Gameday: Phillies (0-2) Vs. Nationals (3-0)

First the pitching went down the toilet. Then the hitting went down the toilet. So now, they have to both get it together, right?

Hopefully the Phillies can avoid the sweep as they take on the Nationals for the season’s first Business Person’s Special. The ageless Jamie Moyer will trot out to begin his 23rd Major League season. He’ll face Jason Bergmann, who will begin his fourth.

And today the Phillies will sport their new, alternate uniforms. Should be a nice sight.

Phillies: Jamie Moyer (0-0), 0.00 ERA
Nationals: Jason Bergmann (0-0), 0.00 ERA

Gametime: 1:05 p.m.
Weather: 52 degrees, partly cloudy
Lineup: Rollins/Victorino/Utley/Howard/Burrell/Jenkins/Feliz/Coste/Moyer

Your gameday beer: Jamie Moyer, 45, is the oldest player in Major League Baseball. As he begins his 23rd season, we look back at his humble beginnings in Chicago and celebrate him with an Old Style Beer. It’s a bit classier than your regular Bud, and it actually goes down smoother than most other macro brews. Drink yours â€” you can get it in Reading â€” with a nice grilled sausage.

Go Phillies!

Tim first found the Phillies as a little infant at Veteran’s Stadium, cheering on a Juan Samuel game-winning home run in his very first game. With the pinstripes in his blood, he witnessed Terry Mulholland’s 1990 no-hitter, “Steve Carlton Night” at the Vet, game three of the 1993 World Series, countless games during the charmed 2008 championship season and various road excursions. Since November 2007 Tim’s been writing about them daily at Phillies Nation, becoming one of the world’s most popular Phillies scribes. You can catch him on Twitter and Facebook, as well. When he’s not talking about the Phils he’s relaxing with a St. Bernardus ABT 12 or one of his many favored brews.
