Yes Howards bat looked very slow against Brad Penny, I thought he would have a tough time against the closer Brandoban ( i think thats how you spell it) but he got the bat head out on the first pitch and the rest is history. Phillies are in the thick of the race in the NL East, and wild card, they need to be consistent, and Ed Wade will make or break his time in Philly in the next 2 weeks.
