Phils' Oswalt Plays LF After Howard Ejected

This just cracks me up. Roy Oswalt was forced to play left field last night after Ryan Howard was thrown out for arguing a check-swing strike call after his 5th strikeout of the night (he went 0/7).

Oswalt recorded a routine putout in left but also made the final out in the 16th inning in the 4-2 loss to the 'Stros. Classic Phillies.

Phillies fans are surely crying over the ejection of Howard

Claiming it cost them the game, since Oswalt made the last out batting in Howard’s spot. But….Howard was 0-7 with 5 Ks. It’s not like he would have necessarily had any better results than Oswalt did in that spot.

Ohh gee..

I feel so bad for them.
