A Note for Tonight:

After a winning road trip, the Phillies must come home and do some damage against division rivals over the next five games. It begins tonight against the Mets. The problem is the weather – it’s downright brutal at CBP and doesn’t look to get any better. They’ll do whatever they can to get this game in because tomorrow is supposed to be worse with up to five inches of rain falling by tomorrow night. Look for an ugly, low scoring game. The Phillies don’t seem to play well in frigid temps, and that could continue tonight.

Lineup:

Revere CF / Rollins SS / Utley 2B / Byrd RF / Howard / Brown LF / Ruiz C / Nix 3B / Hamels P
