THE PHILLIES, BACK WITH A VENGEANCE

So they've done it again: mystified us with their commitment to winning. Today starting pitcher Ryan Franklin was signed to a one year contract worth approximately 2.5 million dollars, shoring up that spot in our rotation that we've been so eagerly anticipating. Unfortunately his career 4.34 ERA isn't particularly impressive, nor is his win-loss record.

However, he did receive a suspension for steroid usage. Hopefully he can hook up some of our hitters with the inside knowledge, and get some more dingers out of this club. Just keep it on the DL though.
