The Phillies look to sweep the Nationals today at 4:35 p.m. Roy Halladay and Cole Hamels got wins in the first two games and both got big time support from the offense to the tune of 19 runs through the first two games. Ryan Howard hit bombs in both affairs and looks to extend that streak again tonight. Not only do the Phillies play extremely well done in D.C. (well, the Nats aren't very good either), but Philly fans travel extraordinarily well down there. The stadium seems to be almost half Phillies fans. On Opening Day, Jayson Werth said that it seemed as though the entire rightfield bleachers were Phillies faithful. Not only that, they were loud enough to do the "SUCKS" chant during Nationals player introductions! In their own ballpark! Now, it may not be classy, but that doesn't bother me one bit. If the Phillies can travel down to D.C. and bash in the Nats for a whole series (or season), then why can't the fans go down there and bash their fans as well! Kendrick takes the mound to try and bring home the sweep.
