats chipped away and the Phillies bats scored just one run after the 2nd inning, but as I've said all week: Everything is under control.
Tonight, Ryan Howard drove home that point with a 1st inning three-run homer. Chase Utley even remembered what that piece of wood he's been holding all summer is used for (3-3 with three runs and three RBIs). Joe Blanton, betrayed by his defense, muddled through six innings for the win.
The magic number that Christine has been counting down for weeks is now at one, as the Mets lost to the Marlins. And, even more good news, the Brewers beat the Cubs, so they're further from the bear than the Mets, who could officially be eaten tomorrow if they lose and the Brewers win.
Red Sox: They're losing big time to the Yankees in a rain-delayed contest, and for the first time in my life, I really don't care.
