So Far in 2011: The Braves won two out of three when these teams first faced each other in Atlanta back in mid-May. Since then, they've been the hottest team in baseball and they have the best road record in the National League at 25-18. This should be fun.

At the Ballpark: Saturday afternoon is Photo Day when fans will be permitted to mill about the field, behind a roped off area, and take pictures of the players as they briskly walk by. All fans will also receive a 2011 Phillies team photo. If you're going to this game, and if you happen to have an unwanted extra team photo, I'd gladly take it off your hands. And I'd then say pleasant and complimentary things about you on this very blog.
