A loss brought the Phils and their fans back to Earth. The Phils, now 1.5 games above the Marlins in the NL East, will take the Fish on in the second of a three-game series.
Krap: Last time Kyle Kendrick faced the Marlins, he gave up seven runs, the most he has given up all season.
Sanchez Paper: Anibal Sanchez is making his second start of the season tonight. His first one was pretty goo: He went 5.2 innings and gave up two runs in a 12-2 blowout of the Rockies.
Eric The Not-So-Great: Since his three-hit game filling in for Jimmy Rollins against the Mets, Eric Bruntlett has had just two hits (.090). Bruntlett is starting tonight.
Phillies: Kyle Kendrick (9-5) 4.59 ERA
Marlins: Anibal Sanchez (1-0) 3.18 ERA
Gametime: 7:05 p.m. EST
Weather: 86, partly cloudy
Lineup: Rollins/Victorino/Utley/Howard/Burrell/Jenkins/Coste/Bruntlett/Kendrick

Your gamenight beer: Another Philadelphia pick, this is Monk’s Café Flemish Sour Red Ale, brewed in Belgium for Monk’s Cafe in Philly. For those who haven’t been, go to Monk’s, have some Belgian beer and get randy. Eat some of Monk’s famous mussels with it.
Go Phillies!

Brett Favre Update:
” A source close to Brett claims that Brett indeed loves apples. Headed to the Big Apple? Mort, whats the latest? ”
“Well Cindy, it is a fact that the apple core we picked out of Brett’s trash was his DNA. All signs point to New York being the best fit.”
“In other non-important news, Jeff Karstens comes four outs away from a perfect game, but who cares, how about that apple? Interesting or what? As Doyle Brunson would put it, thats a ‘tell,’ or is he bluffing? World Series of Poker on every Tuesday at nine, don’t miss it on the fake sports news channel, ESPN.”

Surely not a lot of comments tonight, with the server and all. No worries. LA just called Chad Durbin “The Bridge.” Ugh.

The folks only get chatty when there’s doom and gloom. People are always quick to criticize, but short on compliments. Funny what a difference of 24 hours makes.

I hope they dont run Durbin for both the 7th and 8th. This guy’s arm will fall off before October I’m afraid.

Very nice article. He seems happy in Philly, and I for one hope they can sign him long-term in the off-season.

I knew JD wasn’t related. It shows on the mound, too!

I felt guilty even making the JD comment. Sorry! I hope he gets it together.

I was worried after the article and the comment Chad might implode and I would be the idiot….
Great Job.

Hey guys, Going to my first Phillies games the 22nd against the Dodgers, any suggestions on what me and my girlfriend should do or go?? Also, She wanted to know what 2 players are best friends

Durbin deserves a raise. And his dad, too! Nice work yet again by the bullpen, great job by Kendrick who has rebounded nicely from his poor start a few back, and nice to see the offense coming around a little better than last night. Let’s take this series!

JJ23, what do you mean “what 2 players are best friends?” Are you asking who on the team are friends with each other? I know there are several, but Howard and J-Roll are very close friends (Howard at one time lived with Rollins, although I don’t know if they still do). I know Burrell and Utley are close, and Victorino is close with Howard. I don’t know if that’s what you mean though.

Gotta love how this race is gonna turn out down the stretch if we play the same ball we played tonight. Of course we aren’t gonna shut the opponent out every night but the hustle and defense was there too. How about Bruntlett, Ashburn? How close was Howard to three home runs tonight, all opposite field. One went, One hit the top of the wall, and the other was about 4 feet short. Dude’s got some serious pop. We need to lock Durbin up, I have a feeling we will in the offseason but don’t want to take the chance of him leaving for more paper because we all know how the management is with pitchers.

JJ23, try to make it for batting practice if you can, don’t know if your girlfriend will enjoy it but it’s a great thing to do. The players are pretty interactive down the 1st base line. There really isn’t anything you must do at the ballpark except eat and watch the game. Maybe get her an ice cream in a mini phillies helmet, if shes into that kind of thing. Howard and Rollins are definitely the closest on the team by the way.

Spring Training is the best for player interactions, IMHO. I had several conversations with players and coaches down in Clearwater (or at away games) that were just hanging out before/during/after BP and whatnot. Great for getting pictures, autographs, etc. At the Bank, I’d agree with TJ that you’d want to get there early if you want to get close enough to interact with them or photos. Get yourself a nice cheese steak too!

How does Kendrick put 9 guys on base in 6 IP and still get the shutout? He consistently gets out of trouble, which is great, but it never ceases to amaze me. What are batters hitting against him with RISP? It must be dirt low.

There really isnt a bad seat in the ball park, mid level is my personal favorite ( other than the Diamond Club.) Batting practice is usually about 1hr 15min before the game, try to get there by then I guess. The player I usually have the most yelling back and forth with is Victorino.
