There wasn't much to take out of this one, other than right fielder Geoff Jenkins predicted afterward that Jamie Moyer would pitch until he was 110.

The veteran lefthander started the Grapefruit League opener and threw two scoreless innings, though results are completely meaningless at this point. Moyer threw mostly fastballs, working on his command.

Another notable: Raul Ibanez had his first spring training RBI as a Phillie, driving in Jimmy Rollins in the third inning.

Joe Blanton gave up a run on two hits in his inning of work. Joe Bisenius gave up four earned runs and Scott Nestor followed by giving up three earned runs.

South Philly product Mike Koplove pitched a scoreless eighth with two strikeouts.

John Mayberry drove in the Phillies' other run.

More later.

How could the Phillies lose to the Pirates? Their season is over.

Does this mean we won't get to look at that beautiful WS Game 5 result in the "Phillies Scoreboard?" Too bad...I was enjoying that.

Dude, I appreciate all the work. One request: please get rid of your pretentious, self-serious photo. It really is embarrassing to you, and not just because you're NOT Earnest Hemingway, but because the attitude it conveys is one of smugness, self-congratulation, and an intense self-awareness. Please forgive me for saying this. It's bad enough that I have to put up with the moronymity of Ashley Fox (yes, that's a neologism followed by the proper name of a really poor writer). But, dude, trust me on this. Your photo is silly.
