Okay. We're really doing this.
"The Andy MacPhail Era has arrived!" we exclaimed weeks ago, but it hadn't. The Phillies' incoming president was to follow Pat Gillick around for a while to see where touch-ups are most needed and to figure out, assuredly, where the bathroom is. You have to get a key from Linda, it turns out. No, not that Linda. Upstairs Linda.
"The Andy MacPhail Era has arrived," we suggested when Ruben Amaro was let go. Hell, it was even MacPhail helping make the announcement. Still, though; how could the wheels really be turning if Gillick was still in office?
