Phillies D-Backs Gamethread-Sunday.

O'Sulivan VS Collmenter. Both pitchers are struggling and give up too many runs. The bats will decide this game. The Phillies have an interesting lineup today. Blanco at second for Utley, Ruf at 1st for Howard, Hernandez at 3rd for Franco. I am hoping that Chooch hits his 1st homerun of the season today. Going for 5 in a row so the momentum is in our favor!

The Phillies just might be putting together an offense we have never seen before with the addition of Franco. I am reserving my hope and excitement until I see this new trend against stiffer competition.
