Obviously, it was an ugly loss in Game 2.\u00a0 Between the abysmal situational hitting, the fielding miscues, a base-running blunder, and the two horrendous calls by home-plate umpire Kerwin Danley, the Phillies took a game that should have been a solid opportunity for a win, and turned it into a\u00a0momentum-shifting mess.\u00a0 All in all though, the Phils got the split they needed in Tampa and now it’s a 5-game series and they have home-field advantage.\u00a0 There were encouraging signs\u00a0last night.\u00a0 For one, Brett Myers pitched very well.\u00a0 He gave up four\u00a0runs and lost, but there wasn’t one ball hit really hard off of him, and if it weren’t for the previously mentioned mistakes by Jayson Werth in right-field and by Danley, he may have given up one or two runs instead of four.\u00a0 Also, Ryan Howard had a couple hits and really tagged the double into deep center in the second.<\/p>\n
