Baseball Card Companies Trying to Profit From Dead Guys' Hair
As some of you may remember, I went through a baseball card kick after a trip to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown a few summers back. Many of the "chase" cards like a piece of Ryan Howard's autographed bat seemed like cool things to have. Baseball card companies didn't stop with bats, ...

The Phillies are back where they belong. Thanks to a huge day at the plate by Ryan Howard, the Phillies beat the Braves 8-7, and, with the Mets losing again, vaulted back into first place in the NL East. The Phillies have now won 5 games in a row while the Mets have now lost 4 of their last 5. Seems a lot like 2007, doesn't it?

Some of the...

yeah i got more stats than tim mccarver
*Walking the leadoff batter is bad. (Myers)
*Making an error on a groundball as an outfielder is really bad. (Werth)
*Popping up foul to the 3rd baseman with no outs and men on 1st and 2nd on the 1st pitch of the at bat just after the previous batter walked is horrible. (Victorino)
*Watching 3 strikes go by without swinging with a runner on 3rd and only 1 out is f'n horrible. (Dobbs)
Game far from over, but it's be terrible so far.
