Gamenight: Braves (19-19) At Phillies (22-18)

After a nice win yesterday against the Braves, the Phils will come right back against another Atlanta left-hander. This time it’s future Hall of Famer Tom Glavine. The Phils counter with probable non-Hall of Famer Brett Myers.

Myers needs to keep the ship floating tonight. He’s been brutal for the most part this season. The offense picked up last night with nice performances by Ryan Howard and Jayson Werth. Here’s hoping it continues and Glavine gets knocked around like a little doll.

Phillies: Brett Myers (2-3) 5.33 ERA
Braves: Tom Glavine (0-1) 4.03 ERA

Gametime: 7:05 p.m. EST
Weather: 71 degrees, mostly cloudy
Lineup: Rollins, Victorino, Utley, Howard, Burrell, Werth, Feliz, Coste, Myers

Your gamenight beer: By the end of the season I will have recommended every one of the Sam Adams beers. There are I believe 21 of them, at least off the top of my head. This one, Cream Stout, is heavy by the naked eye, but delicious and milky with hints of coffee. Have it with peanut butter crackers â€” supposedly if you have it with PB you’ll be having an orgasm. We’ll see.

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.
