Phillies Nation is at the park, part of our DC Bus Trip. While watching, anytime the camera goes into left field, look up. We’re all there on the first level — more than 200 of us. Sure enough, we’ll be screaming “Rauuuuuuul!” myriad times.
Your gamenight beer: We finish tonight with an old favorite: Yards IPA. We’ll be drinking this (and other Philadelphia-related brews) throughout the day on our bus trip. So crack open a local and enjoy. Grill up some burgers and dogs — that’s what we’re doing.
Go Phillies!
Tim MalcolmTim 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.
