On the strength of some decent pitching by Brett Myers and the bat of Pat Burrell, the Phils dispatched the Cubs last night in game 1 of the series down at CBP. Tonight, Cole Hamels takes on Ted Lilly, who has struggled so far but has decent numbers against the Phillies. Chicago's #2 starter, Lilly is a disappointing 0-1 with a 9.72 ERA over 2 starts. His K totals are down, and hopefully they stay there as the lefty faces a lineup that can bomb out any pitcher who doesn't have his best stuff, but also struggles against south paws. It's a beautiful night for a few hours at the Park, and we could see some long balls tonight.
