The Day After a Bad Case of the Mondays
As far as Mondays go, the Phillies didn't have a particular good one yesterday:
Cole Hamels was sent home to have his pitching elbow examined. Charlie Manuel unleashed a mild, yet, profanity-laced diatribe after an ugly, mental and physical error-induced 12-0 defeat to the Yankees.
Hamels is seeing Dr. Ciccotti today, probably as I type... no nothing new to report. Panic time? Maybe...
Even if the Phils and Hamels insist they don't believe it's anything serious, the team is not a World Series contender, and possibly not even a playoff contender, without him.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They just put the tarp up on the field, but if and when Phils/Reds get underway today for the annual St. Patrick's Day affair - oddly, no green jerseys or hats seen in the clubhouse - here's the lineup the home team will trot out:
1. Chase Utley, 2B
2. Eric Bruntlett, SS
3. Raul Ibanez, LF
4. Ryan Howard, 1B
5. Matt Stairs, RF
6. Pedro Feliz, 3B
7. John Mayberry Jr., CF
8. Carlos Ruiz, C
9. Brett Myers, P
Brad Lidge and Chad Durbin are both scheduled to make their Grapefruit League debuts today.
On tap to pitch in the next few days:
Wednesday: J.A. Happ, Ryan Madson, Scott Eyre and Jamie Moyer (minor league game for Moyer).
Thursday (in Jupiter): Joe Blanton, Clay Condrey, Bobby Mosebach, Brad Lidge
Friday (in Jupiter): Carlos Carrasco, Chad Durbin, Ryan Madson and Cole Hamels (Hamels is on tap to pitch in minor-league game.... I'll have to see if this is still on, however, given this week's events).
Saturday: Chan Ho Park, Kyle Kendrick, Clay Condrey, Scott Eyre and Brad Lidge
Sunday (in Fort Myers): Brett Myers, Chad Durbin, Ryan Madson and Bobby Mosebach

Kendrick said, "Obviously I want it and those two guys want it."
Um... yeah, dude, but the difference is: they earned it. It's going to be a tough call between Happ and Park, but Kendrick's going to have to pitch a perfect game or two to get out of this hole. (me, I'm rooting for Park)
