My Fellow Phans,
A few weeks ago, today would be an off day and we would have a breather from the tough September schedule. Thanks to our ol’ buddy Hurricane Irene, the Phillies have a game today, and not just 1 game, but a doubleheader against those pesky Florida Marlins. This double billing marks the start of the Phillies final home stand where they will play 10 games in just 8 days.
Here is your preview:
Phillies (95-51 – 1st NL East) vs. Florida Marlins (67-81 – 5th NL East)
Game 1:
Kyle Kendrick (7-6, 3.29) vs Anibal Sanchez (8-7, 3.64)
Game 2:
Cliff Lee (16-7, 2.44) vs Alex Sanabia (0-0, 0.00)
Note: Both games are at Citizens Bank Park and are broadcast on CSN / 1210 AM.
Notes: The Phillies are fresh off of clinched a playoff berth and are eagerly looking at the declining magic numbers for both the division (4) and best record in the NL (5).
Thankfully, there are no hurricanes on the horizon and we should get both of these games in. Kyle Kendrick will make, what may be his first of two spot starts this week with another doubleheader looming next Tuesday. Cliff Lee will follow in the nightcap. This assures that all starters stay on their normal rest and there is not scrambling to fix the order.
There is also talk of Chase Utley returning early on during this home stand so watch out for him as well.
Until we meet again Phillies fans; happy readings and go Phillies!
