"America's Email"....  ....WE GAIN STRENGTH...COURAGE AND CONFIDENCE BY EVERY
EXPERIENCE IN WHICH WE REALLY STOP TO LOOK FEAR IN THE FACE....WHEN
WE ARE ABLE TO SAY TO OURSELVES "WE LIVED THROUGH THE HORROR" WE CAN
TAKE THE NEXT THING THAT COMES ALONG...STAND TALL...STAND
PROUD...
 
FYI..If Rev Wright gets even more upset after Sen Obama's speech yesterday...Don't be surprised to have Church attendance records leaked that show The Senator actually was there on one those "I hate America" Sundays we have seen come out....Maybe not but I'm just saying....
 
 
Today a Letter from a late Canadian broadcaster about The USA.....He says that we a a great COUNTRY...GOD BLESS THE
USA...


TRIBUTE TO THE UNITED STATES

America: The Good Neighbor.

Widespread but only partial news coverage was given recently to a
remarkable editorial broadcast from Toronto by Gordon Sinclair, a
Canadian
television commentator.

What follows is the full text of his trenchant remarks as printed
in the Congressional Record:

"This Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for the Americans as
the most generous and possibly the least appreciated people on all the
earth."

Germany, Japan and, to a lesser extent, Britain and Italy were
lifted out of the debris of war by the Americans who poured in
billions of
dollars and forgave other billions in debts. None of these countries
is
today
paying even the interest on its remaining debts to the United States.

When France was in danger of collapsing in 1956, it was the Americans
who
propped it up, and their reward was to be insulted and swindled on
the streets of Paris. I was there. I saw it.

When earthquakes hit distant cities, it is the United States that
hurries
in to help. This spring, 59 American communities were flattened by
tornadoes.

Nobody helped.

The Marshall Plan and the Truman Policy pumped billions of dollars
into
discouraged countries. Now newspapers in those countries are writing
about
the decadent, warmongering Americans.

I'd like to see just one of those countries that is gloating over the
erosion of the United States dollar build its own airplane. Does any
other
country in the world have a plane to equal the Boeing Jumbo Jet, the
Lockheed
Tri-Star, or the Douglas DC10? If so, why don't they fly them?

Why do all the International lines except Russia fly American Planes?

Why does no other land on earth even consider putting a man or woman
on
the moon? You talk about Japanese technocracy, and you get radios. You
talk about German technocracy, and you get automobiles.

You talk about American technocracy, and you find men on the moon- not
once, but several times-and safely home again. You talk about
scandals,
and the Americans put theirs right in the store window for everybody
to
look at.

Even their draft-dodgers are not pursued and hounded. They are here
on our streets, and most of them, unless they are breaking Canadian
laws,
are getting American dollars from ma and pa at home to spend here.

When the railways of France, Germany and India were breaking down
through
age, it was the Americans who rebuilt them. When the Pennsylvania
Railroad
and the New York Central went broke, nobody loaned them an old
caboose.

Both are still broke.

I can name you 5,000 times when the Americans raced to the help of
other
people in trouble. Can you name me even one time when someone else
raced
to the Americans in trouble? I don't think there was outside help even
during the San Francisco earthquake.

Our neighbors have faced it alone, and I'm one Canadian who is damned
tired
of hearing them get kicked around. They will come out of this thing
with
their flag high. And when they do, they are entitled to thumb their
nose at
the lands that are gloating over their present troubles. I hope
Canada is
not one of those."



Stand proud, America!


This is one of the best editorials that I have ever read regarding the
United States. It is nice that one man realizeD it. I only wish that
the
rest of the world would realize it. We are seem to be blamed for
everything,
and don't get a thank you for the things we do. I would hope that
each of
you would send this to as many people as you can and emphasize that
they
should send it to as many of their friends until this letter is sent
to
every person on the web. I am just a single American that has read
this, I

SURE HOPE THAT A LOT MORE READ

IT SOON.

Makes you proud to live here doesn't it??

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.

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.

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.

Question:I was originally signed as a non-drafted free agent by the
Phillies in 1980. A three-time All-Star, I earned National League Rookie
of the Year honors from The Sporting News in 1984, when I tied for the NL
lead with 19 triples and placed second with 72 stolen bases. In 1987, I
became the first player in major league history to reach double figures in
doubles, triples, home runs,and stolen bases in each of his first four
major league seasons. I am a major league coach now. Who am I?Scroll

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

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

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.

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.

the loss.
Each of New York's wins has come with Rollins missing from the
Phillies' lineup because of a sprained left ankle.

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.

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

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.
