What is the story about?
As
much as the MLB schedule makers made it difficult for the Phillies on Monday, they cut their fans a break today. The Phillies will play the final game of this series with the Brewers at 4:10 pm today, which should lead nicely right into the banner raising ceremony for the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles before they take on the Dallas Cowboys in the opening game of the NFL season. Hopefully the Phillies don’t sour the mood.
