Kyle Kendrick never had an easy day in Philadelphia, or any stadium in any city in which the Phillies were playing. But the fifth man in a rotation of stars isn't an easy position to be in, and needless to say, KK got endless sympathy and/or relentless vitriol every time he took the mound.
He wanted to belong with the Lees and the Halladays, and with each positive start, we'd think maybe it was his time to turn around. We the fans supported him by portraying him as a butthurt little brother in endless fictional characterizations.
