Roy Oswalt Disappoints in Phillies Debut vs. Nationals

If there’s anyone like me who wasn’t a true fan of the move to bring in Roy Oswalt, you’re probably hoarse from screaming at your TV all night long.
Oswalt was incredibly erratic in his Phillies debut as he and the team fell to the Washington Nationals 8-1. Of those eight runs, Oswalt allowed four earned, five total. He also allowed seven hits, two walks, and struck out only four in six innings of work.
Is it just me, or could J.A. Happ have done that?
The Phils had better hope that Friday night was an aberration for Oswalt, and that he’ll come back strong in about five days or so, because if he has another showing like that the Philly police might have to set up a border around Ruben Amaro Jr.’s home and keep watch for crazed fans.
But on a more positive note, Jayson Werth did hit a home run.
