Pee Wee Heman will NOT be at the Phillies game today
You know it's a slow news day when Phillies publicity director (I thought he was the director of "fun and games" ?) John Brazer walks over to the conglomerate of media in the clubhouse this morning to tell us something we'll likely never here again:
"Pee Wee Herman and (golfer) John Daly are coming to the game today."
Apparently Phillies mending pitcher Scott Mathieson met Paul "Pee Wee" Herman on a recent plane trip.
Mathieson, who grew up watching "Pee Wee's Playhouse," did a double take when Reubens took of his glasses. "Yep, Pee Wee Herman," Reubens said.
Anyway, Scott and Pee Wee became fast friends. Pee Wee said he'd like to come to a game, Mathieson obliged, passing along his phone number and email.
Alas, Pee Wee will not be able to make the game today - the Phils host Toronto here at Bright House Field. Pee Wee's mom, who lives in Sarasota, apparently is ill.
Mathieson has also coincidentally met another 80s star, Bob Saget, on another plane ride.
Odds are the 24-year-old right-hander runs into Bobcat Goldthwait and/or Gilbert Gottfried on his next flight back to Philly.

So what's new baseball-wise? (sorry, the above note just had to be told... we're all allowed to have a little fun down here, right?)
No word on the results of Adam Eaton's MRI and bone scan just yet. When I find out, you'll find out.
Word is the team is also scheduled to make its first round of cuts after the game today.
Please don't read into that fact that the above two sentences followed one another.

The race for the Phillies fifth starter's job played out in two Florida cities in two different parks Saturday.
In Clearwater at Bright House Field, Kris Benson threw in a live-game situation for the first time in almost 18 months.
Meanwhile, in the Phillies game against the Indians at Winter Haven, Travis Blackley struggled in his attempt to make the team.

And now are Sunday YouTube Video of the Week -- Chase Utley does drama.

Paul Reubens, Bob Saget? What is this, Airport 2008???
Yeah, I half-expected Mathieson to tell us he had reserved a party of five at Frenchy's later for dinner with Anthony Michael Hall, O.J. Simpson, Ally Sheedy, Leslie Nielson and and principal from Ferris Bueller.
I guess the real bummer was, of all days, the blogger program wasn't letting me post photos today. So no photos of Pee Wee or Bobcat on the blog.
Bummer.
