Easter 2011 certainly is one of the best in recent sports memories. We didn’t lose a playoff game and didn’t trade our franchise QB for parts — even if one of those parts may be a decent starting safety.

On a day in which our two winter teams fought off elimination, Doc Halladay was simply Doc Halladay. Dude came within an out of yet another complete game win. Doc propelled the Phils to a 3-1 win an a four-game sweep of the Padres in San Diego. He fanned 14 batters and allowed just one run — in the 9th inning. Oh, yeah, Cy Young walked just one and scattered a whole five hits.

Doc Halladay walked a batter on Sunday — gasp! Oh, dude also sat down 14 in 3-1 series-sweep win.

Is there anything Superman can’t do? Is there anything this rotation can’t do?

After Phillies Nation was a little, um, perturbed that the Fightins had lost two in a row — gasp, a losing streak — the starters have seen the light and gone deep in games. Hell, even Joe Blanton tossed a strong seven inning gem on Saturday.

The offense continued to struggle on Sunday, scoring just three runs. Shane Victorino launched his third homer of the year, and Ben Francisco and John Mayberry Jr. added RBIs. Francisco and The Big Piece each had two hits.

While you’d like to see more offense, with the pitchers you rarely need many more than three runs.

The Fightins take their baseball-best 15-6 record to Arizona where the 8-12 D-backs await.

Cliff Lee, Roy Oswalt and Cole Hamels are on tap to take the mound at the BOB. Ah, the joys of this summer. And, we’re still in April.
