I'm more of a reader than a poster, but where is everyone? The Phils
are not only the 2008 NLEast Champs again, but they are more
experienced this time around, and playing a team that they can and
should beat.

I'll be at the game tomorrow and ready for an exciting (if not easy)
series. Let's hope we get the GOOD MYERS on Thursday!!

Let's go Phillies!..... Let's go Phillies!.....

(For the next week or so, I'm also a Dodgers fan. Would like to play
them for the pennant)

I will be "at" the game toorrow. But S308 is about as far as you can be
from the field and still be in the park. Years ago I was at a playoff game
at the Vet, in far left field. I coulld not see the ball, so every play
looked like a ground ball to 1 base (as he moved). And my eyes are no
better now.

They SHOULD win but who knows. Is Sabathia pitching g2?

I don't know how many times you've been to Citizen's Bank Park, but I
think the view is pretty good from everywhere. I've been in those
sections... 308, 309, 310.. Not that bad, especially if your row isn't
too far up. But, really, you can see the game. I once sat in the 400
level, about the middle way up, just a few sections off of home
plate... the view was surprisingly good. I lucked out for this one.
I'll be in section 107, which is by the right field foul pole, foul
side of the pole. That should be pretty cool.

Yes, CC vs Myers on Thursday.

We were in RF once before. It was a day game in June or July. The sun was
beating down, and the Red Sox killed the Phils. Unpleasant. Some little old
lady selling beer carded me (I am over 50), which was really funny. When I
get seats way far out, I usually move to the SRO area behind home plate
about the 6th inning.

I usually like to get seats upstairs but inside the bag. With success, they
are selling more and more partial plans, and decent seats are hard to come
by. I may glom onto a piece of a season ticket plan next year.

I used to have a Sunday plan... got rid of those because of the sun
and heat. I do a 17 game partial plan now, mainly to get the post-
season options.
