  • The Trade Deadline

    A co-work­er said that it was “depress­ing” that I was already talk­ing about look­ing for­ward to the Phillies next sea­son. I told him that once upon a time I’d have felt that way in April!

  • Get Ready for the 2010 Phillies

(Thanks, dude! I hope you find a team soon!) This is our third…
