Right you are Jerz. LA been drinking and not reading the papers. He's been working on things.

Ibanez walks and Ryan Howard grounds out ruining the Gload heroics that would have occurred had Ryno gotten on base. Gload is hitting 5th. Jeez, we gonna stink this year. Need to trade our value guys like Oswalt and Halladay and Madson.

Castillo catching them pop ups. Using two hands? Moyer is the infield coach I believe.

JRoll flashing the leather, He's ready.

Gload singles. Orr FC. Ruiz line drive single.

Vic and Polanco said they were ready, but Charlie wanted them to take an extra day off so he could watch the scrubs battling for the last few roster spots play more.

Right you are Jerz. And speaking of scrubs, Martinez FC -- 1st and 3rd for Hamels.

Expecting 3 run HR from Hamels here. He owes us big time.

This is going to become a meme for this season if the injuries keep up the way they've been going.

E-Z one; two; three for Ole. Castillo showing off the glove like a Little Leaguer today.

They have reserved parking spots for Charlie Manuel, Bill Giles, etc at the complex in Clearwater. When I was down there last week, I noticed that Smug doesn't have a spot. I thought maybe he actually used a helicopter or rode on one of those beds lifted by Roman soldiers.

Meaning he made the play on the one hopper right to him cleanly and then got the ball to first base on only one bounce?

Rollins still stinks. LA talking about how bad Castillo is -- and he takes another strike three. I love this signing. He gives hope to Little Leaguers everywhere.

Ibanez legs out the infield single (error).

Howard needs to get on base to set this inning up for Gload. Howard hit 10 homers one spring.

Castillo makes Rollins look like a Little Leaguer.

Hamels working on giving up the lead off double to Delmon Young.

Infield pop fly single. Castillo needs to teach Martinez how to catch the pop ups.

Martinez apparently wearing foggy sunglasses.

Gload messes up double but Orr heroically throws the Twin guy out at third. 2-0 Twins.

Ole not commanding the control of his fastball. Then Luke Hughes hits a monster home run.

Cole's giving up a bunch of runs. Getting it out of his system I guess.

Right you are Jerz. And speaking of systems, LA says Hamels has the dead arm. So his arm fits in with many of his team mates physical condition I guess.

Gload grounds out but the heart of the order -- Orr, Ruiz and Martinez up now. Probably only chance for the Phils to score today.

LA likes Pete Orr. Specifically his bat and his speed.

Right you are Jerz. LA is impressed by Orr getting nearly to 2B when he flies out.

Ruiz is ready. Doubles. Martinez makes an out. End of 4; 3-0 Twins.

One out single for Casilla -- 6th Twin hit already enough. No. Nishioka hits another single.

Delmon Young hits three run homer on high change-up. Jeez. Hamels stinks too.
