Wednesday Phillies Breakfast Links

Raul Ibanez discusses longtime teammate Alex Rodriguez.

Charlie Manuel gives his Spring Training address: "Just do what you did last year."

Phillies top prospect Carlos Carrasco attempts to crack the rotation.

So does J.A. Happ. I recommend they settle this with a Thunderdome-style battle (although the lame example below appears to be from the Burning Man Festival. The guy on the left, Dave Pritchard, is VP, Accounts Receivable, for a large shipping company; on the right, Sam Palmer, equity partner for a major California law firm. They're fighting over the last dose of Ketamine.)...

Brad Lidge would name names.

I can think of at least one thing wrong with this headline...

Former Phillies farmhand Mike Costanzo to play for Italy in World Baseball Classic.

Did You Read The Jenkins Piece?

He said:

‘’I wasn’t going to let [my lack of playing time] ruin my experience,‘’ he said. ’’I told myself that I was the veteran guy who knows the game and has been around the game and is going to cheer for his teammates. Sometimes your role is not always what you envision it to be, but I just told myself that I’m going to flourish in this role for the rest of the season and when I get my opportunity I’m going to take advantage of it.’’

Maybe he didn’t flourish but, no doubt, he made the team better with his presence.

Can you imagine Reyes saying something like that?

Man, we got a team!

Yeah, I liked that Jenkins piece. Though not as much as I dislike that uppercut of his… still, seems like a class act. I hope we can trade him to the AL and that he thrives there.
