After years of beating up on the Red Sox and Yankees, Halladay gets to start his Phillies career against the Washington Nationals today.
How long before he throws his first no-hitter?
Well and here's a particularly bizarre note. For as well overall as Doc is pitching today, I saw in the SI article the fact that he faced something like 930 batters in 2009, and on only 16 of them did he go to a 3-0 count. That's just insane. Yet he's already done it twice today by the 5th inning (including walking the one leadoff guy on 4 pitches)
Seriously though how perfectly timed is it that we've got a new ace for whom complete games are everyday business at the same time we open our season with our closer on the DL (& a closer that's already got a lot of question marks carrying over from last year)

can this team challenge for the most runs scored in any one season? I don't know how many it is...but one has to think this is one of the best lineups ever assembled

Not a bad start considering we've got our #3 starter, closer and top LH reliever all on the DL at the same time.
you guys could pitch the Triple A staff with Halladay to stop any streaks and still dominate.
The Phillies can hit and defense themselves out of any hole.
I was saying to someone else recently, I love that in the first couple of seasons that CBP was open the big stigma was that we'd never be able to sign any marquee pitchers because of how much of a hitter's park it was. Now only a half a decade later, we had the best starter in baseball say we were the only team he wanted to get traded to
I'm still not used to this concept of us being the class of the NL.

From wiki on the single season team record for runs scored:
Quote:
Pre 1900: The Boston Beaneaters of 1894 scored 1220.
Post 1900: The New York Yankees of 1931 scored 1067.
Note: Major changes were made to the pitcher's area for the 1893 season. Pre 1893 pitcher's pitched on level ground within a chalked box that was 5 1/2 feet long and 4 feet wide with the back line being 55 1/2 feet from the plate. The pitcher had to start his delivery on the back line of the box. Starting in 1893 the pitching distance was lengthened to 60 1/2 feet and the box was replaced with a raised mound. A slab of rubber 12 inches long (today it is 24 inches long) was the designated starting point for a pitcher's windup. Consequently, for several years following the change, offense skyrocketed as pitchers adjusted to the longer distance.
And taking a look at our own team history for comparison, our highest season run total within the last 20 years was 892 (2007), 877 (1993), and 865 (2006). We have scored over 1000 runs three different times, but that was all back in the 1890's.

Good lord.. looking over that same sheet where I got the runs scored #'s, on baseball-reference.com, I was just looking at some of the older years. We wonder where the 10,000 losses came from, first sports franchise to reach it, well from between 1918-1945, that's 28 seasons, in only 12 of them did we not finish in 8th (dead last). The highest was 4th, that we achieved once, 5th place once, 6th place three times, and 7th place seven times.
Also in 12 different seasons did we lose at least 100 games in that span.
