The Phillies have signed lefty reliever J.C. Romero to a one-year deal. It is hoped that Romero, shaky and injured the past two years, will regain some of the form that made him an integral part of the 2008 team. Details on the contract are not yet known. The Phillies needed another lefty in the bullpen and I hope that Romero will be the man.
Given yesterday's weather conditions on the East Coast, postponing last night's NFL game in Philadelphia seemed a no-brainer. But no, good sense is not much prized by football fans, or so it would seem. There was a tremendous amount of whining and shouting yesterday and today about the postponement, even cries of a conspiracy. I think all the people mouthing off had bets on the game and know that a Tuesday make-up changes things.
Then there is Gov. Ed Rendell... I love the guy but wow was he off-base on this one.
