Ben Revere: Can't hit the ball over the fence
Mike Adams: Can't feel his fingers
Delmon Young: Can't be trusted around pieces of lumber, or Jews
Aaron Cook: Can't break a pane of glass with his fastball
Rodrigo Lopez: Can't throw the ball over the plate
Michael Young: Can't help being mistaken for a black guy

It actually sounds like a pretty diverse group.

Well that's completely obnoxious

"I didn't like cleaning dog poop." More Delmon Young on his recent community service in NYC.

"I didn’t like cleaning up dog poop," Young said. "It was a dog park and people don’t clean up after their dogs sometimes and we’re left to. A lot of times I just stared at it because it was too soupy.
"That puts some perspective on things, too. Like unnecessary littering, finding syringes out there, cigarettes everywhere, beer cans and then the daily stuff that goes around. You start seeing the dogs everywhere and it makes you realize if you have a dog, clean up after it.
"If I ever do decide to smoke cigarettes, throw it in the trash can. Don'’t litter. Being out there when it was 30 degrees and the wind was blowing, it makes you realize you need to make some good choices. You’'re not going to be out there doing community service next time." #phillies

I guess I don't see why. Our collection of OFers will create a difficult task for the manager. I'm hoping he can figure out a way to use them in a way that doesn't frustrate me.

I personally think the signing is what's obnoxious.

Yeah it was more equating Charlie to your infant daughter. (Unfavorably, in fact, until he proves otherwise.)
