The roundup:

The Phillies went 1-5 on their road trip. I like this paragraph from Ryan Lawrence:

A day removed from a gut punch of a one-run loss, 2 days removed from a blowout win, and 3 weeks removed from a game when they scored a dozen runs against the Reds, six off starter Homer Bailey, the 28-year-old Reds righthander handcuffed the worst team in the National League.

They now have the second worst record in baseball at 25-36, just behind the Tampa Bay Rays. That sound you hear is 2008 weeping.

Jimmy Rollins is five hits away from the Phillies’ franchise record and that’s cool.

The Phillies called up flamethrower Ken Giles this weekend. There’s another prospect they can mismanage.

No idea what Claude Giroux is doing here, but he appears to be standing with another man while said man poops. Meanwhile, Mike Richards and Jeff Carter prepare for Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals [UPDATE: Apparently not.]

You know, if you send me a picture of Howard Eskin strolling the beach with a lady, I’m going to post it.

[Have no idea who the woman in that photo is or if she is even with Eskin. But this reporting is about as responsible as Eskin’s, so I see no issue in posting.]

The Sixers are holding 76 draft watch parties the night of the draft. Locations here.

I don’t blame California Chrome’s owner for being pissed off, and I respect his passion. But, dude, the horses don’t give one half of a shit.

Bikini clad yoga instructor gets taken out by huge wave. Europeans are so weird.

Hot ladies of the National League.

If the Eagles want to host a Super Bowl, they’re going to need to comp the NFL golf course greens fees and bowling alley rentals, because the NFL can’t afford these things.
