It's always better when you win, and the Phillies celebrated like there was no tomorrow at home plate with the victory. Now Carlos Ruiz, who injured himself running the bases during the game, and Ryan Howard, who says his knee is 'sore' will undergo an MRI on Monday to see what is going on. This all happens as Roy Halladay is sidelined for many weeks until late in the season at the earliest. The Phils have been on their .500 trek for a long time, even going 5-5 in their last 10 but they can't seem to string a long winning streak together to turn the corner of the mediocrity. The Phillies go out on the road for 8 games that culminate on Memorial Day in Boston and then they play Boston on Tuesday the 28th before returning home and facing the same Boston Red Sox at home in Philadelphia for two games on Wednesday and Thursday night, the 30th of May. The Phils haven't slipped out of this race yet in the middle of May as they are 4.5 games out of first, but the future looks extremely cloudy for the next month or so with the possible injuries to Ruiz and Howard possibly being out for a few games. For now though, it's on to Miami for the Phils for a three game series that starts on Monday night with Cole Hamels will seek win number 2 of the season for the Phils. His season hasn't been the one he has probably imagined, but he can start turning that around with a couple of wins.

Soon, flyers won’t get long credit period from agents

The Bruins posted a dominant 5-2 win over the New York Rangers to pull ahead to two games to none in the Eastern Conference semifinals on Sunday night. But Jaromir Jagr didn’t see that fact as enough to warrant a night off. The forward is in the midst of a playoff scoring drought that dates back to his time with the Philadelphia Flyers, and it’s possible he’s hoping to contribute more to the B’s through the rest of the series. Jagr was seen on the ice at TD Garden around 8 PM, more than three hours after the Bruins’ win over the Rangers, in front of 17,565 empty seats practicing alone in a Bruins beanie hat. Check out the dedicated teammate in the photo below. Bruins now in overtime. Almost 8 pm, Jagr on ice, practicing alone with building all but empty. http://t.co/QegQbWVHJI— Kevin Paul Dupont (@GlobeKPD) May 19, 2013

This is a short working week for #Thailand as Friday-Sunday is a long weekend for Visakha Bucha

Oh, so this is cool. Fred Chasen, Raymon Sutedjo-The, and Charles Wang built a neato web toy that chronicles the long history of transit in San Francisco. I started looking at this one day last week while at work, and well, didn’t get much else done for like an hour. Curious about what transit was like before your grandpappy was even born?

Carlos Quentin Quentin: Bad Knee CHECK Mendoza Line BA Check Kyle Blanks: 6' forever Check Has power Check younger Check will run himself into walls Check Has stormed the beaches of Normandy UNCONFIRMED I am real giddy when it comes to Kyle Blanks ever since he came up and hit 10 home runs. He has had a bad string of luck. Imagine giving this guy 500 AB's; the upside is obvious. Quentin, he may work at a soup kitchen, the time has come to send him packing. Kyle Blanks Vs.

Cornerback Quentin Jammer says he is far from retiring and has been in contract talks with several teams, including the Chargers and Washington Redskins.

After an intense month of covering one huge crime story after another, north and south of the border, a sunny holiday weekend was exactly what I needed.
