So it happened: Ryan Howard is back in the Phillies lineup, and who could have imagined the desperate situation he would in which he'd find himself upon his return? Not I, of course. Fooey.

Howard will be facing Tim Hudson for the Braves (Howard's three homer game against Huddy is one of my favorites of the past few seasons). Kyle Kendrick (sigh) goes for the Phillies.
