Pout Pitch | Our own Mr. Accountability, Larry Bowa, launches another preemptive strike of an excuse, whining to the Inquirer's Jim Salisbury about the supposed inequities of the Phillies' interleague schedule. Why, Larry asks, do the Phillies have to play the Red Sox while the Marlins get to feast on Tampa Bay? Your answer in four words, Larry: Shut up and play. As Mike Carminati notes in a concise and spot-on post, the Phils' troubles can be pegged to their woeful performance against their own division rivals -- including, of course, the Fish.
