Former Phillies, Current Pirates RHP Chad Qualls “Helps Destroy” Both Pennsylvania Teams in One Year?

Ruben Amaro Arranges Unicorn Ride, Trades Chad Qualls to the Yankees

UNREAL: A TEAM ACTUALLY TOOK CHAD QUALLS OFF OF THE PHILLIES HANDS!  The New York Yankees of all teams took Qualls off of the Phillies hands' for a player to be named later or cash.

Rockies Finally Pick Up a Win; Defeat Phillies, 4-1

Just another one of those games on a sweltering June night. As big of a problem as situational hitting is for the Phillies, it seems to be getting worse as the season progresses.
