Catchers (2): Carlos Ruiz, Chris Coste
Infielders (6): Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Jimmy Rollins, Pedro Feliz, Greg Dobbs, Eric Bruntlett
Outfielders (6): Pat Burrell, Shane Victorino, Jayson Werth, Matt Stairs, Geoff Jenkins, So Taguchi

What the funk! Seems that WDEL cowd down to the mighty dollar! Instead of covering the full game they opted to cover only the first 1st hour! Shame! SHAME! Philadelphia Phillies have Delaware fans too! And yet, the mighty, WDEL caved in! PITY! PITY! PITY!
