Gamenight: Phillies (4-5) At Mets (3-4)

Breaking: Phillies sign LHP Steve Kline.

Life without Jimmy Rollins: Blunder-rific.

The Phils lost yesterday, 8-2, but will look to rebound tonight. Good defense is essential, as is timely hitting, especially against the tough John Maine. Adam Eaton gets the call for the road grays. A Phils win would give them a 2-1 series win and bragging rights for the next week.

Rollins is a game-time decision; the Mets today signed Claudio Vargas to a Minor League deal.

Phillies: Adam Eaton (0-1), 3.52 ERA
Mets: John Maine (0-1), 9.00 ERA

Gametime: 7:10 p.m.
Weather:

60 degrees, partly cloudy
Lineup: Victorino/Bruntlett/Utley/Howard/Burrell/Jenkins/Feliz/Coste/Eaton

MLB Gameday

Your gameday beer: Last night without Rollins, the Phils looked dead. That’s why Dead Guy Ale is the way to go tonight! It’s a light, crisp beer that has some strong hops inside. Made in Oregon, it’s a good compliment for some grilled chicken and asparagus. Eat classy.

Go Phillies!

Tim first found the Phillies as a little infant at Veteran’s Stadium, cheering on a Juan Samuel game-winning home run in his very first game. With the pinstripes in his blood, he witnessed Terry Mulholland’s 1990 no-hitter, “Steve Carlton Night” at the Vet, game three of the 1993 World Series, countless games during the charmed 2008 championship season and various road excursions. Since November 2007 Tim’s been writing about them daily at Phillies Nation, becoming one of the world’s most popular Phillies scribes. You can catch him on Twitter and Facebook, as well. When he’s not talking about the Phils he’s relaxing with a St. Bernardus ABT 12 or one of his many favored brews.
