A postcard from friends from this year's Fan Appreciation Day.Specifically, it's Halladay, Oswalt, and Hamels against Volquez, Arroyo, and Cueto. And it all starts at 5:07 on Wednesday in Philadelphia. The forecast is for cool weather and showers, probably much like today, which this morning is feeling chilly. Not exactly Charlie Manuel's 'hitting weather', but I do hope the Phillies are in an offensive frame of mind. The Reds are sure to be.
Carlos Ruiz says he is sore but hopes to be ready for Wednesday. X-ray results were negative but he will see team doctors today. J.C. Romero, who left yesterday's game with a back problem, says that he will be ready to go. Here comes Antonio Bastardo!
