LAST NIGHT:
Here are the links from last nights game, if you’re just catching up. Check out our recap, our video collage, and Mike Baumann’s firsthand account of the game. It’s all great stuff by the people here at Phillies Nation!
TODAY:
It’s a half-lineup for the Phillies as they rest most of their older starters. I would assume this to be a very quick game; Cliff Lee will want to get everyone the hell out of here and in bed early tonight, before the Phillies begin a nine-game road trip. Lee will also throw 125 pitches if possible. Don’t think we’ll be seeing much of the bullpen this afternoon.
PHILLIES LINEUP:
Martinez SS, Brown RF, Utley 2B, Howard 1B, Ibanez LF, Mayberry CF, Valdez 3B, Sardinha C, Lee P
Your Gameday Beer – Corona
What a better beer to have on a hot, sunny day. We get you ready for Memorial Day weekend with an ice cold Corona. Lime, or no lime, it’s about as refreshing as a beer can get – and they go down smooth as hell. Be sure to stay cool if you’re in the stands at the game, but if you’re watching from home, have a few of these and get yourself a cheesesteak from Jim’s or Steve’s.
