@2008Philz It has to be Nola. I get that Wheeler is the better pitcher but Nola is the longest tenured Phillie, he deserves it.
@2008Philz We all know Wheeler is the Ace but I agree with the majority of comments on this. Nola should definitely get the nod on Opening Day. Either way Go Fightins’!!
@2008Philz Cole hamels only having 2 opening day starts for how great he was is truly astonishing
@2008Philz 2 modern observations. 1- Hellickson years were dark years 2- would've bet good money Schilling got opening day in 93, not Terry
@2008Philz Omar Daal in 01 is hilarious. I’m surprised Randy Wolf isn’t on here
@2008Philz @jelynchjr Hellickson? Have zero recollection of that. Like none.
@2008Philz Omar Daal lol. Centerpiece of the Schilling trade.
@2008Philz Any idea how Kaat started over Carlton in 1976?
