Diamondbacks 5, Phillies 7: Sucks to be right

So, with Turambar off North killing things (I presume), it fell upon me to cover the Friday recap. “Are they playing in Philadelphia?” asked Mrs. SnakePit. When I answered in the affirmative, she replied, “Does that mean that weird green thing will be roaming the stands?” Going forward, I will always refer to the Phillies’ mascot as the Philadephia Weird Green Thing. Anyway, this game proved to be a test of resilience, both of the D-backs and their fans, though those who stuck around were rewarded by the team making this much more a contest than it seemed it would be in the early stages.
