Pirates 11 Phillies 2

Kip Wells hadn't won on the road since May. The Phillies have never beaten Kip Wells. Something had to give. The Phillies gave. They gave a lot. It seemed like everytime we got on base tonight, someone got a hit to score the run. Almost everything we hit found a hole. Kip Wells hit a home run. Brad Eldred crushed a ball into the stratosphere. The umpire gave Kip a big strike zone and he used it, almost masterfully. For the second time in a week, we've beaten up on the Wild Card leaders (last week the Astros were the leaders when we played them). Nothing would make me happier than to put a crimp into the Phillies postseason plans, so hopefully we can keep this up.
