i don't get why their tinkering with him. let him do what he did in the minors and he'll be alright.

Oswalt and Lee have gone fishing a few times while both of their families are spending the majority of Spring Training back home.

They first met in 2003 in a waiting room following surgery in Philadelphia. Oswalt was in to have groin surgery. Lee was in to have hernia surgery.

"We were so drugged up coming out of anesthesia," Oswalt said. "I remember a guy being in there with me, but I didn't know it was him at the time. He told me that he remembered me and my name. I remember he pitched for Cleveland. I never remembered his name. I remember just leaving. When I woke up, I felt like I could leave the hospital, so I told the doctor I felt great. I walked out. He was going to walk out, too, and he stood up and said, 'No, I think I'm going to stay here.' So I left. We talked [for about] an hour or two. That's the first time I ever met him. I didn't know that until I came back here."

Said Lee: "That was the only time I talked to him. I knew he was from Mississippi. I knew he was a redneck, so I figured I'd get along with him."

Yes, Roy Halladay has the Carlos Ruiz pillow/doll/toy/whatever-it-is at his home in Florida.

It's in his youngest son's bedroom.

Halladay's co-star is a pillow/doll with Ruiz's picture on it.

"I couldn't get ahold of (Ruiz)," Halladay said. "He's got like six phone numbers. I guess finally through the players' union they got ahold of him. They obviously had to get his OK to do it. They got his approval and went from there."

Halladay said he was on board with the idea of acting with a pillow from the beginning.

"There were a couple proposals early and I liked that one," he said. "It seemed to make sense. That was definitely one of my favorites."

Gearing up for the 2011 season makes you reflect on $#@! players like David Bell hitting a homerun in early April in front of about 10,000 fans at CBP....not so good times

Utley was given a cortisone shot. Phillies think it could be worse than patellar tendinitis.
