How can the Phillies be 21-18? There's no way in hell they actually have a winning record. Was there a misprint somewhere along the line that went unnoticed that lead to this standings gaffe? When I watch this team, or listen to this team, or even read about this team, my initial thought isn't   more...

Ryan Howard was the 2006 MVP. An average of .313, over 50 HR and 149 RBI. Since then all his numbers have done is plummet. Well, his strikeouts have gone way up. He won his arbitration hearing and is earning 10 million dollars this year. His stats say he isn't earning a dime.
