Funny this is brought up right now. I was at my physical therapist a few hours ago in center city Philadelphia at a place called the Rothman Institute who are the official doctors and physical therapists of the phillies. My therapist, who also happens a friend of mine, said that Raul ibanez was there two weeks ago getting his physical for the phils. I thought it was pretty cool that i was getting "professional" level care.

On another note, i thought it was kinda bittersweet to see burrell go. On one hand, i didnt like him and booed him for swinging at low and outside pitches for years. On the other hand, phils did just win the world series and didn't want to see the core broken up. Oh well, hopefully this will turn out very well.

Thats where I had my back surgery by Alexander Vaccaro.

And now with Rameiro out for 50 games because of some over the counter supplement abuse. What BS!
