   Note: I’ll try, but there’s a possibility I can’t get to a gameday post today. I’m about to eat and head over to my old apartment. Currently mine is one of three buildings that didn’t get eaten alive by the fire; however, I’m on the top floor and the roof looks as if it caved into our apartment.

   Here’s a NYTimes story on it: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/27/nyregion/27fire.html?hp

   I’m sure you all know of the fire by now – it’s been all over national news.

   I’ll be in touch, and I’m fine. I got great friends and family taking care of me.

   Go Phils!

   I am so happy to see Kendrick pitch better. If he and Howard can turn it around and Rollins and Victorino come back healthy, this team is going to win 95 + games!

   I just was watching the news this morning. At first I thought the said Norwalk (my hometown) then I realized they were talking about Norwich. Ugh. Really sorry to hear about this. Best of luck with the recovery, and hope that the damage is somehow salvageable.

   Great to see Howard go deep yesterday, though he did strikeout two more times as well. The most important developments for the Phillies as we move into May will be the return of Howard as a major offensive producer, and the returns of Shane Victorino and Jimmy Rollins to the lineup. Burrell and Utley have been fabulous thus far, but they will have their down times. They carried the load here in April, the other big boys are going to have to get back into the lineup and into the groove to sustain this nice start and keep the club near the top of the NL.

   With how hot Werth is hitting, how are they going to work him in the lineup more with Victorino returning?

   Awww man that throw from Werth was insane, on the money doesn’t even describe that one.

    I will do everyone a favor and not post what I would normally during these circumstances.

    The Phillies could platoon Victorino and Jenkins, at least for a little while.

    Paul Maholm has humiliated them through 8 innings so far. You cant really get on them too hard because they took 2 out of 3 here and theyve been doing well lately. Outstanding pitching performance by Maholm.
