Rich Hofmann: Phillies' Cliff Lee reminiscent of another Lefty

JILL PAINTER: Randy Wolf's mom hoping to add to memorabilia collection
Randy Wolf was a good Phillie and I wish him the best, but if the Phillies run into him in the postseason I hope he gets crushed.
"The one thing he stressed was: 'This isn't us,' and that hit home," Werth said. "Even though he was ripping into us, he was still very positive. I've played for people that tend to go 'negativetown' pretty quickly. With Charlie, there's always a positive undertone, and that makes a big difference."
Jayson Werth, after Charlie's closed-door meeting with the team after the sweep against Florida earlier this month. I love Charlie.
Myers throws scoreless inning in rehab outing with Lakewood
