Ryan Howard has not hit a ball out of the park in his last ten games but we've got a feeling he's going to bring some fireworks to Citizens Bank Park this afternoon when the Phils face Mets right hander Fernando Nieve.
Nieve has been solid in his short time as a Mets starter but was roughed up in his last outing in Milwaukee, failing to get out of the fourth inning. He could also be throwing his final start of the season for the Mets due to the looming return of Oliver Perez.
Jamie Moyer takes the mound for the Phillies on this beautiful day in Philadelphia. Moyer has struggled a bit this season at CBP with an ERA there over 7. Hopefully, being the fine American that he is, Moyer will show up and work his magic against the hated rivals from New York.
Keep an eye out for Jimmy Rollins flying around the Jetro lot this afternoon in a "hooked up Red Bull MXT truck." Be sure to report back on any sightings.
If you're down at the park, enjoy the lovely weather and try not to let the Mets fans (voted the most obnoxious in all of baseball by a landslide margin) ruin your day.
We'd like to once again extend a Happy 4th of July to all of you out there in BBQ land. Just don't forget those imortal words:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal (except for those wearing Mets hats), that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of repeat championships.
Go Phils.
