Phightins

It has been a while since the Phillies have had a stinker like this. First rough start for Kendrick in a while.

Reds-Cardinals......[expletive]

Jay Gibbons is in a Major League starting lineup tonight. /2003'd

Once a week. I have to feel clean before going to bed or I can't sleep for some reason. Also, my dog likes to take naps on my bed, which makes the cleaning even more urgent.

Sixers home opener vs. Miami. Ooooo.

Adorable. Looks just like mine did when she was a pup.

Obviously, as a Flyers fan I am happy to see the Devils get screwed here. But with that said, this was pretty bad timing for them/Kovalchuk with the players association being leaderless at the time being.

He apparently was not well liked by Zduriencik.

Interesting. Gammons just pointed out on MLBN that the top 4 college pitchers taken in the draft last year are all in the Majors now.

Arbitrator apparently rules in favor of NHL in Kovalchuk case.

Mariners fire Don Wakamatsu. I feel for him, total scapegoat. It isn't his fault that he had to manage a [expletive]ty team that was given unreasonable high expectations.

Interesting. Riley Cote retired to become an assistant coach with the Phantoms (AHL).

I thought it was fantastic, but I also know plenty of people who think it's very overrated as well.

Brad Lidge looks really really bad. Got lucky today. His fastball command is horrifically bad. I wonder how many more lights out 8th innings for Ryan Madson and tight rope walks in the 9th by Lidge Charlie needs to see to make the switch. I don't see it happening soon.

Happens that way a lot.

Hmm, would it really have been that unreasonable for Ruben Amaro to ask for Brandon Morrow from Seattle in the Cliff Lee trade?

Brandon Morrow has a no-hitter and 11 strikeouts through 6.

OK, maybe I underestimated the Phillies.

No, I just saw the Mets score 2 runs in the first inning on only one moderately well hit ball, and a bunch of dinky infield [expletive] and flukey plays. Unfortunately that should be enough for them to win since the Phillies can't hit a knuckleball for [expletive].

......Are you [expletive]ing kidding me?

Haha nope, but he was there with me last year. And I think many other Mets fans had the same idea.

He is autistic.

Some friends of mine are going up there for a game next weekend. I considered it, but don't have the money right now. Already saw Citi Field for one of the Phillies-Mets games last year.

That series doesn't start until Friday, I am going to Phillies-Dodgers on Thursday.
