Check out reliever Michael Schwimer's latest entry, Why We Play the Game, at Phuture Phillies. It's a sweet account of clinching a play-off berth with the Reading Phillies, especially the two paragraphs about starter Johan Flande and reliever Mike Zagurski.
LHP Sergio Escalona was recalled from Double-A Reading and lefty hitter Andy Tracy from Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Both moves are based on needs. To make room for Tracy on the 40-man roster, Rodrigo Lopez was released.
Woohoo! Michael Taylor, sidelined for weeks with an oblique strain, has been added to the R-Phils playoff roster. So has catcher Tuffy Gosewisch. Mike Stutes gets the start tonight.
