The Phillies walked Adrian Gonzalez seven times in 13 plate appearances in sweeping the Padres last week. ... Fausto Carmona's 2007 season looks like more of a fluke every time he goes to the mound. His career record has slid below .500 even though he was 19-8 that season. ... The minute the Cubs made Michael Barrett the bad guy for the ...
