The Bank is open. The Phillies have officially come home. After their last exhibition game with Toronto, the Phillies left for Atlanta to start the season. Baseball starts on Easter in 2013, but the Phillies start on April Fools Day. Hopefully we can make the Upton brothers look like fools before coming home to kick this six month-long marathon off against Kansas City. Funny to think that it’s already been ten years at The Bank. I’m sure the Phillies will have plenty in store for us as we stroll down memory lane. Some good things have taken place there and we’ve also lost some friends along the way. As we celebrate a decade at The Bank, let’s get an idea of what you may get the opportunity to witness.
- Cole Hamels will win his 100th career game with just nine wins.
- Roy Halladay will win his 200th career game with his next win.
- John Lannan will win his 50th career game with eight wins.
- Jonathan Papelbon can earn his 300th career save with 43 saves.
- Ryan Howard is 80 runs batted in from 1,000.
- Chase Utley is 27 doubles from 300 and his next home run will be his 200th.
- Jimmy Rollins is 8 games from 1,800 and should surpass 1,900 as well. He is also 7 home runs from 200 and 7 runs batted in from 800.
- Michael Young is 23 home runs from 200 and 16 runs batted in from 1000.
- Charlie Manuel is 73 wins from 800 as manager of the Phillies and 53 short of 1,000 as a manager.
- The Phillies are 87 wins short of 900 in their time at Citizens Bank Park.
