March 27, 2009 - Phillies Breakfast Links

by WholeCamels on Mar 27, 2009 7:56 AM EDT

Yankees defeat the Phillies 10-2, the Phils' two runs coming off back-to-back solo home runs in the first by Chase Utley and Ryan Howard in the first inning off Joba Chamberlain. Scott Eyre, flush with cash and distracted by red bikinis, gets lit up for five runs in one inning.

Kyle Kendrick also got shelled in his first minor league outing. Antonio Bastardo took a beating, too.

Chad Durbin, undergrad at University of Phoenix, has something to prove.

Hank Aaron annoints Chase Utley the best player in baseball.

Happ and Coste considered favorites for remaining roster spots. Hopefully Coste's family can remain dry.

Greg Dobbs: More than just a pair of sideburns.

Aaron Boone recovering nicely after heart surgery.

The Phillies will be wearing these gold-trimmed atrocities on Opening Night. CHA CHING!

"New" menu offerings at Citizens Bank Park (warning: annoying slideshow). Strawberry shortcake at a baseball game is an abomination.

I gotcha some nightcrawlers!

Even though the bulk of the film takes place in Minnesota, I hereby designate this a Fargo discussion thread.

Anyone know how Campo's cheesesteaks are? Never had.

No Idea...

…But I am really excited about the vegan option. Being vegetarian really limits your options at the old ballpark.

Not vegan...

But sympathetic to those who are. I’ve heard that CBP is the “most vegetarian-friendly” ballpark in the country. If that’s the case, I’d hate to see how bad the others are. I mean, BULL’S BBQ = flagrantly non-veggie.

I don’t think you’re ever going to get a definitive answer to the Cheesesteak Question. Everyone has their own preferences, so you’re never really going to know from afar. You just have to get up to your greasy elbows and try ’em all, I guess.

Good point.

I’m a huge cheeststeak fan and according to the unbiased review on Campo’s website, they are the best in Philly.

Just don’t go to pat’s or geno’s

"Someone created the box score," Morey says, "and he should be shot."

Blocked shots — they look great, but unless you secure the ball afterward, you haven’t helped your team all that much.

Moyer and Lidge shelled today.

Looks like they just left Moyer in an inning too long. But Lidge, I don’t know what the deal is. Is he injured?

He barely threw a pitch in last year’s ST and did pretty OK. Could be working on location. I’ll hold off on judgement until I see him pitch a few more times.
