It’s Friday afternoon. It’s nice out. And I don’t feel like writing.

– On his podcast, 6 Minutes, Ryan Howard talks about his rehab and says he is hitting off live pitching. Also, gets up at 5 a.m. and is forced to watch the Phillies on his computer because, apparently, he hasn’t figured out that you can subscribe to the MLB package on TV. Give it a listen.

– In an interview with SI.com, Jonathan Papelbon said he loves Philly. He compared it to… Paris.

"Philadelphia has a cool feel to it, man. It's a vibe that the city produces. It makes you feel like you are in Paris. I've never been to Paris, but I've seen it in a lot of movies. I think [Philadelphia] is going to be a great place to live."

 

Read it.
