  1. Had some time to think on this. Ben doesn't really love Ticket Oak. He's just using him for Skrillex tickets.
  2. 4 #Phillies observations after (almost) two months of baseball: ow.ly/bhcnu
  3. Phillies are 11-5 when Carlos Ruiz drives in a run.
  4. Hope LA sees this story about Laz Diaz denying Russell Martin the "privilege" of throwing the ball back to his pitcher: ow.ly/bgT0h
  5. Of course the story about the porn shot at LA Coliseum got me thinking about the video Come to the Vet: ow.ly/bfGfe
  6. My colleague @KevinCooney will be talking Phils/Mets on @KYWNewsradio at 3:45 for "Reporters Round-Up." Then he'll have traffic & transit.
  7. We get you set for tonight's rubber match with #Phillies Primer: ow.ly/bfF5g
  8. Lee is 2-for-4 w/1 RBI vs. Gee. I'd bat him third or fourth. At least he won't swing at pitches around his chin. #justkidding #orami?
  9. #Phillies have averaged 2.7 runs per game in Cliff Lee's seven starts this season.
  10. How about some good news? Raul Valdes has now faced 29 batters and only 4 have reached base. He's also fanned 11.
  11. I don't believe any of those people Tweeted any of those things about Doritos Locos Tacos.
  12. Blanton in his last 3 starts (13.2 IP): 19 ER, 28 H, 8 HR.
  13. Pence on 3rd with none out, 4-5-6 hitters can't get him in off a hittable righty with about 20 big league innings. That's a total joke.
  14. Pence's bread commercial looks like it was shot on that first-gen iPhone Mayor Street camped out for.
  15. Hefner's HR was the 7th longball allowed by Blanton in his last 12.1 IP.
  16. Something called Jeremy Hefner just took Blanton deep for his first big league hit.
  17. I call the band in the Corona ad My Modest Jacket of Horses for Cutie.
  18. And just like that, Joe Blanton is finding the inside corner with his fastball.
  19. Did I just see an ad for a post-game REO Speedwagon concert at Citi Field? Where are we, Queens or Pittsburgh?
  20. Anyone else have the feeling Jon Rauch and Chad Qualls will be tonight's pitchers of record?
