i was born in lancaster (awful place to grow up), moved to near jim thorpe when i was 10, and moved out west recently. i'm def. glad i didn't live in philly however. :P

baseball is such a streaky fucking game, which is kind of one of the reasons i enjoy it. the '93 team was a goddamn trainwreck, but they had momentum and chemistry (so underrated), and were a helluva good time to watch. kevin stocker, mickey morandini, dykstra, daulton, milt thompson, schilling. ah, such memories.

as it pertains to #2/#3 starter, i really thought freddy garcia was going to be it. oh how wrong i was. and of course now gavin floyd finally has a good season, when he would be a perfect fit for the phils...sigh. hamels/floyd/myers/moyer would be niceee.
