Now the best pitcher on the Phillies. Interesting, huh?

Nice little story from 2005 about the man who pitched a no-hitter on acid, quit drugs and baseball and became a mensch.

I have no idea why it’s true, but from the time I was a kid, I noticed that I simply could not get a realistic idea of how the Phillies were going to do before the end of July. (While I do watch individual games, I refuse to check their rankings until then.)

Once I got this clear in my head, I saved myself a lot of aggravation by not agonizing over stories like this.

Chase Utley and Jimmy Rollins collide going for the same ground ball, leading to an unearned run by the Mets. Bah.

I watched until the 18th inning and finally went to bed. But it was fun!

We do have one helluva pitching lineup.

A little better all the time!

To the DL.

Chase Utley.
