Dude seemed very nice, and also had a surprisingly sharp sense of humor. Cataldi asked him one leading question in which he suggested that perhaps Cole might challenge Doc for the title of "#1 starter," and Cole nicely deferred to Doc and his career's worth of accomplishments, so Cataldi came back at him with this:

"Well, you are a better hitter than Halladay, you can't deny that."

To which Cole replied:

"I know, and I'm not."

Phillies right-hander Joe Blanton played catch with head athletic trainer Scott Sheridan in shallow right field before Sunday afternoon's game against the Cubs, his first throwing session since returning to the disabled list. The two spread apart as far as 60 feet, and Blanton said he felt good after the session. Beyond that, he does not know when he may toss a bullpen session or when he'll throw next.
