Oh, Jamie Moyer, how I love you.
At forty years old, pitching a complete game shut-out with only two hits is a feat in and of itself.
At forty-seven, it's all but unheard of.
Until tonight, the record was forty-six.
I'm optimistic enough about my Phillies that I'm hoping this game won't meet the top twenty games of the season, but if it does, Moyer deserves it. After an off-season of plenty of fans praying the Phillies would simply buy out the last year of his contract, the Ageless Wonder proves that as long as the umpires don't dick him over, he is still the Ageless Wonder.
Thank you, my baseball fake husband, for being forty-seven and pitching like you're twenty-five!
Cole Hamels, you have been put on notice. If Moyer can pitch a complete game, so can you.
