When the rest of the Phillies had a day off on Thursday, Roy Oswalt took a quick trip to Mississippi.  As Ryan Lawrence of the Delco Times reports, Oswalt made the trip to see his parent's new home.  Their old one- Roy’s childhood home- was destroyed by a tornado in April.  For the past four months the Oswalts were living at Roy's house, which is only a mile away and wasn't affected at all by the storm.

Oswalt’s mother survived the ordeal by hiding in a closet that Oswalt built as an addition.  The room was the only part of the house that remained.  His father was on a hunting trip at the time.

Crazy summer for Oswalt, but he certainly doesn’t seem distracted.  He was in New York on Friday and threw a complete game shutout on Sunday.  Ho-hum.
