2010 Gameday, Posts
Florida Marlins (70-67) at Philadelphia Phillies (79-60)
Chris Volstad (9-9, 4.82 ERA) vs. Joe Blanton (6-6, 5.52 ERA)
Time: 7:05 at Citizens Bank Park
TV: Comcast SportsNet
Weather: Sunny, 83
Twitter: @philliesnation
Lineup update: Dom Brown was in the original lineup posted around 3:30 today, but was replaced around 5 p.m. for Jayson Werth who jumps in to bat 7th. No word yet on why the move was made.
5:15 p.m.: Brown was scratched with a sore right quad, he will be re-evaluated after the game. Doesn’t seem like a serious injury.
Get this: the Phillies have won 31 of their last 45 games and now sit 0.5 behind the Braves. With a Braves loss and Phillies win, they will grab the top spot in the division for the first time since May 30. It’s been a long, crazy summer, but somehow, someway, they can grab first place tonight with some help. Amazing.
It all starts with Joe Blanton, who was crushed in Colorado his last time out. He has to put together a strong performance, and if he does, again…first place could be had!
LINEUP: Victorino CF, Polanco 3B, Utley 2B, Howard 1B, Rollins SS, Ibanez LF, Werth RF, Ruiz C, Blanton P
Your Gameday Beer – Leinenkugel Sunset Wheat
I haven’t given up on summer just yet. Everyone is out there drinking their pumpkin beers and enjoying their octoberfest brews, but I’m not ready. I’m sticking with a summery beer, Leinenkugel Sunset Wheat. With the temps still close to 90, it’s important to enjoy a warm-weathered beer. Go with this.
GO PHILLIES!

yea lefty ———– i hope the old man leaves shane at the top , when he’s not the hackin hawaiian and takin pitches he can be a great leadoff guy. He has some power , runs like a deer , can do it all.
All he has to do is take more pitches.

I really like shane , polly , utley , howard , jimmy , —– move 6 , 7 , 8 depending on matchups. If shane would learn to concentrate on his o.b.p and stop trying to hit so many home runs thats are best lineup imop.

I won’t consider us in first until the Braves catch up in games on Thursday. But we’ll be tied for first in one more out.
