UTLEY WATCH!

Chase Utley could be back in the Phillies lineup tomorrow. It’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for! If Utley does return to the lineup, either Pete Orr, Wilson Valdez, or Michael Martinez will get the boot, with Orr being the most likely. We shall see what happens. All rejoice.

DOM BROWN DEBUT

After an 0-for-4 debut, Domonic Brown will ride the bench this afternoon. Not sure why, you can’t bring this kid up, call him the future of the franchise, and not play him. You need help for a lineup that hasn’t been scoring runs (no more than 3 in a game since last Saturday), yet you continue to trot the same lineup out there? Ok.

PHILLIES LINEUP:

Rollins SS, Valdez 2B, Polanco 3B, Howard 1B, Francisco RF, Ibanez LF, Mayberry CF, Sardinha C, Oswalt P.

Your Gameday Beer– Yuengling

Yuengling Lager has never done anyone wrong. It’s a Philadelphia staple, and will continue to be, especially because it’s just known as “lager.” It’s inexpensive, tasty, and can be had on a warm day or a chilly one. It pretty much goes with any sort of food, but today we’ll be cooking up chicken sausages and baked beans along with a Phillies sweep. -by Pat
