Ron Shandler of Swindler Inc.: Wrong Again

He could barely catch his breath this spring telling everyone to stay away from this flash-in-pan. Leading the league in HR and RBI, with a near .400 OBP? What is Ron smoking? He might be pretty good, Ron (my subscription expires this week).

Ryan Howard (Hillcrest Hummingbird, Triple Dog Dare) hit a pair of solo homers and added a third RBI on a groundout as the Phillies blew out the Marlins 11-1 on Tuesday. Howard hit a solo homer off reliever Carlos Martinez in the fourth, then added a second blast off reliever Mauro Zarate (Chix?) in the sixth. Despite playing in just 94 games this season, Howard has an impressive 32 homers and 93 RBI.
