Gameday: Phillies (53-44) At Marlins (50-46)

Jamie Moyer moved to 10-0 against the Marlins and the Phillies moved to 12-4 on Fridays with a big 4-2 win. They’re back alone in first place.

Of course, the Phils are 11-4 on Saturdays. Ouch. But today Kyle Kendrick goes to the hill to face the Fish. He’s 8-3 this season, and the Phils win a lot when he pitches. Here’s hoping that happens again.

They’ll have to do it against Florida starter Scott Olsen. The lefty is 5-4 with a 3.77 ERA this season, and loves facing the Phils. Today’s game is FOX’s Game of the Week, so the whole country will be watching the Phils. Well, almost the whole country. New Englanders will get blacked out watching the Red Sox.

Scott Olsen (5-4) 3.77 ERA

MLB Gameday

Your gamenight beer: Back to Sam Adams, and it’s time for an Irish Red. Like many Irish reds, it’s full-bodied and not a bad sipper. Usually a good beer around September, I’m bringing this one in early, as this weekend resembles the kind of September baseball required out of great teams. Let the September play continue.

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.
