Tim, I'm so sorry for you and the 150+ tenants who are temporarily homeless. Everyone that were rescued by the police and firefighters should be thankful to them for their lives. Stay strong and persevere; regard it as a temporary setback. Material things can easily be replaced. “All known tenants accounted for; police, firefighters credited with saving many lives”

It started a little after 1:30 a.m. in one building of my complex, then raced to the other buildings. I'm fine and I'm at a friend's place, but right now I have to piece together my life. All I own is my body right now. So a gamenight post will come, but right now, keep chatting around about the win last night. Guys:

I haven't been able to see any games for a bit now because of the Flyers and Sixers in the playoffs and CN8 is not a channel that I get. Is this a joke or is she really hot?

The bullpen including three legimate closers in Gordon, Romero and Lidge have been for the most part saviors for the team. Off season aquisitions of Rudy Seanez and Chad Durbin to bolster the bullpen has been a huge plus so far in the early going. With the current ERA under three, the bullpen has far exceeded my expectations (and probably a few other fans?). Jason Werth, except for one recent "poor" game, has stepped up to seized the opportunity when Victorino went on the DL to show his versatility on the field. There is also the glimpse of his power as shown in past games. Who knows how good he can be if given the chance to play regularly. It will be a pleasant problem for Manuel when Victorino is scheduled to come off the DL Monday.

I'll take a Phillies sweep and a weekend for the Eagles in the draft, and maybe (just maybe) things'll be looking up for this city!Very impressed with Harman, by the way. He may wind up being no more than a utility infielder (though I hope he can be a regular), but for a kid who doesn't even have 60 at bats above A ball, he did incredibly well to play a passable 2B and rip an RBI double that was the difference in the game.

Could life get better? Probably, but I don't care.
