CR/Tommy’s G-String/Best Infield in Baseball?/Son Volt
Thursday, February 7th, 2008The Hero of Chappaquiddick and the true reason behind the endorsement…

Brother-in-law Carl and my sis’ Mickey recently returned from a pretty successful Costa Rica excursion. They chartered the boat from some mutt named Bubba. At least the Costa Rican Bubba isn’t selling hot dogs yet, so the retirement plans are still intact. Big old marlin on the left and sailfish to the right. Cheer up, Carl. (Note lucky Bubba Dog hat on left).

Friend Tommy Jordan, a HUGE Bubba Dogs fan when in Sea Isle, is currently a Londoner with a winter chalet in the French Alps. Here he is getting ready to hit it.

While the Phils starting pitching doesn’t equal that of the Mets, their offense is clearly better and so too might be their bullpen. In fact, the Mets best everyday player (David Wright), would be the Phillies fourth best. Rollins and Howard own the last two MVP’s, respectively, and Utley could very well win it this year. Much of the Phils season is riding on the play of Brad Lidge. If he can be the closer that he once was, the Phils will be in good shape and, who knows, with this being GM Pat Gillick’s final year, maybe we can finally get the splash starting pitcher prior to the July 31st trade deadline.
Pat Burrell is engaged. This is also the last year of his contract. Weird that picture was released for the public? Let’s hope he plays like he did in the second half of last year. He hit just .215 with 11 homers and 37 RBI before the All-Star break. After the break, he hit .295 with 19 homers and 60 RBI.
