You Otta-watch the Phils Triple-A Squad

In case you were busy doing other things, like watching the Sixers sit idle at the free agent table or catching the latest injury update at Eagles' training camp, the Phils Triple-A Ottawa Lynx team is suffering through this season with a record of 46-72, a mere 21 1/2 games out of first place. Youch.

On the bright side, there is much to be hopeful for in the way of future entries into the Phillies' Classic Names of Fame, as found on the Lynx' roster, such as:
  • Our old buddies Eude Brito, Yoel Hernandez, and Fabio Castro
  • Dusty Wathan, son of former Royal John Wathan
  • Bubba Nelson, who may be drunk in this photo
  • Gookie Dawkins (real name Travis, no apparent relation to Mookie Wilson)
So while there's not much hope in the way of winning as far as the Lynx go this year, at least we have some great names in the waiting.
