The offseason has given me an opportunity to try and come up with some features on the site that those who stop by might find useful.

The sidebar now has a link under the “Pages” section entitled “2009 Phillies Schedule“.

This page will be updated daily with the previous games information, as well as providing a link to the boxscore on ESPN.com.

You can certainly get this information in a bunch of different places, but what I like about this is that the columns are sortable so you can sort the Phillies games throughout the year by how many runs they scored or gave up, who the pitcher of record was for the Phils, as well as opponents and more.

Feel free to bookmark the link to track throughout the season.

***********************************************

The Phils won their second consecutive spring training game this afternoon over the Braves in Lake Buena Vista, FL. Brett Myers and Chan Ho Park each pitched 3 innings. Myers game up 2 runs on 3 hits, but walked no one. No BBs is always a good thing when it comes to Mr. Myers. Park gave up 4 hits, including a home run to Brian McCann.

Marcus Giles had a good game, going 2-3 with 2 runs scored and an RBI.

The Phils play the Blue Jays on the road in Dunedin, FL tomorrow. According to Todd Zolecki, Carlos Carrasco and J.A. Happ are both scheduled to pitch.
