Gamenight: Marlins (60-53) At Phillies (61-51)

A loss brought the Phils and their fans back to Earth. The Phils, now 1.5 games above the Marlins in the NL East, will take the Fish on in the second of a three-game series.

Krap: Last time Kyle Kendrick faced the Marlins, he gave up seven runs, the most he has given up all season.

Sanchez Paper: Anibal Sanchez is making his second start of the season tonight. His first one was pretty goo: He went 5.2 innings and gave up two runs in a 12-2 blowout of the Rockies.

Eric The Not-So-Great: Since his three-hit game filling in for Jimmy Rollins against the Mets, Eric Bruntlett has had just two hits (.090). Bruntlett is starting tonight.

Phillies:

Kyle Kendrick (9-5) 4.59 ERA
Marlins: Anibal Sanchez (1-0) 3.18 ERA

Gametime: 7:05 p.m. EST
Weather: 86, partly cloudy
Lineup: Rollins/Victorino/Utley/Howard/Burrell/Jenkins/Coste/Bruntlett/Kendrick

Your gamenight beer: Another Philadelphia pick, this is Monk’s Café Flemish Sour Red Ale, brewed in Belgium for Monk’s Cafe in Philly. For those who haven’t been, go to Monk’s, have some Belgian beer and get randy. Eat some of Monk’s famous mussels with it.

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.
