Revenge of the Wolf Man

Call it the revenge of the Wolf Man. Sounds like some kind of cheesy teen horror flick. It turned into a nightmare for the Phillies.

Their old pal Randy Wolf dazzled the Phillies over six innings, giving up just one run on six hits. The only run he surrendered was to that dreaded No. 5 hitter, Jimmy Rollins.

In the meantime, Phils starter Jamie Moyer had a nightmarish inning of his own. After cruising through the first three innings, giving up just one hit, Moyer had a bit of a meltdown in the fourth, when he was touched for five runs as the Dodgers built a 5-1 lead.

It means Moyer continues to sit at 249 wins. Capturing that 250th victory is proving a bit elusive. He’s now 3-3 and has struggled in his last couple of starts.

The Phils continue to be consistently inconsistent, both in their hitting and pitching.

Last night they could have drawn even with the Mets, who had lost yesterday afternoon. Instead, they were shut down by a very familiar face.

The Wolf Pack, those crazies wearing masks who used to celebrate every Wolf strikeout, didn’t seem to be in attendance at Citizens Bank Park last night.

It was the Phils who were left howling at the moon.
