Posts, Top 20 Moments of 2011
Advancing to the playoffs for the fifth consecutive year was a special moment, but the game in which it occurred was also something to remember.
In the midst of their yearly end of the season Phillies beating, the Astros were on the verge of sweeping them. Roy Halladay would be sent to the mound to stop the Phillies’ three-game skid.
The Phillies wound up winning by a score of 1-0 in Houston. The lone Phillies run came on an RBI single by Placido Polanco in the first inning. It was all the Phillies needed with Roy Halladay on the mound.
It was Halladay’s first complete game shutout of the season. Halladay allowed seven baserunners and struck out seven in his gem against the ‘Stros. The fact that his first CG SHO came late in the season may be surprising, but Halladay did finish with eight complete games on the season.
In 2010, Halladay shutout the Washington Nationals to clinch the division. A year later, he tossed another shutout to ensure a playoff spot for the Fightin’ Phils.

Good luck to Brad Lidge. His 2008 season will always be held in high esteem.

2008 seems like such a long time ago. It IS slipping away, for sure. Hell, even Eric Bruntlett is gone, too! I can still see Lidge dropping to the ground, Chooch running towards the mound, all while listening to Harry the K make that magical call… Anyway, I wish Lidge well in DC. This move [...]

schmenkman- that was funny! And yes Chuck, we will all hope for the best. I will still be critical in a rational manner when I see fit, but I have never booed a Phillies player. Therefore, apocryphal or not, I won’t lose my eye sight.
