Game 6 Wrap Up - Treading water never felt so good

And you thought the season was a lost cause.
You forgot the Phillies had Joe Blanton.
The Big Fella scattered just three hits over seven innings while walking one and striking out three.
It was, so far, the best performance by a starter not named Roy Halladay.
Thanks to Blanton's effort, the Phillies earned a 3-1 victory over the Florida Miami Marlins that included a perilous ninth inning that saw Jonathan Paplebon allow two runners to reach base before getting a ground ball double-play to end the game.
This season isn't over yet. Your Fightin' Phils are back at .500 and have 156 games left to capture the division.
On a side note, Michael did not finish eating Roy Halladay.
Don't worry, Joe. There are no Blanton figures from MacFarlane.
But keep it up, and we'll see one.
