MIAMI GARDENS -- Greetings from Dolphin Stadium, where plenty of good seats usually are available.Couple of quick notes before the Phillies' clubhouse opens at 3:35:
* Brett Myers insists he's not being overworked. I tend to agree with him, although he'd never admit it if he was.
* Don't expect to see Tom Gordon for a while. Gordon has begun a conditioning program at the Phillies' facility in Clearwater, Fla., but he likely won't do any throwing until after next Monday when he vists team physician Michael Ciccotti in Philadelphia.
* A picture of Joe Girardi has been added to the hallway that leads from the press box to the media dining room. Girardi, who famously feuded with Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria, was the only former Marlins manager who didn't have his picture up the last time the Phillies were here in April.
* The Phillies raised a record $720,056 at last night's annual Phillies Phestival for ALS. Here were the top three items up for auction: 1. Use of Pat Burrell’s suite on June 11 ($5,400); 2. Ryan Howard’s game-used home jersey from his 2006 MVP season ($4,100); 3. Chase Utley original oil painting and print ($3,200); trip for two to see the Phillies play the Cubs in Chicago on June 30-July 2 ($3,200).
So, how much would you pay to use Burrell's private suite?
