Return of the Wolf Pack?
I'm sure there were fan groups in Philly long before Randy Wolf hit town as a Phillies pitcher but I think the Wolf Pack was really the first group that I recall seeing at games. The former Phillie will return to CBP to start the final game of the Padres three game set. Both teams have taken one game so far and a win tonight will get you the series.
Wolf was a solid pitcher for the Phils but opted to go pitch in his native sunny California to close out his career. His final games as a Phillie were mixed, but here's to hoping he gets rocked tonight. On the mound for the Phillies is one of the guys Pat Gillick brought in to replace Wolf, Adam Eaton. Eaton has pitched surprisingly well so far this year. Maybe he can finally notch a win.
The question remains, will there be a Wolf Pack sighting tonight at CBP?

I don't understand how Randy Wolf could possibly be pitching tonight. I thought that he learned to play outfield and changed his name to Geoff Jenkins. Take a look at these two pics... try to convince me he's not the same guy.

I have to agree. I liked him when he was here but he left on not-so-good terms (if I recall correctly he cursed our ballpark out something fierce). I honestly hope he strains something in his neck from watching his pitches fly out of the park.

Wolf was a solid pitcher for the Phils but opted to go pitch in the biggest park in baseball to close out his career.
Fixed.

Randy looks like he's on acid in that picture.

Anyone remember those pics of him trolling for ladies at PSU? Or did I imagine those?

@Rico
Jenkins isn't in the lineup against the left Wolf. There's definitely something fishy going on there, in a "Guy Incognito" kind of way.

Couldnt see any of the games because i dont get CN8 and these dumb things called playoffs took up the comcast spots where the phillies games would have been. But hey we got two out of three. Kidding about the playoff things im a Flyers fan first and foremost.
