Open Thread and Ichthyomancy: Marlins at Phillies (9/7)

The Marlins will play the Phillies tonight in that launching pad they call a ballpark.  Okay, it's more of a ballpark than the Fish have and sure it's prettier.  However, if the atmospheric conditions are just right routine fly balls turn into home runs.

The Marlins starting pitcher is Byung-Hyun Kim.

The Phillies plan to send J.D. Durbin to the hill.

Game time is 7:05 p.m.

These same two pitchers met up in their last start which took place in JRS.

Kim got the win going five innings and giving up four earned runs. Oh, thanks to Kim, FishStripes was linked to by a site which I presume is written in Korean. I don't know that for sure since my Korean is a little rusty. But anyway here is the site if you want to take a look.

Durbin on the other hand got shelled in the game.  One that he didn't log an out and gave up seven earned runs.  Durbin is normally better at home than he is on the road. Go figure.

If you would like to checkout the pulse of the Phillies fans, The Good Phight is the place to be.

Ichthyomancy is front and center.
