Baby Backs are Done...

Well, there they are...the top one was done on the grill, while the bottom one was done completely in the oven. The verdict?

However, both racks lacked substantial meat and, thus, were a bit dry (especially the oven ones). The next batch will not be purchased at BJ's.

First Adam Eaton actually won a game for the Phillies and now the immortal J.D. Durbin pitched a complete game, 109 pitch shutout in today's 9-0 win against the Padres. Durbin, claimed off waivers from the Boston Red Sox in April, came into the game with a 6.86 ERA and 26 hits in only 21 innings.
