Todd Zolecki reports that Utley had successful hip surgery on Monday, and that his timetable for return remains the same – 4-6 months. According to Zolecki, “Utley had an arthroscopic debridement of his labrum and a bony lesion that was present.” Sounds like a lot of fun.

Dugout Central theorizes how the Utley gap will be filled by the Phils.

Lenny Dykstra has settled a lawsuit with an accounting firm, but not before dissing Mitch Williams and vamping about assorted other issues. Man, is he a head case.

Jamie Moyer and the Phillies are still talking, according to Mr. Z, but nothing has been finalized. Perhaps it’s just a scheduling issue, or maybe they can’t agree on years, but it looks like the Phillies are exploring their options with other free agents. Is it gamesmanship to get Moyer to sign, or are they serious about Burnett or Lowe, both who would be far more expensive?

Jason Weitzel over at Beerleaguer laments the loss of R.J. Swindle.

The Good Phight lists some things to be give thanks for before we engulf the bird tomorrow.
