Darrin Ruf said what really hurt was the BatBoy--even he ignored him:)
Steve Carlton had his baseball Guru who he was in contact constantly about his mechanics---we need find a guru for Kendricks--but with Carlton, his Guru preached Cat-Like focus, and to get a rhythm of FAST--don't drift and ponder--are Jekyl and Hyde Kendricks at times has it right andother times--OMG TheHorror!(VBG:)
i am NOT catholic, but because of my wife i can do the beads--i am going to do a Hail Mary for Vick, damned he needs all the help he can get.
i do hope Halladay has a decent last outing---he should NOT have pitched last time and i am PISSED at medical guy that said to Halladay --don't worry, your fine.
Cripes if Halladay thinks he should NOT pitch, you just AGREE and shut your mouth.
He only piched that last game because some Doctor, said your fine--i love it NOT! when Doctors tell you your fine when you say your shoulder is having painful spasm.
i am just glad we have a guy named Foles on the sidelines, even though he has never played in regular season game--just think he is so POISED.. Sunday night let me be smiling about 11:30PM.

Jerry Darrin Ruf another towering home-run; Now 8RBIs 2 hrs and BA .333 in about what, 8 days?
Got feel good about that. They seeing Ruf playing first against lefties if Howard goes into one his 0 for 20 against lefties, plus he could win LF position---his spring training will be watched CLOSELY-Amaro has got to be having happy fantasies about Ruf proving the real thing--longterm--keeping in mind no one saw this coming.
i hope Haladay doesn't pick up a baseball for 2 months--just let the sore area completely heal and then start to slowly work your arm back into condition i then think he will be fine---i do NOT think it was COMPLETELY healed before he returned--he ended his season with a sore shoulder.
i hope Phils are talking with Utley what is he doing WRONG to the come to spring training unable to play.
i personally suspect this work-out addict may well be stressing out this bd knee with winter work-outs.
Cloyd was sat down because of arm fatigue--keep in mind he threw a lot of pitches before he came to Philly.
Howard vanished because he accidently dropped weighted work out 'bat' on his toe--small fracture.
He says he very unhappy about his .219 average but he looks at his RBIs and HRs and says, that something to feel good about. He feels , with spring training, that BA will go up.
And lastlly, the Phils AT LEAST made my target of 81 wins--but could end up with 83.
B.J.Rosenberger--i can see why Phils refused to quit on the kid. He got his ERA down to 6 after it was like 15:)
i see a lot of reasons to feel good about next year--we will, i feel be in a battle for division title with the Nats and Atlanta--and will be the best division in Baseball.
So that's my wrap up for Phils 2012. later, Max
