I missed the conversation about Ryan Howard. Man I wish they would make him a good offer and keep him happy. If he stays healthy this year and has a monster year than I think you've gotta make him happy next off season. He can't run and is at best an average fielder and he strikes out way too much but he gets a lot of big hits and can just carry the Phils when he's hot. We only saw flashes of it last year because he was hurt and I think had an off year he's not likely to repeat again. He came in a little heavy and out of shape. He admitted as much. As a consequence he got hurt and pretty much struggled all year. He struggled and put up the numbers he did. This year could be something special. If it is than the Phils have got to give him big money over a lot of years.

Grat video. I know how hard lawn work is as I do the mowing at our place...nearly 2 acres, hills, around trees, around the walkways, etc., with a 52" deck industrial Skag mower...So I totally give props to the grounds crew at CBP. They keep that place looking tip-top. If it didn't need to be done so meticulously, I'd love to mow the field at CBP! LOL!
