The Phillies will look to start a new winning streak after the dropping the series opener last night against the Nationals. Newly acquired Roy Oswalt never really got into a groove against the last place team in the NL East.
Oh the hill for the Phightins will be Joe Blanton. Blanton is coming off one of this strongest starts of the season giving up only two runs throwing six innings and picking up the win against Colorado. It was only his third win in his past eight starts. Kentucky Joe has struggled on the road going 1-4 with a 6.51 ERA.
Ross Detwiler will take the ball for the Nats. Detwiler is coming off his first start of the season against Milwaukee after having surgery on his hip this past offseason. Despite his 0.00 ERA he did take the loss giving up five runs; all unearned.
The Philly bats will look to heat up again. They only scored one run last night courtesy of a Jayson Werth home run; his 15th. Werth is 11 for his last 24 with two homers. He will be batting 4th in the lineup tonight as Ryan Howard has the night off. Domonic Brown, after going 2-4 last night, is in the lineup again batting 6th and playing right field.
Lineup: Rollins 6, Polanco 5, Ibanez 7, Werth 8, Ransom 3, Brown 9, Ruiz 2, Valdez 4, Blanton 1
Your gameday beer: Woodchuck Cider Granny Smith
Woodchuck is tasty, fairly priced, and won’t dry you out. And one good thing about playing in the Nation’s capitol is that most bars in the area probably carry this Cider. Make it your gameday and celebratory beer tonight. So drink up and cool down. -KC
Go Phillies!

This play by play guy Bob carpenter for the Nats is to play by play what Wheels is to color. The worst in the league.

Kate dont let Wheels taint Mccarthy.
Mccarthy is fine possibly even good over time. Sarge could be too.

TMac and Wheels are what they are to us and we’re stuck with them, but they’re fine compared to the Nats announcers…Carpenter sucks & Dibble is like a more blatant & obnoxious Larry Anderson…I mean we know LA is a Philly guy and he shows it, but Dibble was enough of an ass on the field, he doesn’t have to show it so much in the booth…

I like dibble but I guess i am in the minority. I like Mccarthy and Sarge though too. I tend to like unless you are god foresaken bad like Wheeler and the Nats play by play guy.

Greg Dobbs is to hitting what Chris Wheeler is to broadcasting.
Who do they both have photos of? Should both be part of the proud 10% of the unemployed.

Mitch Williams and Brad Lidge have added at least a decade to my life. I am ten years older because of stress watching these two bone heads.
