Halladay was in the groove last night. Anybody could see that. He was in a real rythym mowing them down till the walk, which really bummed me out because I was considering the unthinkable possible.
Simply amazing.
Before the game, I was afraid that if the Phils somehow lost that they would have to stew for a whole off day thinking about having their ace lose and being down 1-0 and the pressure on Oswalt to even the series.
I never thought that the Reds could be no-hit -- and now its them that have to sit around for an extra day and think about being no hit.
If Oswalt can start the first couple of innings strong tomorrow night, this thing could snowball against the Reds and really get into their heads about how unhittable the Phils' staff is.
BTW, I was at Halladay's last regular season start vs. the Nationals where they clinched the division (coincidentally in weather very similar to last night with showers throughout the middle innings.) He threw a 2 hit shutout then, so in his last 18 innings he's thrown 2 complete game shutouts with 2 hits and 1 walk.
Welcome to the post-season, Mr. Halladay!
