And on the flip-side...
jaysonvooyrhees: So Vance Worley actually harnessed his control and pitched a damn good ballgame, the type of damn good ballgame that made him an EL All-Star; 4 hits, 2 ER in 7 innings.  And no walks, which is the most stunning thing.  Anyway, Reading lost.   Of course. 3-2.

Martinez to make first start as Phillie tomorrow... →
So yeah… in case anyone hasn’t heard, this is happening. Jamie Moyer will move to the bullpen to make room for Pedro in the rotation. At first I didn’t agree with sending Moyer to the BP, but really what has he contributed to the starting rotation this season? He hold the third-highest ERA among NL starters with at least 100 innings and he’s 9 years older than Pedro (I...
