Why baseball is unfair

A quick recap of this week's news:

** Ryan Howard, age 32, is slowly coming back from a devastating leg injury that could hamper his career.

** Chase Utley, age 33, is facing degenerative knee problems and may never be the same player again.

** Joe Blanton, age 32, looks too old and worn down to last much longer in the big leagues.

** Jamie Moyer, age 49, looks stronger and healthier than he has in years and will likely be starting for the Rockies in a few more weeks.
