Ryan Howard

[Buck]

Is he playing today?

 

[beefncheddar]

Not in the starting lineup

 

[BYH]

should be traded to BYH

 

[ondeadline]

He cowered at the thought of facing a Rich Hill curveball.

Pat Burrell, OTOH ...

 

[ondeadline]

Burrell hit a fastball.

 

[BYH]

Burrell hit a fastball.

Especially one thrown by Armando Benitez.

 

[beefncheddar]

Burrell x 2

But the Cubs still get two innings against the Phillies bullpen.

Even the Phils' bullpen can't screw this one up.

From AP's notes:

1B Ryan Howard (quad) was out of the starting lineup for the fourth straight game. He was examined by a team doctor, took batting practice and was available to pinch-hit.

Howard's out for Saturday as well.

Manuel also indicated Howard would not start today against righthander Angel Guzman.

 

[Trey Beamon]

He'll never recover from overhearing Angela's "no cookie" chat with Dwight.

And the Phillies finally put him on the DL.
