Howard's number to be retired, plus today's line-ups
options
 

Ryan Howard is already getting his number retired. . .by the Lakewood BlueClaws.

The Phillies' low-Class-A affiliate will retire the No. 29 Howard wore in 2002, when he hit .280 with 19 home runs and 87 RBI in 135 games for the BlueClaws.

The ceremony is scheduled to take place on Sept. 2. The Phillies are off that day, which means Howard will be in attendance.

    Charlie: Here's what to do for your 5th rotation starter spot. Use Jamie,Pedro& Kyle in a rotating 5th spot.There is no rule against it is there? And you would have a power house as well as bull pen help.

    I remember that homer Ryan hit during his rehab stint in Lakewood back in '07...so cool to be there for that. Excited to see him coming back in September!
