We will take you to texas for this crazy one coming up. Everyone, everyone is waiting for the cole hamels trade to texas to become official. Nothing yet. But the reports are theres just no problems. Just a long process with the Six Minor League players from texas that would come back to the phillies. Got to do physicals. Cole hamels did not show up at the ballpark tonight. He knows hes gone. Obviously why would he show up . The other player involved in the deal with hamels was there. But there was a game to be played. It was not one of those games that had you on the edge of your seat. Lets go to Citizens Bank park. Thats jake diekman. Hes traded, too. Sat in the bullpen. They knew they couldnt use him, but he sat there and played with people, walk off one time. Another time he came back. Carlos ruiz 1,000th game for the phillies gets rbi gives the phillies the lead in the four21. Domonic brown is unbelievably bad. All right. Now, watch this. Now, hes safe, but watch the replay, because atlanta challenges after the fielder held the ball on him and he stepped off the bag. He was out. Just to show that you a broken clock is right twice a day. Domonic brown hits a homerun in the sixth inning, his first of the year. Hes got one more shot because we know its twice a day broken clock is right. All right. Kenny giles second save for the phillies. Phillies win it fourone over atlanta and guess who got a save today . Mr. Happy, there he is. Jonathan papelbon, what a sweet guy. Have fun in washington. He gets the save. Washington beats miami. The score there one to nothing. All right. 16 years ago today on this date the phillies and the Atlanta Braves played at that time one of the best brawls you will see. Lets go back to 1999 in atlanta. Paul berg was the phillies pitcher. He hits eddie perez. That was the second time he hit him in five days. But when paul berg came up eddie perez is the catcher. I mean and everybody everybody got into this one. Mike lieberthal was the catcher. Rico, was with the team, number two there. Scott rolen was with the team. They had big hitters and so did atlanta. Ryan clesko with atlanta. Theyre just throwing bodies around. This was beautiful. Theres ryan clesko. The pitcher for the phillies. I mean it was youll never see a brawl like that again. Everybody will get suspended. By the way paul berg was not suspended in that fight but eddie perez was. It really is a beautiful thing. So just to understand this. Physicals are an important thing. They have to get it done. The trade is going to happen. Im sure the texas wanted cole hamels to pitch tomorrow night because theyre playing an important series against San Francisco where their best pitcher is going. That looks like it cant happen now. It wouldnt shock me. Cole hamels is already in texas but the reality is there will be another trade before the deadline tomorrow . Im not sure. But its not a big deal because those players can pass their waivers and trade them in august. Well see what happens. Heat wave continues. Yes, thats right. More 90degree temperatures in the city but down the shore, pocono mountains looking pretty good. All right. Sounds good.
