Tix for the 3/30 exhibition game between the brand-new IronPigs and the Phillies arrived yesterday while down in Clearwater Cole Hamels was turning in a thing of beauty. Charlie's grouchiness seems to be paying off. Victorino looks like he's kicking it into gear, Jenkins even cranked a homer. Castro came on for Hamels in the 7th, loaded the bases, allowed a run but then got out of it. After that it was shutout work by the bullpen. Ah, the stuff of summer dreams.Weather? We got weather. The opening day weather watch is in full swing. Last I heard it was brilliant sun and a high of 45 for the 31st in Philadelphia.
