Artist Cyrilla Mozenter (see her work in a group show on until May 8 at Five Myles in Brooklyn) sent this recent photo of her backyard. Just the right infusion for a rain-soaked day.
Out of nowhere comes the news that Joe Blanton has been put on the 15-day DL with an elbow impingement. Vance Worley, called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley, will take his place tonight against the Mets. Dane Sardinha is also being called up as insurance for Brian Schneider, who will be catching while Carlos Ruiz takes care of his ailing back. Just the usual DL merry-go-round for the Phillies.
