Jamie Moyer was hit hard.

Everyone in the infield - except for Ryan Howard, who couldn't catch the ball - was charged with an error.

And that was only after the first four innings! (It's 6-1 Nats in the sixth as I publish this entry.)

If you're a Phillies fan, it may be time to wonder how much Moyer's got left in his 45-year-old left arm. Sure it's one start, but here's a stat that might downright scare you.

From July through September, the last three months of 2007, Moyer was 7-7 with a 5.92 ERA.

So, save for coming up a lot bigger in the final weekend of the regular season, Moyer was about as effective as Adam Eaton. Eaton was 10-10 with a 6.29 ERA last year.

By the way Eaton and Kyle Kendrick, who struggled this spring with a 9.68 ERA, allowing 31 hits allowed in 17 2/3 innings, will make the next two starts.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.
