Philadelphia Phillies (30-20) at San Diego Padres (25-27)
JA Happ (3-0, 3.00 ERA) vs.Chris Young (4-3, 4.45 ERA)
Time: 10:05 p.m. at PETCO Park, San Diego, Calif.
Weather: Mostly sunny, 65
TV: Comcast SportsNet
Twitter: Phillies Nation
The Phillies are gunning for the three-game sweep at PETCO, a rarity since the Padres haven’t been swept at home yet. But for this team? With an 18-6 road record? Anything is possible.
The big story tonight is the return of JC Romero, the left-handed reliever who was suspended for 50 games for violating Major League Baseball’s substance abuse policy. He should slide quickly back into his setup role, taking on left-handed hitters during the Ryan Madson portion of the game. His addition should help refresh the ‘pen while giving some corrected order to the middle relief portion. Hearty handshakes go to Clay Condrey and Scott Eyre, especially, for stepping up in Romero’s absence.
JA Happ is the man on the mound first and can build on his last start, which was effective but left some a bit empty. There is hope: On April 19, Happ went three innings against San Diego, giving up three hits and a walk. Kevin Kouzmanoff has the most success off him, 4-for-4 lifetime against Happ.
The Phillies will face Chris Young, who they lit up back on April 17. That night the Phils pounded him for seven runs on nine hits, including a three-run home run by Chase Utley. He’s hitting .364 against Young.
Your gamenight beer: JC Romero: The most important man in the world. He may not drink beer often but when he does … he goes with Dos Equis. Yes, this is for Mr. Romero, whose acquisition single-handedly changed the Phillies bullpen back in 2007, and forever since. Drink up. And stay thirsty, my friends.
Go Phillies!

Hope you feel better, MP, I’m off to bed, although I’m wide awake since I took a nap today. Since I’m even older than Jamie Moyer, naps are necessary if I want to stay awake for these west coast games, lol.

i imagine it was a bit rushed, and ignored some options that not many people talk about. Everyone is aware of that the majority new smartphones have internet, so why present that basic function at its bear minimum. Scroll up scroll down zoom in zoom out. Actually? which new cellphone doesnt try this? How bout speak about how the textual content rearranges itsself. Also the texting, very poor review. Why didnt you mention you should use the mic and text with your voice? Not noted ALOT of different more essential features
