Their stud young shortstop Yunel Escobar even missed the past two games after injuring his hand while bunting. It's not good news, but here's   more...

Mike Hampton did what only Mike Hampton can do - re-injure himself. It's not as bad as the original injury though... How many times can this guy injure himself in one season? He's got to have set some sort of a record by now.

What's not the shocking part is the money, Barry will get a reported 126 million over 7 years with an option for an 8th year giving the total deal a possible 137 million value.

This offseason I've broken down and offered my opinion on the NL East outfields and infields so far, and the Phils have naturally won each of the polls. Now it's time to check out the rotations. However, with the Mets addition of some dude named Johan, this is merely for formality.*Career won/loss   more...
