Friday Game Thoughts

Should we have concerns about Cole Hamels after getting crushed (3.2 innings, 7 runs, 11 hits) in Coors today?  I'd say watch closely.  Did anyone have the Rockies dominating the Phillies to...

New T.R. Sullivan mailbag

T.R. Sullivan has a new mailbag column up, with various interesting tidbits -- including his statement that Nelson Cruz "is definitely in the Rangers' 2009 outfield picture," but the lead item is prob...

Watch Gamel in the Futures Game on ESPN2
