He only sucks if you like when your first baseman attempts to throw the ball to second it goes there instead of left field. Although I will say, I think he is better at digging balls out of the dirt now than he was earlier in his career.

He's only made 1 error this season and he'll win the Gold Glove.

A Gold Glove is kinda like a Noble Peace Prize. They are pretty #$&! pointless anymore.

Morosi adds that the Phillies and Cardinals are among the teams that have checked in with Padres GM Jed Hoyer on relievers Heath Bell and Chad Qualls.

ALLENTOWN, Pa. - The Phillie Phanatic was taken to the hospital after being struck by a foul ball at an IronPigs baseball game at Coca-Cola Park here.

A spokeswoman for Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest told The Morning Call that Tom Burgoyne, the man inside the Philadelphia Phillies mascot's costume, was treated in the emergency room Wednesday night and later released.

The Phanatic was entertaining behind the first-base dugout in the top of the third inning when a foul ball from the Indianapolis Indians hit his neck , the area around Burgoyne's head. The Phanatic acted wounded but kept clowning for a while until he later left the stadium and went to the hospital.
