9,997
Last night's marathon 13-inning, 5-4 loss to the Houston Astros was the Phillies 9,997th loss in franchise history. It goes without saying that the Phillies got shafted on the umpire's decision to call Carlos Lee safe at first base when he clearly grounded into a game-ending double play. Instead, Craig Biggio scored, the game drug on into the 13th inning and the Phillies lost.
The Phillies have lost five of their last six and need to shake themselves out of this funk they are in.
Today Cole Hamels goes for the Phillies to reverse the recent trend. So while you are busy eating hot dogs, noodle salad and gazing at the fireworks, take a little time to cheer for the All-Star, and celebrate America's declaration of freedom from tyranny and tea.
