Baseball again today against the hated Atlanta Braves. Both teams started their regular players and the expectation was that we would see something like a regular season baseball game. We hope that what we saw today was not a preview of what the new season will look like. Cliff Lee looked good despite giving up a first inning home run. That was about the only bright spot for the Phillies today. Ryan Howard still looks lost at the plate (although he didn't strike out today - just two weak ground outs and a fly ball) Jimmie Rollins went hitless and had two pop-up outs (old habits die hard), Papelbon gave up 5 runs, Dominic Brown struck out 3 times and now has tied Howard with 9 strikeouts for the spring training season, and so it went, with the Phillies losing the the game 8-1.
The weather was good; sunny, 73 degrees, and a slight breeze. Once again, it was a good crowd and the Phanatic kept everyone entertained. Actually, other than complimentary bloody marys, good ballpark food, Yuengling beer on draft, and lots of Philadelphia fan interaction - "how ya dooin!" , "ja eat yet?", etc., the Phanatic was the most entertaining part of the game.
Dinner in at the condo tonight. No game tomorrow or Wednesday. The plan is for some sightseeing tomorrow, but while on vacation, everything is subject to change.
Here are a few random pictures from the game today:
