To tell you the truth, I haven't paid much attention to the start of the season except to hear that the Phillies, as expected, are not doing well at all. 6 straight losses in fact. And who the heck are the players? There are a few that I know-Howard, Utley, Ruiz-but the others are too new and too unknown to me to have any connection with.
Low expectations. That is the order of the day, so how wonderful to have my pals, true fans, who are just as gleeful as I am to be at the park again, sitting in our customary above homeplate, way above homeplate, seats.
The stands are relatively empty even at 7 just before the game. They fill up soon enough, certainly not like the 'good old day's of 2009-2011.
