Phils head up to Shea

Nice win yesterday against the Reds to split the series. Now the Phils head to New York for a three game set against the Mets. Game one of the series starts today at 1:10 eastern. You can't really judge this early in the season but with the bad blood between these two teams it will be a good barometer test.

Nice come from behind win

After being down 5 runs in the first inning it looked as if the Phillies were doomed to repeat history for the third straight season being swept at home to start the season. Then they decided enough was enough and staged a comeback that took them into extra innings where the Phillies came away with their first win of the season.
Now they are off to Cincinnati to start a series with the Reds.

Another loss at home

This time the pitching came through holding Washington to only one run, the offense failed miserable only getting one hit. Two in a row at home to start the season is embarrassing, if they don't win tonight I will be humiliated for them.

Cole Hamels Starts tonight

Let's hope he can right the ship and get the first victory of the season, it would be a major shame to start the season in the same fashion as they did the previous two, getting swept in the first series. Even if they do lose they will have an opportunity to not duplicate that because they have one more against Washington tomorrow. It would still suck losing the first two at home.
