The Minor League Weekend

No real updates other than the generic minor league stats of the weekend. A Phillies Baseball correspondent was in Scranton this weekend, so there is at least some hope that pictures and a brief recap about Cole Hamels' third start at the AAA level are in the cards...though there are no guarantees (digital cameras can be fickle, you know). I'm following the lead of Balls, Sticks, & Stuff and not saying anything about the Phillies recent hot streak...I hear they are doing pretty well though. Because I'm in the linking mood, definitely make sure to check out Beerleaguer's take on Billy Wagner's return to Philly - tomorrow night will be the first game I attend in person this season (pretty impressive since I'll have only been back in Philly 20 some hours)...anyway, those two links are perfect examples of the work consistently put out there by the two best Phillies blogs on the web.

One last thing...maybe I've been totally out of it lately, but where the heck did this come from? Is all this talking out a closer thing? On to the minors...
