Course it is. Always nice when you find something new to be negative about.

Why didn't they bring herndog up for Blanton and then activate Worley on the day he will start(Tuesday) to have an extra arm in the pen?

I don't get this. What team has depth like you are talking about? Typically, if they are good enough to play everyday, they will play everyday. Gload, Mayberry, Francisco, and possibly Orr are decent bench players. It is just when they have to start every game is when it becomes a problem. Maybe I am missing your point but it is hard enough to find a solid starting eight let alone 3 or 4 more starter types.

Worley can only come back within 15 days of being sent down if it's to replace an injured player. Blanton has to go on the DL for Worley to come up, and if they're definitely going to start Worley, there's no real advantage to doing it sooner rather than later. If they're going to start Kendrick and use Worley in relief, then sure, get him up here tonight.

In fact as Murphstud pointed out they save a few days of MLB salary for Worley by keeping him down. Plus he just pitched so he wouldn't be able to play right away anyway.

RealKen says the Phillies are interested just not interested in taking on the money or giving up the prospects it would take to get him. Great reporting.

Rube's decision to go with the LEFT WING LOCK strategy has been interesting
I know what you're asking yourself and the answer is yes. I have a nick name for my penis. Its called the Octagon, but I also nick named my testes - my left one is James Westfall and my right one is Doctor Kenneth Noisewater.
