I haven't gotten much joy from baseball this week. I actually wasn't looking forward to watching this game at all. Thankfully, the Phillies were there to pick me up when I was feeling down. They played a legitimately entertaining game that got me excited for baseball again.
Tonight was all about Jerad Eickhoff, whose name looks like it should be spelled differently somehow. Eickhoff was one of the 50 or 60 players the Phillies got from the Rangers in the Cole Hamels trade, and was called up just today to make his major league debut.
