Root, root, root for the home team

Last night the Phillies fans cheered for Pat Burrell before he homered in the first inning. Some booed before his next at bat. The Phillies recovered, so it wasn't as bad as the time the fans cheered Jim Thome before and after he hit a big home run that set up one of the Phillies' worst losses of the season.

After they wrap up this Giants series, the Phillies welcome the Nationals with no former Phillies on the roster. Then, the Astros come into town. Nobody better cheer Jason Michaels, Pedro Feliz or Michael Bourn.

Today's games: The Red Sox beat the Angels 7-5, the Phillies beat the Giants 8-2. Things are looking up, but sometimes the higher you go, the lower you feel when things go awry, especially when you're to blame.
