Madson's Tear = Phillies Catch a Break

Things have been a little testy at Citizens Bank Park as of late. Chase Utley is ailing and Phillies' General Manager Ruben Amaro, Jr. admits that he's worried about it. Ryan "The Big Piece" Howard is still hobbling around with a busted Achilles.Roy Halladay hasn't been as lights out as his regular self.   But there's a bright side to this: the former Phillies closer Ryan Madson, who Philadelphia let walk in the offseason, has a torn ligament in his throwing elbow and will miss the entire 2012 season..

Now, you may be wondering--Liana, how is this good news for the Phillies? Well, I guess it's really not, but we ended up getting lucky. If Madson was still a Phillie, we'd have to add him to the injury list. But since he's not, we don't.

Misery loves company?
