Grade 1 thumb sprain for Victorino

Victorino to the DL, Brown called up

The Philadelphia Phillies have a miserable outfield. So much so that the 610 WIP mid-day crew of Glen Macnow and Anthony Gargano were discussing the worst Phillies outfields of all time.

Over the course of a year, a lot can happen in sports. And probably in business. And in life too, we guess. But definitely in sports, things happen quite a bit.

Milt Thompson fired by Phillies

Of all the potential concerns that the Philadelphia Phillies would have this season, they didn’t include hitting. How would Cole Hamels do? Could Brad Lidge regain his 2008 form? Will the bullpen be able to get it done?

CC Sabathia to get rocked again by Victorino?

Every single media outlet (besides Philadelphia) and every single ‘expert’ (besides John Kruk) are taking the easy way out and picking the New York Yankees to win the World Series.  It’s possible the Yankees could be the most overrated and over-hyped baseball team to ever play the sport.  It’s also possible they aren’t.  Only the [...]
