Likely nothing to this, but still interesting.
On July 26th, 2007, John Lannan hit Chase Utley in the hand with a pitch, breaking his hand. Jesus Flores was the catcher and had the go-ahead three-run homer to win the game.
Tonight, with John Lannan pitching, Chase Utley sent Jesus Flores out on a stretcher sliding into home.
The only other time John Lannan faced the Phillies? July 31, 2008. Kyle Kendrick hit both Zimmerman and Belliard with a pitch, sending Zimm out of the game. Lannan hit Victorino and Buttocks Colume hit Chase Utley.
No one hit yet tonight…. However, seems Lannan vs the Phillies always creates pain.

Utley was viciously booed when he came to bat the next time up. Not that any of YOU so-called Nats season ticket holders would know - Merf & I were the ONLY ONES THERE!! :-p
I was very bummed to miss the game, was stuck at a work event
