McCaffery: Don’t expect a Philly title anytime soon

The Phillies had a chance to be a dynasty, but jettisoned Cliff Lee. They’ve always been at their best when reducing their show to a fireworks display, and so they again were satisfied with the short burst of noise and sparkle.

The farm system is ordinary. The ballpark, delightful, will grow boring within the next two years — as all retro-parks do. When the crowds thin, so will the income. And when that does, the small-market reality will resurface. Prepare, in other words, for a decade of bobblehead nights.

What the sam hell is he talking about?

Lakewood 11, West Virginia 5 CHARLESTON, W.Va. - The BlueClaws topped the Power in a South Atlantic League game. Sebastian Valle doubled in a run in the first and homered to lead off the sixth. Jonathan Singleton hit a grand slam in the top of the eighth.

Valle and Singleton are just crushing the ball right now. Really good stuff.
