Ryan Howard may be back on the field before everybody had predicted. I think he’s still going to miss at least a month of the season, but he’s definitely well ahead of schedule.
Yesterday he was working out with the other Phillies who are at their training facility in Clearwater, Florida. He did a little running, [...]
Most of the citizens of the state of Pennsylvania have no idea who U.S. Senator Bob Casey Jr. is. I don’t know anything that he’s done of significance since he’s been in office. He’s what you call an empty suit who got elected because of his father, who was formerly a major politician in the [...]
Don’t look now, but the Miami Marlins could be making a splash this off-season? Jose Reyes joined team owner, Jeffrey Loria and Ozzie Gullien for lunch at Joe’s Stone Crab Wednesday afternoon, to talk baseball.

The Phillies made their first significant moves of their offseason today, declining club options on starting pitcher Roy Oswalt and reliever Brad Lidge.
