Ed Wade fleeced the Phillies

The Roy Oswalt era didn't get off to a thrilling start - five runs (four earned) in six innings in an 8-1 loss to the Nationals.

By the way, how come I haven't seen this factoid hammered home a million times: Through age 31, the pitcher most similar to Oswalt is Roy Halladay. Too bad this Roy didn't pitch like the good Roy tonight.

J.A. Happ, meanwhile, pitched six shutout innings against the Brewers in his Astros debut.

What does all of this mean? The Phillies should have kept Cliff Lee.

{And J.A. Happ.}

The Red Sox trail the Tigers 6-1 in the 9th. Jon Lester pitched like Roy Oswalt.
