May 5 -- MAD MAX

PHOENIX -- OK, so we're between editions for The Paper, and there's some time to kill. So, I did some extra research on D-backs rookie starter Max Scherzer and found out he's heterochromic. Basically, that means his eyes are different colors (the right one blue, the left one brown), as you can see from this New York Times photo that ran a few years ago.

Creepy, isn't it?

(Does that make the rest of us homochromic?)

Anyway, the Phillies didn't have much trouble hitting his 98-mph fastball tonight. They scored five runs (two earned) on seven hits in four innings. Even Jamie Moyer had two hits.

5-1 Phillies, top of the 7th.

OK, back to work for me.
