Young will be […]
Posted by Frank Klose Courtesy www.federalbaseball.com While much ado was made from panicking bloggers/tweeters about Domonic Brown's slow start in Philadelphia, one former Phillie has had a similiar start.

Posted by Danielle Wilson I'm going to be completely honest right now. I don't have an ounce of energy left in me and this game was just a total snooze-fest.
