Phillies 2011 A Game By Game Review

Phillies 2011 A Game By Game Review


I thought that it might be an interesting experiment to try and keep a diary of sorts for the 2011 baseball season for the Philadelphia Phillies.
Sometimes I'll comment while I'm watching the game but usually it will be after the game is over.
This will evolve as the season goes along, 162 games is a lot of games to write on.

Reason being the extremely high expectations put on the team due to the signing of Cliff Lee on December 25 2010 and of course already having Roy Oswalt, Cole Hamels and of course the best pitcher currently in the league Roy Halladay.

One other reason is that I thought it would be interesting to go back and read what I was thinking throughout the season.


I planned on starting this from the first day of the season but out of simple laziness, didn't.


Today is April 16th and as it stands, they're record is 9-4.

So let me start from game one.



GAME ONE - Phillies vs Houston Astros home game.


Great pre game ceremony having fans on the field to shake the players hands as they come in from the bullpen.



Brett Myers actually out pitched Halladay through 6 innings and Halladay leaves the game trailing 1-0.


J. C. Romero and Herndon come in and promptly give up 3 runs leaving the Phils down 4-1.


The Phils had ten hits, most coming late in the game.

My mood while watching was blah another typical Bad game on an opener by the Phils.

They managed 2 runs in the 7th making it a 4-2 game so there was some hope.

The Phils made it a memorable opening day after scoring 3 in the 9th after a pinch single by Mayberry to win the game.


Mood is now great after it being very low during the first few innings.


Record 1-0
