Pitchers and Catchers 2011


Phillies fans we are 2 weeks away until pitchers and catchers report to that lovely spot called Clearwater, Florida. The Phillies have assembled one of the greatest starting rotations in the history of this franchise, possibly in the entire game of baseball. On February 13th Roy, Cliff, Roy and Cole will join the rest of the pitching staff to knock the rust off and toss the ball around. Experts and fans are predicting this season to be one of the most successful in franchise history, even if the pitching staff has an average season their could be two twenty game winners and this team could surpass 100 wins while locking up the NL East early. It's great to look at this team in the playoffs because against any team they will have a huge advantage on the mound. October is so far away right now. Looking out the window and the walls of snow are everywhere it's hard to imagine the sounds of summer at Citizens Bank Park, but it all starts in 2 weeks when the Fightin Phils join up and begin the journey to a parade down Broad Street. Believe.
