Phillies 8 Pirates 3

Duke had another tough outing today, giving up 7 runs (5 earned) in 5 and 1/3rd against the Phillies. We had an early (2-0) lead but Duke quickly gave those runs back in the bottom of the first and it was downhill from there. I was far more interested in watching the World Cup (seriously, who else can say they ended their career like Zidane did today... sheesh) and then the Futures Game (Walker had a hit and Sharpless got out the only batter he faced) than watching the Pirates lose their 60th game of the season. Last year the Pirates were 30-30 after sixty games, this year they only have 30 wins at the break, putting them on pace for a 54-108 season. I've been working on a bunch of stuff to put up over the break (mid-season grades, etc.) so you can start looking for that tomorrow or maybe even later tonight.
