Whaddya think? Let him close tonight? He threw only 99 pitches and he was still pumping high-octane gas at the end. Curt Schilling might be good for a batter or two in a pinch tonight.

You walk around feeling like your team is messing this up, that they&#39;re doing it wrong, that the Phillies are doomed to unending futility - even when they do something right.

It wasn't enough.
