Phightins

Raul Ibanez extends his hitting streak to 17 games. Make that 2 bright spots. No, 3. Ross Gload has 2 homeruns and continues to rake.

Phillies bullpen = not good.

Does that really surprise either of you?

Dom Brown's first MLB HR. At least there is one bright spot tonight.

Sorry, I just get a kick out of Heat fans complaining about getting "screwed over".

The bottom of the Dodgers lineup consists of Jay Gibbons, Jamey Carroll, Brad Ausmus, and Vicente Padilla, yet this can still happen. Sigh.

Yadier Molina mocking Phillips' celebration as he rounded 2nd after the HR = double win.

Also, lol @ ESPN.com continuing to have the blue spotlight on the Nationals score during Strasburg's starts. Oh, never change, Worldwide Leader.

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?
