Phillies Scratch Oswalt From Saturday Start

Phillies veteran righthander Roy Oswalt has been scratched from his Saturday start in Atlanta against the Braves because of a sore back. He injured his back a few weeks ago in a start against the Florida Marlins.

It seemed to have happened after he laid down a bunt and seemed to hurting while running the bases.

He has started two games since injuring his back and was scheduled to start for the first time since going to home to Mississippi to check on some family members and his property.

Going on the 15 Day DL– Phils Call up RHP S Mathieson to replace his spot on the Roster and K Kendrick to tak oswalt’s spot in the Rotation..
Anyone notice the TOmahawk Chant is getting a little louder each week
Brves has won 8 of their last 10 games and have some of their injured players returning and with a Rototaion of Lowe,Hudson,Jurgens and HAnson is not that far behind the Phils and their Bullpen which sturggled out of the gate is starting to get better and better… The Braves will be there in the end as I stated all Spring..

P(nis)man — your favorite team the Atlanta Braves will NOT be there in the end. They will succumb to the Phillies like everyone else will do once the Fightin’s get healthy. Period.

We’ll See Birdo
The Braves are not my favorite team,in fact I don’t like them at all but I do believe that they the biggest competition to my favorite team (Phils) and will nudge them out in the end due to the overall strength of their Pitching Staff..
