Phillies Notes
The Phillies made a few roster moves today. First, they claimed right-handed reliever Tim Lahay off waivers from the Chicago Cubs.

“What does the possible loss of so many baseball beat writers mean for readers?”
Jim Caple of ESPN asked this question in his article today about the loss of print news, which also means the loss of jobs. The loss of jobs is never a good thing and I’m not wanting to talk about that here. Caple was speaking specifically about the loss of writing jobs covering baseball teams.

Chicago Baseball Teams Offering Heart Attacks For Only $6.75
Everyone loves food at the ballpark. I have a basic slate I go with depending on whether I’m at the Cell or Wrigley. At Wrigley I always get a foot-long or a Brat with grilled onions, nachos, and peanuts. At the Cell I get the Nachos Supreme, a hot dog, and a soft-serve ice cream in a cone (chocolate/vanilla swirl of course). That doesn’t include all the beer I inevitably...
