Preview of tonight's game

Can the Phillies win their first series of the season? They need to win tonight to be able to do that. So far they have lost one series and tied another.

Nice win against the Mets yesterday

After an 0-2 start they have won 4 of six and beat the hated Mets in Shea yesterday. they play again tonight at 7:00 eastern aired on ESPN2.

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.

Bad News Good News

Bad News - They are 2-4.
Good News - The Nl East is not doing great and they are only one game behind the leaders.
Bad News - The #1 pitcher Bret Myers is sucking big time.
Good News - Cole Hamels and Chase Utley are starting off quite nicely.

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.

New season same old result

Once again the Phillies start off their season with a loss. Why? Pitching. Their offense did what it had to do putting up six runs and even coming from behind to tie the game up. The pitching let them down, letting up 11 runs, five of which came in the ninth.
Next game isn't until tomorrow. The man Cole Hamels takes the mound. The Mets and Johan Santana started off their season with a win, the Phillies can't get behind early this season because they will not be able to duplicate what happened last season. No way will the Mets collapse like they did a season ago.
