Phils season officially under way

It’s on. The Phillies 2008 season officially started at 3:08 today with Brett Myers on the mound.

Myers delivered a ball high on the first pitch to Nationals’ shortstop Christian Guzman. Myers, who also delivered the last pitch of the regular season last year, then delivered two strikes. Guzman then took a ball before popping out weakly to Chase Utley at second.

It’s drizzling and chilly under cloudy skies as the defending National League East champs kick off the 2008 season vs. the Nationals.
