Liberty Ball

The word from Phillies camp is that Tom Gordon has his old pop back.  He was one of the few pitchers to actually throw fastballs in the first few days of camp.  This is a change from last season when he was coming off of an injury and couldn’t throw hard until later on in the spring.  I have always like Gordon since his “Flash” days with the cubs.  Having an actual closer in Brad Lidge, the Phillies can use Gordon as the set up man he should be.
