Phils hold off Pirates for 6-5 win!

The Phillies are having thier best April in years as they build a big lead, then hold on for the close win.

Lidge continues to be lights out!!

On a side note, a couple of my friends went to check out the game, and couldn't say enough great things about the park, and the fans!

Sounds like you folks in Pittaburg have a real winner there!

We all love Citizens Bank Park, but my friends exact words were, "this is the best ball park I've ever seen."

High praise indeed. They are heading back out later this year, I think I'll join em!

Re: Phils hold off Pirates for 6-5 win!

Actually, it's PNC Park, Phils... and it is absolutely gorgeous, from what little I've seen.

Even though yesterday was a loss for the Bucs, I'm proud of the way they battled back. Still concerned about the starting pitching, obviously. Good game for Coste. Gave you guys three hits and drove in three runs. Utley at first base... interesting move. How do you think that worked out?

Citizens Bank Park is the name of our park. I just meant that as much as we like ours, my friends were blown away by PNC park!

Re: Phils hold off Pirates for 6-5 win!

I though that move worked out pretty well with Chase at first.

Howard needs to get his strikeouts fixed. He is getting to be too easy an out to have in the lineup. If he had 8-10 homer, and somemore RBI's, it would be so bad, but his struggles are getting to be a problem.

Chase and Burrell hitting well have eased the blow a bit, but when they cool off, Ryan Howard has got to be able to step it up.

Re: Phils hold off Pirates for 6-5 win!

I too was at the game. I also bummed off a pair of tickets to the last St Louis game too. Great park. The Phils had me scarred there for a second, but were able to hold onto the lead, great to end the game in a strikeout. Sadly my semester at Pitt is over and I'm back in Lancaster PA, on the bright I suckered my Dad into buying Sixers tickets for game 4! What a great weekend for me. Finals are over and i get to see 3 Pro games in 4 days.
