AND THAT, STAT GEEKS, IS WHY YOU DON'T SEE A LOT OF TWO-INNING SAVES: I have been blessed to attend a lot of fun and exciting baseball games in my life -- playoff games the Phillies actually won, all-star games, two no-hitters . . . and, wow, does today's 11-10 win over the Mets belong near the top of that list. A team that blows a 5-0 lead and an 8-5 lead doesn't deserve to come back and win, but this has been a most improbable season.
Thank you Chase Utley; thank you, Clay Condrey and Tom Gordon; thank you, J-Ro and Aaron Rowand; and most of all, thank you Pat Burrell, who for whatever reason does to the Mets what Andrew Toney did to the Celtics. September is going to be fun.
