Hectic day here at the Bank -- and the game hasn't even started yet. Here's a rundown of what's going on:1. Chase Utley had a surgical procedure that the Phillies believe will allow him to come back in 3-4 weeks. (Insert sigh of relief here. On second thought, with the Phillies' injury luck this season, keep holding your breath).
2. Reluctant to use Abraham Nunez as their everyday second baseman until then, the Phillies traded for Tadahito Iguchi from the White Sox. It cost them single-A right-hander Michael Dubee, who happens to be the son of pitching coach Rich Dubee. Iguchi, 32, is batting .251 with 17 doubles, four triples, six homers and 31 RBIs in 90 games for the White Sox.
3. Aaron Rowand isn't in the lineup tonight after injuring his left shoulder while playing tag with his children and their friends Thursday night. Seriously. Stop laughing. That isn't nice.
4. The Phillies activated Brett Myers from the disabled list. He's available to pitch tonight. To make room on the roster, they sent down not-quite-ready-for-primetime lefty Mike Zagurski.
There you go. Time for me to start hacking away at my keyboard for the 50-cent edition. Discuss. I'll jump in later.

If it were anyone BUT Rowand, I'd be annoyed and skeptical. Instead, I'm just a bit more depressed and hopeful it's minor.
Huge performance by Moyer last night. Good to see him have an outing that reinforces our belief that his age isn't catching up to him.
Yet....
Saw on ESPN where Myers hurt his elbow beating his wife
Oh my god hassan, that's the funniest joke I've ever heard in my life. I can't believe I've never heard something like that before! It must feel so great being the first to come up with such an amazing joke of that caliber. Are you one of the contestants on Last Comic Standing? I really hope you are because I'm 100% positive that you would win. You should even release a comedy CD like Chris Rock and Adam Sandler and Dane Cook. It would without a doubt go quadruple platinum within the first couple hours of being released.
Man, you're too funny!
12:05 - that's why putzes like you remain annonymous
I think Bourn had the biggest night of all last night - he was only a double, triple, and home-run short of the cycle!
Really, though, he had a monster night and stole his 17th bag in 99 at-bats. Imagine what he could do over a full-season.
Great win for the Phils. When's Iguchi get here?
Matt, maybe this will help you out:
