But we’ve all seen Ryan Howard hit home runs. Let’s switch to pitching before I get myself murdered by one of my heroes.

He’s getting “reevaluated” today. Maybe that’s something they do with one hand on the “Old Yeller” rifle.

Maybe I consider the Phillies a family and get upset when people try to break up said family. Maybe I take things a little too personally and mail out one too many death threats without properly cleaning off my fingerprints. Maybe I need to dispose of the magazines from which I cut out my letters for the notes in a trash can without my address on it.

So, with the heavens wide open, we’ve got no Grapefruit League game to preview, or review, or do whatever the hell we do here, so instead, I’m going to fill up this space with some stuff I found.

Is Jamie Moyer unkillable? TBOH says a resounding, terrified, “YES.”

Facing the Blue Jays again, the Phillies looked up and saw none other than Kyle Drabek, formerly known as the Phillies prospect other GMs would salivate over, only to see Ruben Amaro Jr. shaking his head and glaring.

But Shane did throw in a single for the cause and “experienced no problems with his right shoulder,” which was good, no matter who’s haunted facial hair was taking control of the game.

And FINALLY, we are going to talk about him on That Balls Outta Here. Prepare yourselves.

Some people just find the relentless verbal abuse of Citizens Bank Park alluring. I guess.

Have you ever seen Domonic Brown play baseball? Have you ever seen the sun set over the Grand Canyon? And then beat the throw to first?
