Someone hold me.

I HAVE to believe this has something to do with the tornadoes...

Im more concerned that Ibanez is still in the line up, like 15 LOB last night! Ryan Howard can't do it all.

My guess is he is seeking a trade to a team currently not getting beat by the Marlins.

Reports are that a tornado may have hit Oswalts hometown of Choctaw County, Miss.

What is that you say? I thought Ryan Howard could do it all according to you his biggest homer

But seriously, hope everything is ok with Oswalt.

Being the resident Oswalt expert I can chime in. His hometown family house was demolished, I think last year, by a tornado. His NLCS MVP was destroyed along with other possessions. He was back in the lineup without missing a start. He is a very devoted family man, and his main argument for not renewing his contract after 2012 is because of family (missing time with his kids).
That was an odd start last night, I knew something must have been up. I hope it's not a back injury. The man has his priorities straight though. Baseball is baseball but family is everything.

The Phillies issue the following statement regarding Roy Oswalt’s decision to leave the team for personal reasons:

“There has been a tremendous amount of tornado activity near Roy’s home in Mississippi resulting in several tragic deaths and significant devastation to the area. Because of this, Roy is concerned about his family’s well-being. He has chosen to take time to make sure there wasn’t significant damage to his home, but more importantly, to make certain that his wife and children are okay.

It is almost a year to the day that his parents’ home was destroyed by a tornado which has heightened his concern about the current situation.

We are hopeful that he will rejoin the team for his next start, but will take that day by day.”

That might have been one of the worst starts I've ever seen from him. I would like to think he had his mind elsewhere, resulting in a poor performance.
