Jason Grilli won't be up with the Phillies. He just tweeted black and yellow, black and yellow excited to join the new squad.

Looks like the Pirates are gearing up for a first round match up with the Phil's by getting another hard throwing lefty for their bullpen.

Oops. Well the righty is joining the Pirates just in time to face the Phil's next week.

Wish we would have promoted Grilli and demoted Carpenter.

yeah carpenter is gone friday..if lidge throws well in rehab appearance today..he is back friday.

that leaves baez and herndon. herndon goes when oswalt comes back and kendrick moves to long man. that could be in 2-3 weeks.

baez hopefully is dfa/released whatever when we acquire a pen arm in next 11 days.

Watching Lidge with a mid- to high-80's fastball is going to be interesting.

He was more effective last year when he wasn't trying to throw in the low 90s and had no idea where it was going

its funny that was the hot item on WIP today They were giving away a framed Matt Stairs picture from his NLCS HR if you could name the least valuable Philadelphia athlete.

I knew it was Baez but was on hold to go on next when someone got it.

He has a 12 ERA since his memorable 5 inning stint as the bridge to valdez in the 19 inning game.

He is horrible and a free agent end of year. Cut your losses now.

they said his fastball has consistently been 90-91 in rehab starts.

not from reports I've seen. Consistently? He may have touched 90-91 but all reports I've seen have him more in the 87-89 frame.

Gelb tweeted a link to this from a Washington DC NBC site:

He will hit eventually. That’s the line most Washington Nationals fans and baseball fans in general are taking about right fielder Jayson Werth’s much-less-than-impressive first half-season in D.C. Whether or not that’ll come this season or later in his 7-year contract remains to be seen.

But Duffy’s Irish Pub has found a way to make that first-half bust pay off now. During the game against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday, you can order PBR tallboys, Buds and High Lifes for whatever Werth’s batting average is at the time. For example, if the promotion started right now, at the time of publication, Werth’s .211 batting average would mean $2.11 brewskies.

Polanco will go for the epidural tomorrow, not a cortisone shot


Anyone else know he was pregnant? No wonder it is hard for him to play everyday at the hot corner. Does anyone know where he is registered? I think a group gift is appropriate.

So what is the difference? I would think an epidural is more serious. And why is he waiting so long? I thought this jawn was supposed to happen yesterday?

Also - Lidge is about to go in for the 8th inning in Lakewood.
