Dust off those Phillies shirseys (shirt-jersey) and jerseys you thought you wouldn't be using this year, the Phillies are 1-0 and started this year off with an unexpected offensive explosion in today's most exciting opening game. If you predicted two touch downs by the Phillies in their opening game vs. the Texas Rangers today then head to your nearest lottery ticket provider immediately. Seen as one of the club's bigger question marks entering the season, the offense looked like a well oiled machine today posting a whopping 14 runs out scoring the Rangers 10. Since 2011 the Phillies offense has been sputtering, dropping all the way to 26 of 30 last year at just
3.77 runs per game. If you clicked on that link, take note of the four teams under the Phillies for the 2013 season...not pretty. Anyways, they lead the league so far this year with 14 runs per game and finally the team's key contributors on offense are all fully healthy. While today's outburst was terrific, consistency is a must if this team wishes to make some noise one last time. Lets take a look at some of the highlights from today's game.
