Phillies Shut Up Sox Fans At CBP

I asked, and Phillyskyline delivered (thanks, Brad). Also delivering: The Phillies, who have the leader in All-Star votes, Chase Utley, got two homers (and a triple!) from Ryan Howard, as well as a triple from known speed demon Pat Burrell. The Philliesbeat Boston, 8-2; meanwhile, in Anaheim, the Mets fired manager Willie Randolph at 3:15 a.m.

The Phillies are 3 up on the Marlins and 6.5 up on the Mets and Braves. I think the Phillies will still have to eventually worry about the Mets and Braves both, but we’ll see. Jamie Moyer goes tonight against the Red Sox.
