Booing, like most things, is best done in moderation

Three batters into the game — THREE — after Chase Utley doubled to drive in Shane Victorino and give the Phillies a 1-0 lead, the boos started raining down from the stands. The Dodgers came into tonight on a season-high five-game winning streak. Mark Hendrickson has pitched well, including two innings on Saturday in San Francisco that saved the Dodgers you-know-whats after they blew a six-run lead. So what were these people booing about? For pete’s sake, save the boos until there is REALLY a reason to boo (fill in your own punch line here). Is every run scored by the opposing team worthy of catcalls? … Anyway, Shane Victorino, whom the Dodgers (previous regime) let get away in the 2004 Rule 5 draft and who has 11 homers and 37 RBI this season s the Phillies’ everyday RF, just tripled in two more runs. Hendrickson has gutted his way through to this point, but he doesn’t appear to have much. Might have something to do with the fact he threw a side session and then two innings in that game Saturday. Meanwhile, the Dodgers have no runs and one hit off a J.D. Durbin, a guy who came in with a 13.50 ERA and who has been waived three different times this season by three different clubs. Oh, and he also is 2 for 2 against Hendrickson. Phillies 5, Dodgers 0, top 4
