Phils fired up by "retard"

I have to admit, the clubhouse before the game was actually quite relaxed, as if last night's Myers-Carchidi shouting match sort of turned the release valve on the pressure. Sure enough, the Phils have come out and put a whuppin' on the Padres.


I suggested that the Phillies should thank Sam for distracting them from the messy week they had. In fact, I even made a template for the patch they should wear on the sleeve of the jersey to commemorate this pivotal moment. That's it above - like it? (Sam has glasses and a moustache. Wanted to make that clear, since I'm no Picasso. On second thought ... it is a little Picasso-esque.)
