Credit the Phillies for making these next-day summaries easy. This one was all Myers, who threw 82 of 119 pitches for strikes, whirling a nasty deuce to the tune of nine strikeouts. This is the best Myers we’ve seen since he was ...

Well there are no tricks to writing tests, there are only tricks to writing testable code. If I gave you testable code you would have no problems writing a test for it. But, somehow you look at your code and you say, "I understand how to write ...

In 18 2-3 innings, Rhodes, 38, is 2-0 with a 2.89 ERA and 21/8 K/BB ratio, holding left-handed hitters to a .194 average. Olney speculates that Rhodes would likely serve as a second left-hander out of the Philles’ bullpen. Beerleaguer: Why can’t GMs ...
