Dear AdoptPlatoon Supporters,

This will be a short, but an URGENT e-mail update from AdoptaPlatoon.  Our Troops need us … We have Troops newly deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan waiting to be supported with incoming mail from “home”.  If you have the ability to pen-pal or adopt an individual Soldier or send support to a platoon of newly deployed Troops, please let us know ASAP.  We have received thousands of new support requests from our Troops asking for individual, as well as platoon support and it’s so sad knowing they wait for the American people to embrace them.

Now that the holidays are over, support has dropped considerably, but our Troops continue to be deployed and they continue to serve on our behalf.  PLEASE consider supporting another Soldier or two.  Mail is so important to these men and women who serve so proudly and it truly has a positive effect on their morale when they know they have not been forgotten!  If you can pen-pal with a soldier and send letters, cards and news from home, please let us know ASAP!  Also, as an FYI, when you adopt a soldier and send a MONTHLY CARE PACKAGE, please know that what you send does not have to be expensive….Gum, candy, toiletries, a pair of socks, plus a letter or card means more to a soldier than words could ever describe.  Again, just knowing they stand for “Mail Call” and have their named called for mail is valuable to them.

CURRENT SUPPORTERS: Please know that we take extra care with our Soldiers’ mail safety so be sure to read the info below for CURRENT SUPPORTERS requesting another Soldier(s):

Another way you can get the word out is to write a letter to your local newspaper.  Below is an example of what you can write:

 

Dear Editor,

 

It is more important than ever that we as a Nation let our military Service Members deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan know that they are not forgotten. Letters, cards and care packages sent to our Nation’s deployed Troops serving far from home mean more to U.S. Troops than words can say…Your help is needed to ensure that we never forget those who serve on our behalf.

 

AdoptaPlatoon is a national non-profit organization serving the U.S. military by providing a program for Americans to send mail support in the form of cards, letters, and care packages to deployed U.S. Troops…. Families, civic groups, clubs, schools and businesses can participate and let our Nation’s Troops know that they are not forgotten! 

 

To learn how you can support our deployed Troops, visit the AdoptaPlatoon website at www.adoptaplatoon.org and remember a Soldier’s words when he says, "Please support us as your sons and daughters who have more than dedicated our lives to keep America great!”

 

Your Name

City, State

This is our annual summer campaign where you can send all kinds of things that help keep those flies, bugs and spiders off our Troops.  Remember, summer in the Middle East gets up to 130 degrees, which brings out those pesky “beasts,” and when they bite – THEY BITE!!!

If you would like to support this campaign, or a specific campaign, to put a smile on our Troops faces and send a "touch of home" contact Campaign Director, Arline Grant, at aapcampaign@....  Arline will assign a platoon to you who will eagerly await your support.

REMEMBER:  For Current Supporters, please put "Current Supporter" in the subject line of your email, ALONG with your full address, and let Arline know which campaign you would like to support and how many Service Members you can send items to and Arline will then link you accordingly to meet your request.

 

Thank you for your big hearts and patriotic spirit and thank you also for not forgetting our deployed Troops!  You are part of a great team!  God bless you and our Nation’s Troops

FEATURE STORY
Injuries are still doing their job on the Phillies with both Shane
Victorino and Jimmy Rollins out of the starting line up. The offense
still hasn’t put things together in consistent fashion yet. Fortunately,
for the most part, the pitching hasn’t been that bad. It has actually
kept the team in the games. If this team doesn’t gel soon, someone else
will set the pace in NL East. If Howard & Company begin to play hard ball
like hard ball is suppose to be played, it may be the Phillies who get
hot. Now wouldn’t that be nice.

GET THE BEST IN PHILLIES MERCHANDISE PHILLIES NEWS: THE LEAD STORIES

DL FOR JIMMYPhillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins is headed to the disabled
list for the first time in his eightyear Major League career. The
Phillies announced before Sunday's finale of a threegame series against
the Mets that Rollins was placed on the 15-day DL. Rollins has not
started the last ten straight games since the injury occurred. He has
appeared as a pinch-hitter four times. Rollins is hitting .308
(12-for-39) with two doubles, two home runs, six RBI, and two stolen
bases. Eric Bruntlett has seen the bulk of playing time atshortstop in
his absence. Rollins, the reigning National League Most Valuable Player,
originally suffered the left ankle sprain against the Mets on April 8th,
running the bases in the top of the eighth inning at Shea Stadium.
Rollins will be eligible to be activated for the Diamondbacks series in
Arizona on May 5th.

COSTE(ING) ALONGPhillies catcher Chris Coste tied a career high with four
hits. He went 4 for 5 with a double, capping the day with a two-run homer
off Astros closer Jose Valverde in the eighth inningon Thursday. Coste is
hitting .400 (8 for 20) with two homers and four RBI. Starting catcher
Carlos Ruiz is hitting .186 (8 for 43) with no homers and no RBI. It's
unclear if Coste has earned any additional starts considering his play and
Ruiz's struggles. Coste says he isn'tinterested in playing every day. He
insists that the more he plays, the worse hitter he willbecome. Charlie
Manuel said he doesn't envision him as a 7-day-a-week catcher, thoughafter
Coste's performance on Thursday, Manuel did say the veteran could earn
some moreplaying time. Coste is a clutch player, whose maturity doesn't
seem to allow him to choke.If Carlos Ruiz does continue to struggle at the
plate, do expect to see more Chris Coste.It's one of those pleasant
dilemmas that managers just love.

BACK TO FORMBrett Myers returned to the Phillies rotation this season and
initially, he felt himselfstruggling a bit. Myers says that he did not
pitch like himself in his first two starts. It showed in the stats. He
was 0-1 with a 6.30 ERA after two starts, but he is 2-0 with a 2.40 ERA in
his two games since. On Thursday, he allowed five hits, one run, and one
walk in seven innings of a 10-2 victory over the Houston Astros. He
struck out eight, which is a season high for Phillies pitchers. In his
previous start, Myers looked as comfortable as he's been since his return
to the starting rotation. He allowed three runs over eight innings while
striking out five and walking none to earn his first win of the season by
beating the Cubs. He is showing good velocity, hitting his spots, andhis
curve and slider are as devastating as ever. If Myers continues to excel,
the moveto acquire Brad Lidge and move Myers back into the rotation will
make his generalmanager look real good.

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKSPhillies outfielder Jayson Werth is, once again, making
the most of an opportunity. Werthwas riding a five-game hitting streak as
the weekend commenced and was batting .389 during that span. With Shane
Victorino on the 15-day disabled list, Werth has shifted to center field
and exhibited good range and a strong throwing arm. Phillies manager
CharlieManuel says he is almost as fast as the fleet-footed Victorino.
Werth was first-round pick in 1997 and was drafted by Phillies GM Pat
Gillick when he was general manager of the Baltimore Orioles. He became a
free agent when Los Angeles failed to offer a contract by the December
11th, 2006 deadline. He was signed by the Phillies. Werth hit .234 with
seven home runs and 43 RBIs in 2005 with Los Angeles, but also missed two
months withinjuries. Previous to last season, had his best season in
2004, hitting .262 with 16 homers and 47 RBIs in just 89 games with the
Dodgers. Last season, he hit .299 with eight home runs and a .863 OPS.

BIG LEAGUE TIMEChris Snelling is back in the major leagues, at least for
now. The journeyman outfielder returned to the big Leagues with his
fourth organization, the beneficiary of OF Shane Victorino being placed on
the 15-day disabled list. Snelling has been backing up the corner
outfield spots and serving as Phillies manager Charlie Manuel's second
lefty bat off the bench. On Tuesday, pinch-hitter Snelling hit a leadoff
homer in the ninth thatstarted a dramatic comeback staking the Phillies to
a 4-3 come from behind win overHouston. Snelling joined the Phillies in
the offseason as a potential left-handed bench option, though that
situation became clouded when the team added free agent OF So Taguchi.
Snelling was claimed off waivers from the Athletics by the Tampa Bay Devil
Rays on October 25th, 2007. With a crowded outfield, the Rays traded
Snelling to the Phillies for cash considerations on November 20th, 2007.
The Phillies sent him outright to the minors on March 28th, 2008. On
April 12th, 2008, Snelling was recalled from the AAA IronPigs.
Unfortunately, Snelling was put on the 15 day DL on Sunday, retroactive to
April 17th with left knee inflammation.

RETURNING TO FORM?Adam Eaton, who allowed three runs in 7 2/3 innings in a
4-3 loss to the Reds on April 5thand three runs in six innings of a 4-3
loss to the Mets last Thursday, still hasn't recorded a decision this
season, but his 3.95 ERA is more than a run-and-a-half lower than it was
at any point in 2007. In fact, this is the first time since last June
that he has pitched at least six innings and allowed fewer than four runs
in back-to-back starts. Eaton accomplished that feat in just seven of his
30 starts in 2007. This isn't the first time he has had success as a
Phillie though. From May 8th to June 17th of last season, he went 4-2
with a 3.38 ERA in eight starts. Unlike last year, when he struggled with
shoulder pain, Eaton thinks his success is here to stay. Eaton says
everything comes down to his shoulder. The joint in his pitching shoulder
hurt him all last season, particularly from July through September, when
opponents hit .331 against him and his ERA checked in at 7.03. An
offseason MRI exam didn't reveal the need for any surgery, but Eaton knew
it needed something, and so he began working with Mariners trainer Ken
Roll in Washington state to strengthen the joint.All offseason, two or
three times a week, Eaton and Roll focused on building strength and
flexibility in the shoulder. It looos like it worked, hopefully for the
entire season.

PHILLIES FANS MOURN MARZANO'S PASSINGThe Phillies family is mourneing the
loss of a favorite son who died Saturday at the age of 45. John Marzano, a
former first-round draft pick and member of the 1984 U.S. Olympic baseball
team, passed away at his Philadelphia home. He apparently fell down a
flight of stairs after reportedly suffering a possible heart attack.
Marzano went to grade school at Annunciation BMV Catholic Elementary
School, then Central High School, and finally Temple University.He proudly
mentioned it whenever possible. After playing, Marzano remained in the
game as an analyst on "Phillies Post Game Live" for Comcast SportsNet and
was serving as co-host of "Leading Off" on MLB.com with Vinny Micucci.
Marzano's insights and his humor were infectious. MLB.com will establish
an internship program in his memory. The closest John Marzano got to
playing for his beloved Phillies came when he spent the 1994 season with
AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Marzano was Philadelphis to the core, and we
all knew that.Our thoughts and our prayers go to his family. John Marzano
is survived by his wife, two daughters and two grandchildren. Find the

PHIL-INS
Pedro Feliz's RBI double in the bottom of the ninth inning capped a
four-run rally that carried the Phillies to a 4-3 victory over the Houston
Astros on Tuesday night. Pinch-hitter Chris Snelling hit a leadoff homer
in the ninth and Chase Utley was hit by a pitch. After Ryan Howard struck
out, Pat Burrell tied the score at 3 with a two-run homer to right.
Rudy Seanez (1-1) earned the win with a hitless inning.
The Phillies failed to give starter Adam Eaton any run support while he
was in the game. He gave up seven hits and three runs in six innings, his
third straight start of at least six innings.
The Seattle Mariners purchased the contract of former Phillies LHP
Arthur Rhodes from Tacoma.
The Lehigh Valley IronPigs assigned INF Gookie Dawkins to Reading and
recalled INF Joey Hammond from Reading.
The Newark Bears agreed to terms with former Clearwater and Reading RHP
J.J. Trujillo.
The Boston Red Sox purchased the contract of former Phillies INF Joe
Thurston from Pawtucket.
Roy Oswalt pitched seven strong innings, Michael Bourn hit a
tie-breaking solo homer, and theAstros beat the Phillies 2-1 Wednesday
night.
Jimmy Rollins pinch-hit Wednesday, but was clearly hobbled and was away
from the Phillies until Saturday while attending his uncle's funeral.
Charlie Manuel hasn't had the easiest time coming up with a lineup with
first Jimmy Rollins and then centerfielder Shane Victorino unavailable
because of injuries. The manager has used six combinationsin the top two
spots: Victorino/Eric Bruntlett (twice), Victorino and Greg Dobbs (once),
Victorino and Jayson Werth (once), Jenkins and Werth (once), Werth and
Carlos Ruiz (once), and Werth and Pedro Feliz (once).
Former Phillies LHP Randy Wolf picked up his first decision as a San
Diego Padre on Tuesday, pitching no-hit ball against the Colorado Rockies
for 6 2/3 innings before allowing a single.
Steve Kline made his first appearance Tuesday for AAA Lehigh Valley,
walking two and allowing no runs in two-thirds of an inning.
Brett Myers pitched seven impressive innings, Chris Coste tied a career
high with four hits, and the Phillies beat the Houston Astros 10-2
Thursday.
Coste, who was 4-for-5, had an RBI double in the third and homered off
Astros closer Jose Valverde in the eighth.
Ryan Howard and Pat Burrell had back-to-back homers for the Phillies,
who tied a season-high with 16 hits. Chase Utley added a two-run shot.
Pat Burrell's homer in the sixth inning was the 224th of his career,
moving him past Greg Luzinski forfourth place on the Phillies' all-time
list.
Every Phillies starter had at least two hits except Myers and SS Eric
Bruntlett, who was 0-for-5.
The Texas Rangers placed former Phillies OF Marlon Byrd on the 15-day
DL.
ShaneVictorino (strained right calf) has made progress, and the
Phillies hope to have him on a rehabilitation assignment next week. He's
eligible to be activated from the disabled list April 28th.
Righthander Scott Mathieson, who had right arm surgery (ulnar nerve
transposition), has been slow to progress. He's playing long toss and
throwing some bullpen sessions.
Righthander Francisco Rosario (strained right shoulder) sought a second
opinion about his shoulder. He does not need surgery, so the Phillies hope
he can return to the mound within a couple of weeks.
With Jimmy Rollins and Shane Victorino still unavailable, Manuel used
his seventh combination for the top two spots in the lineup on Thursday.
Centerfielder So Taguchi hit leadoff and third baseman Greg Dobbs was
second. Taguchi (.286) went 2 for 5 and scored a run. Dobbs (.250) went 2
for 5 and scored twice.
Phillies pitchers have already had 12 quality starts, which ranks third
in the league. The bullpen entered the weekend with a 3.17 ERA, which
ranked second in the NL. Only St. Louis' bullpen has been better, with a
3.07 ERA.
Johan Santana (2-2) allowed three runs and four hits, out-pitching Cole
Hamels in a matchup of two of the best left-handers in the majors. The
Mets won 6-4 on Friday night.
Hamels (2-2) gave up five runs, four earned, and eight hits in
seven-plus innings.
Pinch-hitter Greg Dobbs hit a three-run homer off reliever Aaron
Heilman to cut the Phillies' deficit to 5-4 in the eighth. Chase Utley
also homered.
Over the last two seasons, the Phillies have been held to one or fewer
runs just 11 times, nine times in 2007 and twice this year.
The Phillies already have used five leadoff batters and six No. 2
hitters in 16 games.
Charlie Manuel said he urged Ryan Howard, who entered Friday's hitting
only .211, to move up in the batter's box before the game, but Howard told
the manager afterward he felt as if it made him easier to jam. The first
baseman struck out twice against Johan Santana and went 0-for-4 to fall to
.197.
Entering the weekend, the Phillies were seventh in the league in
hitting (.261) and had committed 16 errors, more than any other National
League team except the Pirates (21). Phillies pitchers had the league's
sixth-best ERA (3.45).
Oliver Perez pitched 5 2-3 scoreless innings, Jose Reyes hit a two-run
homer, and the Mets defeated the Phillies 4-2 Saturday.
Struggling Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard botched Endy Chavez's
hard grounder that could've been an inning-ending double play, allowing
Jose Reyes to homer in the next at-bat.
Jamie Moyer pitched 6 innings, surrendering two earned runs. He got
the loss.
Each of New York's wins has come with Rollins missing from the
Phillies' lineup because of a sprained left ankle.
Forbes magazine has announced its annual valuations of Major League
Baseball's 30 teams, reporting that the average club is worth $472
million, up 9 percent in a year. The Phillies are ranked 10th at $481
million.
On April 20, 1948, Richie Ashburn made his Major League debut, going
1-for-5 against the Boston Braves at Shibe Park in North Philadelphia.
Get the story.
Phillies first base coach Davey Lopes visited the team on Saturday and
hopes to resume duties by the end of April.
To fill the roster spots of Jimmy Rollins and Cheis Snelling, the
Phillies called-up infielder Brad Harman rom AA Reading and outfielder
T.J. Bohn was recalled from AAA Lehigh Valley. Harman, 22, was hitting
.222 (12 for 54) with three doubles, one home run, and three RBIs in 16
games for Reading. He hit .281 with 13 home runs, and 62 RBI in 122 games
last season for single-A Clearwater. Bohn was hitting .190 (8 for 42)
with one double in 13 games for Lehigh Valley. Bohn previously played in
the major leagues with Seattle in 2006. He was claimed off waivers by the
Phillies last September.
AAA IronPigs catcher Pete Laforest was released after Friday's game.
Chase Utley hit two home runs and Pedro Feliz added a tiebreaking
pinch-hit homer in the seventh to help the Phillies avoid a sweep and beat
the New York Mets 5-4 on Sunday night.
Utley went 3-for-3 with four RBI and two runs and the Phillies won the
finale of the three-game series and ended the team's four-game losing
streak against the Mets.
J.C. Romero pitched two scoreless innings for the win.
Brad Lidge pitched a scoleless ninth for his third save as a Phillie.
The Phillies travel to Colorado tomorrow. Game time is 8:35 pm EST.

the moveto acquire Brad Lidge and move Myers back into the rotation will
make his generalmanager look real good.

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKSPhillies outfielder Jayson Werth is, once again, making
the most of an opportunity. Werthwas riding a five-game hitting streak as
the weekend commenced and was batting .389 during that span. With Shane
Victorino on the 15-day disabled list, Werth has shifted to center field
and exhibited good range and a strong throwing arm. Phillies manager
CharlieManuel says he is almost as fast as the fleet-footed Victorino.
Werth was first-round pick in 1997 and was drafted by Phillies GM Pat
Gillick when he was general manager of the Baltimore Orioles. He became a
free agent when Los Angeles failed to offer a contract by the December
11th, 2006 deadline. He was signed by the Phillies. Werth hit .234 with
seven home runs and 43 RBIs in 2005 with Los Angeles, but also missed two
months withinjuries. Previous to last season, had his best season in
2004, hitting .262 with 16 homers and 47 RBIs in just 89 games with the
Dodgers. Last season, he hit .299 with eight home runs and a .863 OPS.

BIG LEAGUE TIMEChris Snelling is back in the major leagues, at least for
now. The journeyman outfielder returned to the big Leagues with his
fourth organization, the beneficiary of OF Shane Victorino being placed on
the 15-day disabled list. Snelling has been backing up the corner
outfield spots and serving as Phillies manager Charlie Manuel's second
lefty bat off the bench. On Tuesday, pinch-hitter Snelling hit a leadoff
homer in the ninth thatstarted a dramatic comeback staking the Phillies to
a 4-3 come from behind win overHouston. Snelling joined the Phillies in
the offseason as a potential left-handed bench option, though that
situation became clouded when the team added free agent OF So Taguchi.
Snelling was claimed off waivers from the Athletics by the Tampa Bay Devil
Rays on October 25th, 2007. With a crowded outfield, the Rays traded
Snelling to the Phillies for cash considerations on November 20th, 2007.
The Phillies sent him outright to the minors on March 28th, 2008. On
April 12th, 2008, Snelling was recalled from the AAA IronPigs.
Unfortunately, Snelling was put on the 15 day DL on Sunday, retroactive to
April 17th with left knee inflammation.

RETURNING TO FORM?Adam Eaton, who allowed three runs in 7 2/3 innings in a
4-3 loss to the Reds on April 5thand three runs in six innings of a 4-3
loss to the Mets last Thursday, still hasn't recorded a decision this
season, but his 3.95 ERA is more than a run-and-a-half lower than it was
at any point in 2007. In fact, this is the first time since last June
that he has pitched at least six innings and allowed fewer than four runs
in back-to-back starts. Eaton accomplished that feat in just seven of his
30 starts in 2007. This isn't the first time he has had success as a
Phillie though. From May 8th to June 17th of last season, he went 4-2
with a 3.38 ERA in eight starts. Unlike last year, when he struggled with
shoulder pain, Eaton thinks his success is here to stay. Eaton says
everything comes down to his shoulder. The joint in his pitching shoulder
hurt him all last season, particularly from July through September, when
opponents hit .331 against him and his ERA checked in at 7.03. An
offseason MRI exam didn't reveal the need for any surgery, but Eaton knew
it needed something, and so he began working with Mariners trainer Ken
Roll in Washington state to strengthen the joint.All offseason, two or
three times a week, Eaton and Roll focused on building strength and
flexibility in the shoulder. It looos like it worked, hopefully for the
entire season.

PHILLIES FANS MOURN MARZANO'S PASSINGThe Phillies family is mourneing the
loss of a favorite son who died Saturday at the age of 45. John Marzano, a
former first-round draft pick and member of the 1984 U.S. Olympic baseball
team, passed away at his Philadelphia home. He apparently fell down a
flight of stairs after reportedly suffering a possible heart attack.
Marzano went to grade school at Annunciation BMV Catholic Elementary
School, then Central High School, and finally Temple University.He proudly
mentioned it whenever possible. After playing, Marzano remained in the
game as an analyst on "Phillies Post Game Live" for Comcast SportsNet and
was serving as co-host of "Leading Off" on MLB.com with Vinny Micucci.
Marzano's insights and his humor were infectious. MLB.com will establish
an internship program in his memory. The closest John Marzano got to
playing for his beloved Phillies came when he spent the 1994 season with
AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Marzano was Philadelphis to the core, and we
all knew that.Our thoughts and our prayers go to his family. John Marzano
is survived by his wife, two daughters and two grandchildren. Find the

PHIL-INS
Pedro Feliz's RBI double in the bottom of the ninth inning capped a
four-run rally that carried the Phillies to a 4-3 victory over the Houston
Astros on Tuesday night. Pinch-hitter Chris Snelling hit a leadoff homer
in the ninth and Chase Utley was hit by a pitch. After Ryan Howard struck
out, Pat Burrell tied the score at 3 with a two-run homer to right.
Rudy Seanez (1-1) earned the win with a hitless inning.
The Phillies failed to give starter Adam Eaton any run support while he
was in the game. He gave up seven hits and three runs in six innings, his
third straight start of at least six innings.
The Seattle Mariners purchased the contract of former Phillies LHP
Arthur Rhodes from Tacoma.
The Lehigh Valley IronPigs assigned INF Gookie Dawkins to Reading and
recalled INF Joey Hammond from Reading.
The Newark Bears agreed to terms with former Clearwater and Reading RHP
J.J. Trujillo.
The Boston Red Sox purchased the contract of former Phillies INF Joe
Thurston from Pawtucket.
Roy Oswalt pitched seven strong innings, Michael Bourn hit a
tie-breaking solo homer, and theAstros beat the Phillies 2-1 Wednesday
night.
Jimmy Rollins pinch-hit Wednesday, but was clearly hobbled and was away
from the Phillies until Saturday while attending his uncle's funeral.
Charlie Manuel hasn't had the easiest time coming up with a lineup with
first Jimmy Rollins and then centerfielder Shane Victorino unavailable
because of injuries. The manager has used six combinationsin the top two
spots: Victorino/Eric Bruntlett (twice), Victorino and Greg Dobbs (once),
Victorino and Jayson Werth (once), Jenkins and Werth (once), Werth and
Carlos Ruiz (once), and Werth and Pedro Feliz (once).
Former Phillies LHP Randy Wolf picked up his first decision as a San
Diego Padre on Tuesday, pitching no-hit ball against the Colorado Rockies
for 6 2/3 innings before allowing a single.
Steve Kline made his first appearance Tuesday for AAA Lehigh Valley,
walking two and allowing no runs in two-thirds of an inning.
Brett Myers pitched seven impressive innings, Chris Coste tied a career
high with four hits, and the Phillies beat the Houston Astros 10-2
Thursday.
Coste, who was 4-for-5, had an RBI double in the third and homered off
Astros closer Jose Valverde in the eighth.
Ryan Howard and Pat Burrell had back-to-back homers for the Phillies,
who tied a season-high with 16 hits. Chase Utley added a two-run shot.
Pat Burrell's homer in the sixth inning was the 224th of his career,
moving him past Greg Luzinski forfourth place on the Phillies' all-time
list.
Every Phillies starter had at least two hits except Myers and SS Eric
Bruntlett, who was 0-for-5.
The Texas Rangers placed former Phillies OF Marlon Byrd on the 15-day
DL.
ShaneVictorino (strained right calf) has made progress, and the
Phillies hope to have him on a rehabilitation assignment next week. He's
eligible to be activated from the disabled list April 28th.
Righthander Scott Mathieson, who had right arm surgery (ulnar nerve
transposition), has been slow to progress. He's playing long toss and
throwing some bullpen sessions.
Righthander Francisco Rosario (strained right shoulder) sought a second
opinion about his shoulder. He does not need surgery, so the Phillies hope
he can return to the mound within a couple of weeks.
With Jimmy Rollins and Shane Victorino still unavailable, Manuel used
his seventh combination for the top two spots in the lineup on Thursday.
Centerfielder So Taguchi hit leadoff and third baseman Greg Dobbs was
second. Taguchi (.286) went 2 for 5 and scored a run. Dobbs (.250) went 2
for 5 and scored twice.
Phillies pitchers have already had 12 quality starts, which ranks third
in the league. The bullpen entered the weekend with a 3.17 ERA, which
ranked second in the NL. Only St. Louis' bullpen has been better, with a
3.07 ERA.
Johan Santana (2-2) allowed three runs and four hits, out-pitching Cole
Hamels in a matchup of two of the best left-handers in the majors. The
Mets won 6-4 on Friday night.
Hamels (2-2) gave up five runs, four earned, and eight hits in
seven-plus innings.
Pinch-hitter Greg Dobbs hit a three-run homer off reliever Aaron
Heilman to cut the Phillies' deficit to 5-4 in the eighth. Chase Utley
also homered.
Over the last two seasons, the Phillies have been held to one or fewer
runs just 11 times, nine times in 2007 and twice this year.
The Phillies already have used five leadoff batters and six No. 2
hitters in 16 games.
Charlie Manuel said he urged Ryan Howard, who entered Friday's hitting
only .211, to move up in the batter's box before the game, but Howard told
the manager afterward he felt as if it made him easier to jam. The first
baseman struck out twice against Johan Santana and went 0-for-4 to fall to
.197.
Entering the weekend, the Phillies were seventh in the league in
hitting (.261) and had committed 16 errors, more than any other National
League team except the Pirates (21). Phillies pitchers had the league's
sixth-best ERA (3.45).
Oliver Perez pitched 5 2-3 scoreless innings, Jose Reyes hit a two-run
homer, and the Mets defeated the Phillies 4-2 Saturday.
Struggling Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard botched Endy Chavez's
hard grounder that could've been an inning-ending double play, allowing
Jose Reyes to homer in the next at-bat.
Jamie Moyer pitched 6 innings, surrendering two earned runs. He got
the loss.
Each of New York's wins has come with Rollins missing from the
Phillies' lineup because of a sprained left ankle.
Forbes magazine has announced its annual valuations of Major League
Baseball's 30 teams, reporting that the average club is worth $472
million, up 9 percent in a year. The Phillies are ranked 10th at $481
million.
On April 20, 1948, Richie Ashburn made his Major League debut, going
1-for-5 against the Boston Braves at Shibe Park in North Philadelphia.
Get the story.
Phillies first base coach Davey Lopes visited the team on Saturday and
hopes to resume duties by the end of April.
To fill the roster spots of Jimmy Rollins and Cheis Snelling, the
Phillies called-up infielder Brad Harman rom AA Reading and outfielder
T.J. Bohn was recalled from AAA Lehigh Valley. Harman, 22, was hitting
.222 (12 for 54) with three doubles, one home run, and three RBIs in 16
games for Reading. He hit .281 with 13 home runs, and 62 RBI in 122 games
last season for single-A Clearwater. Bohn was hitting .190 (8 for 42)
with one double in 13 games for Lehigh Valley. Bohn previously played in
the major leagues with Seattle in 2006. He was claimed off waivers by the
Phillies last September.
AAA IronPigs catcher Pete Laforest was released after Friday's game.
Chase Utley hit two home runs and Pedro Feliz added a tiebreaking
pinch-hit homer in the seventh to help the Phillies avoid a sweep and beat
the New York Mets 5-4 on Sunday night.
Utley went 3-for-3 with four RBI and two runs and the Phillies won the
finale of the three-game series and ended the team's four-game losing
streak against the Mets.
J.C. Romero pitched two scoreless innings for the win.
Brad Lidge pitched a scoleless ninth for his third save as a Phillie.
The Phillies travel to Colorado tomorrow. Game time is 8:35 pm EST.

American League Report

BALTIMORE ORIOLES – The past two seasons, Nick Markakis has struggled to the tune of a .221 April average. Here’s hoping you didn’t plan on waiting for his usual slow start and taking advantage of a panicking owner as he is off to a strong start. Normally, when a hitter’s walks are up, that is a good thing, but it appears that teams are not going to let Markakis beat them. George Sherrill has 5 saves in 5 chances, but tougher days are ahead. In 4.2 IP, he has yet to allow a hit, has walked 2 and struck out 3. The hits will soon fall and his historical trouble versus righties will surface.

"  Straight Lies
> By Thomas Sowell
> February 1, 2008
> We have been hearing for years that Senator John McCain gives
> "straight talk" and his bus has been endlessly referred to as the
> "straight talk express." But endless repetition does not make
> something true.
> The fact that McCain makes short, blunt statements does not make
> him a straight-talker.
> There are short, blunt lies -- and he told a big one on the eve of
> the Florida primary, when he claimed that Mitt Romney had advocated
> a timetable for withdrawal from Iraq.
> Even the Washington Post, which supports McCain, said that the
> Senator "has distorted the meaning" of what Governor Romney said,
> that Romney "has never proposed setting 'a date for withdrawal.'"
> During Mitt Romney's ABC News interview that Senator McCain
> twisted, Governor Romney was asked by the interviewer whether he
> agreed with President Bush's veto of Congressional legislation
> setting a timetable for withdrawal, and whether Romney as President
> would veto similar legislation.
> "Of course," was Romney's reply. There was no ambiguity.
> Confronted with his lie on Wednesday night's debate, McCain
> blustered and filibustered in a manner reminiscent of Captain Queeg
> in "The Caine Mutiny," when he was caught in a lie during a navy
> inquiry.
> When confronted with any of his misdeeds, Senator McCain tends to
> fall back on his record as a war hero in Vietnam.
> Let's talk sense. Benedict Arnold was a war hero but that did not
> exempt him from condemnation for his later betrayal.
> Being a war hero is not a lifetime get-out-of-jail-free card. And
> becoming President of the United States is not a matter of
> rewarding an individual for past services.
> The Presidency is a heavy responsibility for the future of the
> nation, including generations yet unborn. Character and integrity
> are major qualifications.
> The passing years and a friendly media have allowed Senator
> McCain's shortcomings in the character and integrity department to
> fade into the background.
> McCain was one of "the Keating five" -- Senators who used their
> influence to try to protect a failing savings & loan company, which
> also became the subject of a corruption investigation.
> During the 2000 primaries, the Associated Press reported Senator
> McCain's joking about people with Alzheimer's.
> This went beyond bad taste because (1) it was known at the time
> that Ronald Reagan was suffering from Alzheimer's and (2) the media
> to whom McCain was pandering hated Ronald Reagan.
> It is especially ironic now to see McCain wrapping himself in the
> mantle of President Reagan.
> With the momentum of his Florida primary win behind him, going into
> the "Super Tuesday" primaries, John McCain has now been restored to
> the position of front runner that the media gave him at the outset.
> Other Republicans are jumping on his bandwagon. This may have less
> to do with McCain's own qualities than with the prospect of getting
> Cabinet posts or Supreme Court appointments as rewards for their
> political support.
> It may all look like a done deal. But the McCain-Kennedy bill
> giving amnesty to illegal aliens looked like a done deal two years
> ago -- until the public realized the truth behind the spin and
> brought that sell-out to a screeching halt.
> Super Tuesday may be the voters' last chance to bring the so-called
> "straight talk express" to a screeching halt.
> It should be called the "sell-out express" because McCain has sold
> out not only with amnesty for illegal aliens but also sold out the
> First Amendment with the McCain-Feingold "campaign finance reform"
> bill that was supposed to take big money out of political
> campaigns, but blatantly has not.
> McCain also sold out on judicial nominations by making his own side
> deal with the Democrats, undercutting Republican attempts to stop
> Democrats from filibustering judicial nominees instead of voting
> them up or down.
> This is quite a record for someone running as a straight talker.

FEATURE STORY
As the baseball world prepares for major league baseball's 2007 World
Series, the Phillies and 28 other organizations are beginning to define
the scope of their off-season plans. For the last two years, after just
missing a wild card birth, and with limited financial resources, it hasnot
been easy to attract much in the way of quality free agents, and though,
for the most part, Pat Gillick and Company did a reasonably good job, the
upgrades weren't significant. This year, things look a little bit
different.
GET THE FULL STORY

THIS WEEK'S TRIVIA QUESTION Supporting the Philadelphia Chapter of the ALS
Association ***Do whatever you can***This Week's Question:I was born on
December 27, 1983, in San Diego, California.Lots of scouts were interested
in me while I was pitching inhigh school because my fastball was clocked
as high as 94 mph. However, I broke my arm in my junior year, so
manyteams lost interest. The Phillies did not and took a chance on me. I
made them look good. Who am I?Scroll down for the answer.

MERCHANDISE PHILLIES NEWS:
HOWARD NOMINATED AGAINPhillies 1B Ryan Howard has been nominated again,
this time for the Major League Baseball Clutch Performer of the Year
Award. Howard has been nominated along with J.J. Putz, Jake Peavy, Aramis
Ramirez, Alex Rodriguez, and Mark Teixeira for the award which is
presented by Pepsi. Despite a slow start, the Phillies slugger putup huge
numbers again following up on his fifty eight homer 2006 season. Howard
finished with 47 homers, and that included 11 during the Phillies crucial
September stretch run and one in each of their dramatic final four games
of the regular season.For more information about the Major League Baseball
Clutch Performer of the Year Award and to vote for Ryan Howard, go Here.

UTLEY IS SPORTING NEWS ALL-STARChase Utley has been recognized by MLB
players as a National League All-Star, as he was named to The Sporting
News' NL squad. Despite missing five weeks of the season, Utley batted
.332 with a franchise-best 48 doubles, 22 homers, and 103 RBI. He is a
two-time recipient, having also been named by the players in 2006.The
Sporting News released the results of votes submitted by 488 Major
Leaguerson Thursday. Utley was selected in the first round (15th overall)
by the Philliesin the 2000 first year player draft following his selection
as the Outstanding Player of the NCAA Regionals. He has arguably become
the top rated second baseman in major league baseball. Before his injury
this season, hs was considered one of the front-runners for the NL Most
Valuable Player award.

ROWAND IS SPORTING NEWS ALL-STARChase Utley has some company on the NL
All-Star squad. Phillies center-fielderAaron Rowand has also been
selected by his peers to The Sporting News' NL All-Star squad. Rowand, a
free agent, hit .309 with a career-high 27 homers, and 89 RBIs. Known as
a tough-nosed ball player, Rowand comes to play and givesan all-out effort
in every game. The Phillies and Rowand avoided an arbitration hearing
during last off-season and came to terms on a contract for 2007.
Rowandresponded with a career year and a trip to the NL All Star game. He
plays one ofthe better center fields in the game and will be difficult for
the Phillies to come toterms with. When the 2005 Chicago White Sox went
on to win the World Series, he was noted by manager Sox Ozzie Guillen as a
clubhouse leader and an example of the hustle expected from the team. He
played the same role in Philadelphia.

ROLLINS SLIGHTED AGAINThough he is one of the front-runners in the
National League Most Valuable Playersweepstakes, Phillies SS Jimmy Rollins
is having a difficult time getting respect fromothers in the business.
Rollins was not selected to the Sporting News' NL All-Star squad, losing
out to Florida's Hanley Ramirez, who batted .332 with 29 homers and51
stolen bases. Rollins set a record for at-bats in a season with 716, and
became the first player in baseball history to hit at least 30 doubles, 20
triples, 30 homers and 40 stolen bases in one season. He was clutch all
year for the Phillies and is finallyrecognized as one of the premier
lead-off hitters in the game today. In July, Cardinalsmanager Tony La
Russa left Rollins off the NL All-Star roster, though his numberssaid
otherwise. He is a strong contender for NL MVP honors, along with
Colorado's Matt Holliday.

MANUEL WATCH - WEEK 27Though Phillies manager Charlie Manuel took an
injury plagued team into the playoffsfor an organization that hadn't been
there for fourteen years, his peers elected to gowith padres manager Bob
Melvin when they cast their votes for the manager of theNL squad when The
Sporting News released the results of votes submitted by the488 Major
Leaguers. Manuel lost to Melvin by one vote from the eleven, that's
right,eleven NL managers who replied. Manuel and Melvin will probably
lock horns againat the end of the month when the results of the National
League Manager of the Year are announced after the world series ends.
Manuel completed his third season asPhillies manager and has just been
awarded a two year contract extension. We'll beconcluding our Manuel
Watch after the voting is in.
