Why?

Well I will be the first to say it.  I thought the 8th saved the season and after that ninth I think our season is over.  In fact I would not be surprised at all if the Phils free fall from here and plummet to last place in the NL East.  Someone explain to me how I could be wrong.  Someone explain to me why Bill Dancy sends David Bell in the 8th.  Since when is it not a good idea to try to score as many runs as possible?  I mean Bell had no chance.  Someone explain to me how David Bell gets eaten up by a ground ball in the 9th with Jose Vizcano running.  I mean he had ALL day to make that play.  Billy Wagner choked again by the way against his old team.  I don’t care if it was his third day pitching…this is a playoff race.  With the Marlins and Braves on deck….I believe the fat lady is doing her last minute warm up vocals and the priest is preparing the last rites.
