Brief post, but for the first of what will be many many times, the Phils won today! Sure, it was only against Florida State University, and sure hardly any regulars played for more than a few minutes, but it's always nice to start the season off on the right foot with an 8-0 victory.
I didn't watch it or listen, but my twitter feed was blowing up... Ryan Howard crushed a 2 run double in his first at bat, Dom Brown looked solid in the field, and Drew Naylor/Eddie Bonine/Michael Stutes/Justin DeFratus/Michael Schwimmer/Scott Matheison combined for a 4 hitter.
Clearly, this means the Phillies are on pace for a 162-0 season, zero runs against, and letting up a measly 648 hits on the season. Considering Cliff Lee & Roy Halladay are likely to pitch at least 4 no-hitters each and Cole Hamels & Roy Oswalt are due for one a piece, that means Joe Blanton will give up roughly 600 hits this season... and somehow he will still win 13 games.
