No more pixie dust

I finished typing last night's post as the Phillies trailed the Cubs 12-2 in the 9th. We were getting nervous that Trent did have some magic charm over the Phillies as they started scoring runs. But he did not have a mystical 10-run inning in him - just four runs.

It seems as if his powers expired at the All-Star break because the Phillies lost another one today, 4-3.

The Red Sox are losing again too, 7-3 in the 6th to the Rangers.

Tomorrow, little Trent gets his first SoxandPhils double header as the Phillies play in the afternoon and the Sox are on a national broadcast at night, facing Cliff Lee.
