Citizens Bank Park - Philadelphia, PA
Friday and Saturday 7:05, Sunday 1:35

Padres 62-65, Tied for 3rd Place in the N.L. West, 8 1/2 games behind the Dodgers
Phillies 50-78, 5th Place in the N.L. East, 21 1/2 games behind the Mets

Padres Probables:  Ian Kennedy (8-11, 4.01), Colin Rea (2-1, 5.52), James Shields (9-6, 3.89)

At the Ballpark:  On Saturday night, all fans will receive a Maikel Franco Phillies Fathead.  On Sunday afternoon, all kids receive a ShopRite back-to-school Phillies lunch bag.  The back-to-school Phillies giveaways always slightly depress me.

1985 Topps #242
+Ben Revere, now with the Blue Jays, is the overall team leader with a .298 batting average and 24 stolen bases.
*Cole Hamels, now with the Rangers, is the overall team leader with 6 wins, 3.64 ERA and 137 strikeouts
^Jonathan Papelbon, now with the Nationals, is the overall team leader with 17 saves.

1985 Topps Appreciation:  Other than the Carmelo Martinez card I featured a few weeks ago, there's only one other 1985 Topps Padres card with a Phillies connection.  Reliever Greg Harris spent parts of two seasons with the Phillies in 1988 and 1989.  Pitching for the Padres in 1984, Harris would appear in the lone World Series game of his 15-year career, pitching 5 1/3 innings of scoreless relief against the Tigers in Game 3.
