In case you were wondering or preparing for the worst, the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) has said that flesh-easting living dead do not exist.

He can start an official rehab stint at anytime, and has 20 days to return to the Phillies when he does (unless suffering a set back).

The 90's as a decade aren't in the distant past but they aren't the most recent one on the books either. In some ways parts of... Read More |
