    As long as his elbow doesn't explode, it's very exciting to know Nola will be an amazing #3 in the rotation.

    That curve is nasty--


    Aaron Nola's curveball location. Batters are 3-for-58 (.052) with 29 strikeouts in PAs ending with his curve.

    well except for like the first 4-5 games of the season our bullpen has been pretty good. Go Phills!

    So...one other band.
    It's all subjective. I've never seen the Who live but I've heard they're great. Same goes for the Stones. Wilco has always brought it when I've seen them live. Widespread Panic is supposed to be a great live show. I saw Phish live, they had a ton of energy (not really my cup of tea, but the crowd was into the show). Chris Robinson/Black Crowes always put on a great show.

    4 shows in philly and nyc were great, but they really confirmed my stance that MMJ is the best live band on the planet right now. OBH in Mexico, the chicago run, the beacon run all zero repeats and flawless performances. I love both bands, but MMJ is currently in their prime where PJ's best days are behind them.

    My friend who I stayed with in NYC met EV today. EV said his voice was shot (not sure if that affected the setlist for MSG 2 -- lot of hits that the crowd could help sing. Also, Sting doing a song with them)

    Agreed, but it's also disconcerting that after trading hamels they still don't have a 1 or 2.

    Mazara sure would look good in RF for the Phillies tonight.

    MMJ is totally awesome and might be a better live act at this point but PJ proved last week they aren't ready to give up the fight. Plus PJ has the hits to attract casual fans and fill big arenas.

    Oh hey we're winning again!

    Who's to say Nola doesn't develop into a 2? That was his ceiling after being drafted. He's certainly pitching like a 1 right now. Velasquez is demonstrating top of the rotation stuff too. Even if all these guys end up as a bunch of 3's with maybe a 2 sprinkled in, they still have tons of resources to sign or trade for a true ace. It's not like Lee and Halladay came up through the system. Oh, and they also have the first pick in the draft next month.

    This team's in good shape...

    There's the rub. 25 years in, it simply does not get much better than live Pearl Jam. Think we can all agree on that.

    Odd - looks like they updated the boots for the firs two shows of the tour, and then nothing. Either that, or there's about a month lag on getting them up in the store - want to get my hands on these shows ASAP.

    Ahhh, man, if any of you are in the EPX area hit up Sate Kampar where The Bottle Shop used to be. Holy Lord that was good food, which I'm pretty sure made me late for work due to the food coma.

    Walked by this the other day and was meaning too look it up. Will have to check it out.

    We did Le Virtu on Sunday. Was really good. Taking the mother in law to Ralph's tonight for Mother's Day. Haven't been there in ages.

    Dude, sooo good - get some pork and goat skewers, some of the personal plates, and a couple of the shareable dishes. Boom - coma.

    Yeah, man, that area is spoiled. Even a couple blocks down from me at 11th & Jackson there's a new place called Pho-ladelphia. Really, really good and cheap. City is blowin' up.

    Very spoiled. Trying to make the rounds in that hood.

    Pho 75 is my spot. Would have to be something special to get me to cheat on them.

    I love Ralph's. Interesting that you mention it. I just drove through KOP just now and there was sign for Ralph's outside of a Sheraton Hotel (least I think it's a Sheraton). Right near the new Wegmans. I guess it's a franchise. Are there other ones?

    Weird

    Yeah, I think they ended up branching out with that one. Don't think it's a franchise, but that they wanted to open one up in KOP.

    But, yes, definitely weird.

    I'll be damned - just checked their website. They are franchising. Well, that sucks.

    Eh, yeah, your usual sauce (FUCK GRAVY) and pasta joint. Always liked it more for how old it was, etc.

    I like Dante & Luigi's more, but it's good for what it is. But yeah, a kind of novelty South Philly Italian pasta spot. Not a fan of the franchising thing.

    Apparently we're heading to Tre Scalini instead tonight.
