After a pair of weekend wins against the New York Mets,Philadelphia Phillies manager Pete Mackanin turned comedian. What was Jeremy Hellickson doing differently than last season? "He was a left-handed pitcher before this year," Mackanin said. "We turned him into a righty. I just saw something." And what about Jeanmar Gomez, who saved two games in 18 hours after getting one previous save in his big league career? "Fireman of the Year," Mackanin exclaimed. After coming within one loss of what would have been their worst start since 1934, the rebuilding Phillies headed to their home opener with a 2-4 record.
