JOE BLANTON NEWS
Meanwhile, Back in the NL East Pennant Race...
There's no doubt in my mind that the Phillies are in a class all their own in the NL East. Their hitting and fielding are absolutely elite, and they're pitching certainly can be at times. And yet, the Marlins and Braves sit just 4.5 and 5.0 games back, perfectly within nipping...
