    Nick Castellanos threw a baseball to the kid who whiffed on the Brandon Marsh homer. Awesome.

    This is amazing: Zack Wheeler today was the first Phillies pitcher to retire 22 consecutive batters in a start since May 29, 2010 -- Roy Halladay's perfect game.

    The Phillies sent a car at noon for Ricardo Pinto, who was in Rochester, N.Y. with the IronPigs. He got stuck in traffic and did not arrive until the fourth inning. He said hello to Rob Thomson, then went to the bullpen. He pitched four innings for the save.

    This photo was taken by Derik Hamilton, who is shooting for the Phillies this postseason, and it's an all timer.

    Photo of Bryce Harper staring doing Orlando Arcia while stepping on second base after hitting his second home run of the game. He's wearing the red pinstripes Phillies uniform.

    Bryce Harper stared down Orlando Arcia as he rounded second base. It's 4-1 Phillies.

    The Phillies threw 50 pitches in the first inning. They got two outs. The inning is over. Fans are booing.

    Now that the Phillies are playing Thursday night, rumor has it you could see the powder blues in Game 5 of the World Series. Go wild.

    A long ovation for Rhys Hoskins. The Phillies played Hoskins' old walk-up song, Calvin Harris' "Slide." It's only the second time they've ever done that for a visiting player -- "Kashmir" for Utley's return.

    Joe Girardi ejecting the umpire is the good stuff.

    Honestly? I'd buy a "I hate this fucking place" T-shirt.
