No, not literally.

The Fightins
| Comments
By now I’m sure everyone is well-aware that the Brad Lidge of 2008 is dead and gone, so we’re stuck with the worst relief pitcher in the majors (statistically) who has an easier time hitting batters than he does the strike zone. And now with the season winding down,...

David Bell, one of the Phillies worst 3rd baseman of all time, is now coaching the Carolina Mudcats and teaching their players how to suck as much as he did. To no one’s surprise the Mudcats are 10 games below .500 on the year and have no shot at getting a play off spot.
