And the Phillies have now come full-circle.

On this weekend four years ago, with the Phillies just reaching their full potential as the best team in baseball, Roy Halladay threw a perfect game against the Marlins, and the Phillies improved to 28-20. Today, it was former Marlin Josh Beckett who threw the no-hitter, against the Phillies, who fell to 21-26 and have now been shutout five times in their last 10 home games and six times in their last 18 games overall.

After the game, signs of rock bottom:

Chase Utley, who typically spends considerable time watching video after games, dressed and left before clubhouse opened to reporters.

Jimmy Rollins had little to say afterward. "He was good," he said. "There's no more to be said." Then left clubhouse.

But congratulations to Beckett, even though he no-hit a team that at times looks like it could be no-hit by a beer league softball pitcher with a nasty spinner.
