Even as far as professional athletes lives go, Phillies outfielder Max Kepler has a fascinating life story. Kepler grew up in Germany, but it wasn't because either of his parents were from there.

ALLENTOWN - Garrett Stubbs walked out of the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs clubhouse and down the ramp into the home dugout. He turned left and saw something he hasn't seen in about seven months - a throng of reporters and cameras waiting to talk to him. Always glib and personable, Stubbs took his seat on the dugout bench, and as the reporters huddled closer around him, a big smile creeped across his face. "I'll start it off," he said.

Because of the doubleheader today, the Phillies get to add one player to the roster. They have chosen relief pitcher Daniel Robert, who they claimed off waivers from Texas a couple weeks ago. He has had three scoreless appearances for Triple -A Lehigh Valley.

Matvei Michkov was, in fact, a passenger in a single car accident in Dubai today. No one was injured in the accident.

Looks like Tocchet may have decided to stay in coaching rather than TV. If so, I’m pretty certain the Flyers will make the best offer of any team… it’s just a matter of if Tocchet will take it. He has always been, and remains their top choice for the gig.

Strong indications this week Rick Tocchet will soon land another NHL head coaching job. Philly, Boston, Seattle believed to be among the top contenders. The Flyers want to be aggressive. Good fit.
