Phils flatten Bucs in the rain.


John Van Benschoten pitched poorly,the Phils made him pay and won going away 8-1 in a rain-shortened seven innings.
I cannot add much to this performance ,but the Jim Colborn "adjustments"did not seem to do much for JVB,who seems to be in danger of losing his rotation spot.
Walks and getting behind in the count are killing him and the fat pitches that result are being hammered.
Very little else I can add to this one.

Pitching Matchup
Pittsburgh: Shane Youman (2-2) at Philadelphia: J.D. Durbin (2-2) 7:05

Bullpen Notes

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats were dropped to 0-5 after a 36-18 loss in Winnipeg to the Blue Bombers.
Game was not televised,so I have no thoughts on the game other than what I read.
Milt Stegall of Winnipeg set the CFL record for touchdowns in the Bombers win.

Here is two more links to thoughts on the passing of Skip Prosser.

Glad to see the Browns were able to get their two most important picks signed and in camp
Joe Thomas at tackle and Eric Wright at corner play the two toughest positions for rookies in the NFL and needed to be in camp for the full duration.
Kudos to the Browns for getting the deals done.
As far as Brady Quinn-Big Deal

More tomorrow
