Fuck-ing Wonderful

I don't need this. Really. I don't. I had hoped my days of watching Tom Goirdon close games for the Phillies were over, but alas, they are not. Hopefully this isn't too serious and Lidge will be back by mid April as expected. Still, I'm not holding my breath.

God Dammit.

Only 35 days till Opening Day.

Phils Trade Kendrick For Hot Dog Champion

Or so he was made to believe. Apparently Brett Myers was a behind the prank, and Uncle Cholly and even Ruben Amaro Jr. got in on the act. Amaro printed up documents that Kendrick had to sign in triplicate and they even got some reporters to ask him about the trade. There's video of it here.

Oh baseball. Do hurry up and get here.

Pitchers And Catchers!

The Phillies officially begin spring training today as the pitchers and catchers - as well as some of the other players - report to camp in Florida. And on Valentine's Day no less. The Phillies really know the way to a man's heart. Usually they get there and then proceed to cause immeasurable pain, but today it's different. It's a fresh start. A new season. Spring is here, even if it is 35 degrees here in Philly. I think I'm gonna wear shorts today.
