Opening Day pics in real time

Courtesy of Mike, who is in attendance at today's Phillies season opener against the Washington Nationals (who made a statement that they are nobody's doormat when they beat the Atlanta Braves, 3-2, in dramatic fashion last night with a 9th-inning walk-off home run by Ryan Zimmerman), we will be posting pics from the ballpark in real time or as close to that as I can (all times approximate).

12:30 p.m. - With a light rain falling, here is a shot of the field:



Updated 12:40 p.m. - So Taguchi:



And Mike reports that Werth is starting in right field.

More updates as they come in...

Updated 4:30 p.m. - I can only assume a combination of the rain and Brett Myers' 5th-inning meltdown has left Mike's phone inoperable as no updates have been forthcoming in the past four hours.

Updated after the final out - I'm looking forward to hearing from Mike (a) why the updates stopped, (b) when he left the game, and (c) if Tom Gordon looked as bad as he sounded on the radio.
