It’s a possible playoff preview at Chase Field tonight, as the Phils and Diamondbacks open a four-game set. It’s arguable the Phils and D-Backs are the top two teams in the National League this season; both teams feature strong pitching and a good offense. While the D-Backs are a little younger, the Phils carry a very experienced team.
Tonight it’s very much youth vs. experience, as the D-Backs throw rookie Max Scherzer out there against the Phils’ Jamie Moyer.
Phillies: Jamie Moyer (2-2), 5.11 ERA
Diamondbacks: Max Scherzer (0-0) 0.00 ERA
Gametime: 9:40 p.m.
Weather: 82 degrees, sunny

Your gamenight beer: It’s the first really hot weather the Phils will enounter in 2008, so you need a nice, cold beer to keep you chilled. And since it’s Cinco de Mayo, I mean, let’s be real: You need a Corona. Eat some nachos, hombre.
Go Phillies!

We need the bats tonight – Scherzer is an un-scouted beast.

sherzers eyes are two different colors. hes a wild eyed lunatic. hes touched 100 a few times already. of course we dont have anybody like this we can just casually bring up in may and plug right in there. moyers pitching well so far and i still find it painful to watch when hes out there

he has control issues though and the phlilies are knocking him around now because of it. hard thrower though probably better suited to be a closer when he matures.

Moyer sure pitched well tonight, and a couple of hits to boot. 7 IP, 2 ER, and 0 walks.
