For 3rd Consecutive Year, It's Myers

Scott Lauber reports it’ll be Brett Myers toeing the rubber with thousands of cameras on him Sunday night against the Braves. The righty will throw the first pitch of the 2009 Major League Baseball season as the Phillies opening night starter.

Jamie Moyer will pitch April 7, Joe Blanton will go April 8 and Cole Hamels will pitch April 10. Myers will take his turn April 11 and Chan Ho Park will go April 12.

Kyle Drabek will pitch tomorrow’s Grapefruit League game against the Yankees.

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.
