Pirates 8, Phillies 2

POSTED: Wednesday, February 25, 2009, 4:38 PM

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.

I don't think John Mayberry's rbi should be a footnote. This is the right-handed guy to watch.

barcelona fan, nothing conveys more smugness and self-congratulation than your post. Though to be fair, it contains no trace of self-awareness ... otherwise you might have known better than to write it in the first place.

barcelona, if you have a such a big problem with that picture, you really have much bigger problems. Murph, don't listen to these people.

Haha I enjoyed looking at the game 5 boxscore everyday as well. Barcelona take it easy. Why get that angry over a little picture?? With that said, Murph, the picture screams, "yea thats right, every player on the Phillies knows my name and I actually had a beer with Shane Victorino and Ryan Howard last night. I'm kind of a big deal." How about a nice, not so glamour shot picture.
