this and that


Veggie pack, broccoli, lettuce, and cauliflower sprint to the finish of the between-innings veggie race early this season in Reading. Veggie pack held on for the win.

The Phillies yesterday announced their Arizona Fall League roster: Domonic Brown, Scott Mathieson, Mike Cisco, Michael Schwimer, Mike Zagurski, Tuffy Gosewisch, Steve Susdorf, and Troy Hanzawa. Wish I were going to be there.

Speaking of Michael Schwimer, his blog entry yesterday at Phuture Phillies (http://phuturephillies.com) is great stuff. He goes pitch by pitch through two innings of work, outlining what he was thinking for each pitch and what he thought the batter was thinking. You can follow along while watching the innings on youtube.

Michael Taylor was put on the 7-day DL with the oblique strain he's been nursing for a week. That probably means his season is over. Taylor does say, though, that he plans to play winter ball somewhere.

Brett Myers is scheduled to pitch an inning tonight at Reading. Speaking of Reading, they came back to beat the Erie SeaWolves 8-5 last night. This is a crucial four-game set with Erie, which coming into last night trailed Reading by 1/2 game in the wild card standings.
