Was what I witnessed tonight the “swagger” Brett Myers spoke of when he said he found it in Lehigh-Valley? If so it needs to be bottled.
If you missed the game you missed a dominant performance by Myers (something no one has seen this season). Myers went seven-plus innings, allowing four hits and one run. The lone run allowed was a direct result of a Chase Utley error.
I know he dominated the last place Nats, but pitching a game how Myers did tonight builds confidence, which is exactly what he needs.
I’ve hammered Myers most of this season, and going into tonight I was hoping J.A. Happ would get a last minute start, but I have to give Myers a lot of credit tonight. He didn’t keep the Phillies in the game, he won the game for the Phillies. If he can put a string of starts like tonight together, the Phillies will be in good shape down the stretch.

Hot Stove New York uses Gravatars — short for Globally Recognized Avatars — for the pictures that show up next to comments.
What’s up with Utley? Seems like he suddenly forget how to play defense. What once were amazing plays are now just batted down balls and routine double plays are becoming disasters. What a shame Myers didn’t have a chance to complete the shutout.
