Sunday, May 23 posted at 9:49 PM Hi Ho. Hi Ho. It's back to first we go. The Phils took another from the Padres today, winning the series, 2-1. The Phils only lost one game in this brief homestand, and they have won 12 out of the last 16. Props to Jimmy Rollins for smacking his first homer of the year, and to Perez, Pratt and Burrell for knocking in the rest of the runs today. The Phils have scored at least six runs in 11 out of the last 15 games. But our old pal Vicente Padilla gets GameStar today. Padilla held the Padres to three runs (only one earned) in six innings, which is exactly the type of outing we needed. He gave up a lot of hits, and by the end of the 6th inning, he was completely spent, but he got the job done and set up the rest of the game nicely for the relievers. He walked none. Padilla has also won his last four games. Not bad considering he started out 0-4 (before Phils bats really started taking off). But are you people paying any attention ... we just took five out of six against two of the best teams in the National League. Our pitching is solid. Our hitting is working. The Phils are doing damn good right now. Do you need to hear this from me? No. But will I continue to say it all year? You bet I will. Courtesy of MLB.com I hope to post some pics from the game tomorrow. For those that watched the game (and paid close attention), you may remember during the ninth inning Harry and Larry mentioned that a fan was heckling PH Phil Nevin after he struck out looking. If you saw the shot of that fan, I was right next to him (along with Special Correspondent Amie) talking trash right with him. Yes, I happen to have a shot from the TV screen: The quick backstory: The guy next to me busted on Nevin for not swinging (the usual mild fan banter, nothing crazy at all), at which point Nevin snapped and started calling the guy a pussy and attempted to form the shape of a pussy with his hands, all the while little kids surround us. Well then of course we had to start throwing back some insults, everything from telling him to sit down and shut up- to saying he should wear a skirt at bat next time. All the usual cheesy goodness. I hadn't really realized we were causing so much of a commotion until a cop came out of the Padres dugout and an usher was telling us to be quiet. All in all, it was just a typical heckling argument. It wasn't obnoxious by any means, except for Nevin's outbursts. But it made for some extra ninth inning entertainment. If you have MLB.TV, check out the replay. 0 comments	Subscribe!

Hi Ho. Hi Ho. It's back to first we go.

The Phils took another from the Padres today, winning the series, 2-1.

But our old pal Vicente Padilla gets GameStar today.
