May 14 -- OUTTAKES

For seven innings tonight, there wasn't much to write about. The Phillies' vaunted offense was being shut down again, this time by Brewers right-hander David Bush, a Conestoga (Pa.) High grad. And, for the first time this season, Jamie Moyer didn't offer a quality start. Other than that, it was pretty dull at the Bank.

Then came the eighth inning.

The Phillies, 1-15 when trailing after seven innings, scored six runs against the Brewers, 21-0 when leading after seven, and won 8-6. Lots to talk about from that inning, and, inevitably, some of it didn't make the 50-cent edition. So, as usual, we'll touch on them here.

* This picture shows Chase Utley sliding into home plate ahead of the throw from Brewers 1B Prince Fielder. What it doesn't show is why the throw was late. Yes, Utley was busting it up the third-base line, and yes, Utley has more speed than he gets credit for. But when Fielder gloved Carlos Ruiz's chopper, the runner at first, Abraham Nunez, stutter-stepped in front of him. It may not sound like much, but it disrupted Fielder just enough to delay his throw home. "It looked like the runner blinded him a little bit," said Wes Helms, who has played some first base for the Phillies. "Any time a guy runs in front of you, as an infielder, it kind of messes with you."

* Why on earth did the Mariners get rid of Greg Dobbs? Two more hits tonight leaves Dobbs' average at .318. He has 11 RBIs in only 44 at-bats.

* The Phillies would still love to have Derrick Turnbow.

* Chris Coste received a nice ovation when he pinch-hit in the seventh.
