Today in signs that God hates us.

Jesse Biddle, one of the few people, places or things that makes you even remotely enthused about the Phillies’ future, was kept out of his start on Sunday after being hit in the head with hail last Thursday. I repeat, Phillies prospect and local kid Jesse Biddle was injured by ice falling from clouds:

The Phillies top pitching prospect had to miss his last start with a bizarre injury. Jesse Biddle was held out of Sunday’s game after he was hit in the head by a ice during Thursday’s hail storm. Biddle complained to team officials of a headache, prompting them to skip his start for precautionary reasons.

Oh, nice.

Biddle is expected to make his next start… assuming that he doesn’t get struck by lightning or obliterated by a meteorite.
