great win tonight in a must win game. now to win tomorrow to win the must win series. kendrick has pitched well all season long, and for some reason his name continuously comes up as the one guy on here (and other boards i post on) who would get booted for another starter. never understood that. kendrick is no great shakes but he’s a very solid #4/5 starter. i’d love to see him in that role with the phillies for years to come.

as for durbin, they HAVE to resign him. i know gillick’s policy is to not discuss contracts during the season, but he said he’d make an exception for lidge and burrell. well now it looks like it won’t happen for burrell (while gillick’s here), so you know what? make an exception for chad instead. if you were going to give out an MVP for the season so far he would have to be my #2 choice after lidge.

also, as someone said, great game for bruntlett both on offense and defense. getting a well rounded utility guy like him and freakin brad lidge for bourn and geary was such a steal on gillick’s part, it blows my mind.

At the park there’s Steve’s (is that right?), who is supposedly Jim’s son. It’s like Jim’s, I believe. You don’t need those steaks. I’d just eat at one of the known places in South Philly before the game.

Those known places are Geno’s and/or Pat’s, the big steak places in South Philly. As you’re touristing, I’d recommend going to these places first. Go to Pat’s. Better steak, IMO.

But if you don’t want to do them, head to Jim’s Steaks on South St.

Pat’s and Geno’s are places where you order outside and can eat at a table around the place. But sometimes the tables are all taken up. At Jim’s you order inside and eat inside, if seating is available (upstairs is always nice).

Lines are long at all places.

You can walk around anywhere you want until about 15 minutes before the first pitch when people start to settle into their seats, they might ask you for your ticket if your down close to the field but thats pretty much the only restriction. This is only for the infield seats though. You can walk around the stadium to get concessions and stuff all game though if thats what your asking.

Dave and Busters is awesome, hands down. The steps can get old real quick, so make dinner plans after that or something, just have something to do after that. haha

There really isnt a bad seat in the ball park, mid level is my personal favorite ( other than the Diamond Club.) Batting practice is usually about 1hr 15min before the game, try to get there by then I guess. The player I usually have the most yelling back and forth with is Victorino.

How does Kendrick put 9 guys on base in 6 IP and still get the shutout? He consistently gets out of trouble, which is great, but it never ceases to amaze me. What are batters hitting against him with RISP? It must be dirt low.
