One positive note, Ryan should always swing at the first pitch because he hits .348 when he does.
Phillies are 29th in runs scored and rank 28th batting average. We are only a hitter or two away from
a big improvement. With Joseph playing as a regular we are on the way! One power hitting outfielder who can hit around .270 or more could be the missing piece.
He needs to be more worried about the exit velocity of angry fans' wrists when throwing bottles at himHoward in the lineup tonight. With his recent exit velocity I predict he hits 2 HRs, maybe 3 tonight.
Was Retro at the game last night? I heard when the bottle throwing incident happened a drunken fan was spotted leaving the scene muttering something about "Dainbread"He needs to be more worried about the exit velocity of angry fans' wrists when throwing bottles at him
It can't be him. Retro doesn't drink, curse, smoke, or have a cell phone. He's basically Jesus. He's even Jewish, and thinks he's the Son of GodWas Retro at the game last night?

Update: Remember when Darling wrote that book about mixing Dexedrine and booze to potentiate its effects and everyone laughed? Well I recently personally found out he may be right. I knew that coke and alcohol mix together well, but I never heard anything about other stimulants. Well I was up the other night and decided to drink some to go to bed- but I became even more awake and higher. Then I looked it up and found that Focalin, or methylphenidate a stimulant, mix with alcohol to make ethylphenidate, much like cocaethylene. Now I haven't found anything about amphetamines with alcohol, and methylphenidate is more similar to coke than amphetamines, but it would make sense for a similar combination to take place.Was Retro at the game last night?

Ron Darling is in his his grandmom's kitchen eating homemade chocolate chip cookies nodding with approval. "Finally, people realize that I DO know what I'm talking about. Now I need to come up with that 100 grand for Bill James so he can invent that baseball statistic that only I was good at, then everyone will realize that I'm not such a failure!"
Ok, maybe just one. But my predictions are getting betterHoward in the lineup tonight. With his recent exit velocity I predict he hits 2 HRs, maybe 3 tonight.
