[all4phillysportsfan]

3 run homerun by Burrell. 8-2 Phillies. 4 RBI's for him tonight.

[fire_bettman]

moyer & burrell really stepped up tonight. that was a nice catch by rowand on that deep fly off of alfenseco

[all4phillysportsfan]

Yeah Burrell and Moyer stepped up tonight. I am gonna count how many times Burrell has been a difference in a game this year. I am marking it on the record. This is the 1st time, and it could be the last but you never know. Lets enjoy this win!

[fire_bettman]

the think is if he came out and batted 100 everyone would be blaming howards struggles on him

[all4phillysportsfan]

Howard should get more pitches to hit as long as Burrell is hitting the ball well.

Willingham hit a homerun to make it 1-0 Florida, then Rollins hits a 3 run inside the park homerun when De Aza dove for the ball and missed and J-Roll flew around the bases and scored. Amazing.

[all4phillysportsfan]

Willingham is killing the Phillies tonight. 6-3 Fish in the 5th inning. Myers has struggled big time.

[fire_bettman]

clunker performance by myers.. howard was horrible he should have been trying to draw a walk at the end of the game considering how he has been struggling instead he swings at the 1st pitch again to get behind in the count
