Customs For Christmas: Phillies

It's been ten years since I've really said this, so I can polish this off: "man, the Phillies sucked this season."

It pains me that the team's gone downhill the way they have, and it pains me that Howard and Rollins aren't performing at their highest levels.

The good news is we always have Jonathan Papelbon to argue with umpires and occasionally nab saves.

Grady Sizemore as a Phillie was a sight I was hoping for about six years ago, but it's still nice to see the former Indian as an outfielder for the Phils this year. He's already been re-signed for 2015, which is nice, I guess.

Coming Later: A few standouts from the Pirates.
