How inspiring would it be to see the afterthoughts of the Phillies rotation taking charge!  They didn’t, though.  In fact Joe Blanton actually got worse.

Dave will be joining Jack Cust in Lehigh Valley with a crisp new Minor League contract to call his own.  From Berwyn, PA originally, Dave is exemplifying the terrifying notion that fate allows no one to escape the firm, yet mundane grip of the Keystone State.  It haunts its natives; in time, dragging back all those who attempt to flee its borders and forcing them into the dull existence offered by pretty much any city between Philadelphia and Pitttsburgh.

Whether or not the horror of this reality will affect Bush’s mentality on the mound is yet to be seen.

PICTURED: Man grappling with inevitability.
