Phils Stay On Top of Florida

The Phillies continued last year’s late season success against the Marlins as they won 4-1 tonight. Pat Burrell continued his offensive explosion with a 2 run tape measure shot in the 2nd and Billy Wagner recorded his first save of the year. Burrell was named this season’s first NL player of the week, and that’s awesome. As for my past week, the last few days were spent in Chicago, more specifically Wrigleyville. Beautiful weather for Cubs Opening Day, Ryne Sandberg threw out the first pitch and sung “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” along with Ernie Banks and Ron Santo

. Wrigley’s great and it will be the first non-Phillies addition to the Photo Gallery. It’s not quite ready yet so enjoy these shots from inside Citizens Bank Ballpark. This was the tour I was talking about from Easter last year before the park opened.
