Ok, that doesn’t have the same ring to it as “Chase Utley you are the man”, however it certainly applies right now. Cliff Lee went 8 innings strong allowing 6 hits and one run, striking out 8 yesterday to complete the sweep over the Cubs. This is the first time in 25 years that the Phillies swept the Cubs at Wrigley. Also good, Ryan Howard ended his homerless drought with a bomb to get the offense rolling in the fourth. It was an oppo shot, which is always a good sign because Rhyno has incredible oppo power and is at his best when hitting evenly to all fields. Pedro Feliz added a home run of his own. A sweep of the Cubs is a strong step in keeping the division lead and working towards expanding it.
