Morning Rounds, September 10th
Kyle Kendrick is done for the season, and it’s not due the
injury. The righthander’s unexplainable
ability to get out of the trouble he gets himself into came to end, and it
couldn’t have come at a worse time. On a
night when the Phils’ boom-or-bust offense exploded for eight runs they
might not have been able to afford to let this one slip away.
Get it out the system boys.

Three lines on ours:
Phillies, Birds, Sixers, Flyers and more from terrifying
loved ones by watching football, after the jump
