The Phillies obviously have to hit better than they did last night. In their limited AB, it looks like they have some guys who have hit Bergmann a little bit, so they just need to put everything together. They absolutely cannot fall to 0-3 again. It would be the third straight year they've been swept in the opening series, and they can't keep putting themselves in a hole like that.

After a fan threw a beer bottle near Victorino on Opening Day, more people decided to get into the act last night by throwing hot dogs onto the field after the game. This is a ridiculous act, and it's things like this that give Philadelphia fans the national reputation they have. I'm not happy they got one hit by a guy that spent half of March on the DL, but act appropriately.
