I have a Philadelphia Phillies problem. I care deeply about this team. More than I should. I can't help it. I've been like this since I was a little kid, so we're talking 50-plus years of fandom.

There's actually news to report today. First baseman Tommy Joseph, who was designated for assignment when Jake Arietta was signed, has been picked up by the Texas Rangers. The baseball team, not the law enforcement types. Good for him. He's got a limited skillset that will play better in the American League.
Jim Salisbury has the news.
