Kendrick didn't have great control or command tonight and it cost him.
In which the Phillies make you feel hot, but also like dancing. Or, well, not.
The Phillies called up Michael Martinez and everyone wants to know why. TGP obtained the exclusive transcript from inside Rubens office word for word as the decision happened!! And it all makes sense now!
Phillies team stats vs. last year, and vs. the Nationals. The Nats have struggled so far, particularly at the plate, where they've been worse than any team in the NL except for the lowly Marlins.
Maybe they've slept enough of it off? Here's hoping.

A user's guide to the 15-Day DL.
The Phillies' awkward crush is back after a year. And he didn't even call once!
Michael Young has been better than many expected, while Jimmy Rollins is having another typical year for him. Which one has actually been a more valuable player to date?
The system doesn't have a seemingly infinite number of Catchers, as it seems to with Starting Pitchers, but I do need some line to act as a base, so I'll limit it to guys 25 or younger (no Kratz,...
Cliff Lee pitched a gem, and Delmon Young and Domonic Brown were the hitting stars. Don't look now, but the Phillies are 7-3 in their last 10 games.
Let me know if you can figure out how to feel about the Miami Marlins, because I sure as shootin' can't.
A high-level overview of the key players in the Phillies' system, by position and level.

Was Alex Sanabia throwing spit balls in last night's win against the Phillies? Video seems to indicate that yes, indeed, he was.
Alternate Title: Bullpen Without Organs.
Nostalgia is pretty low hanging fruit, and fortunately, I have no real journalistic ethics or sense of shame. This seems an appropriate segue into the management of the Marlins!
A phone call with my Dad prompts an interesting idea. Maybe the Phillies need to retool, not restock.
