We've been waiting for this day since the 3 game flame-out last October...and it will be over before many of us get home from work. The challenge for many phans today: avoid the internet or sports radio until the game can be watched on DVR this evening. Good luck to all.
As for the game: Brett Myers vs. Matt Chico. The last time Chico took the mound, Sept 29 2007, he threw 6 innings, gave up only one earned run and beat the Phillies. Lightening can't strike twice. And I'm expecting a letdown after the excitement of opening up their new ballpark last night against the Braves. Predictions:
Corey - Phils big, 9-3.
Carson - Phils barely, 6-5.

Seriously, what a great start to the year!

The Phillies piss me off. They seem to come out the gate flat in recent history, 31-42 over the past 3 seasons in April. The story is getting worn out...start off slow, fall behind in the division, then fight back. It's time to rewrite the fucking script.
