Watching and Waiting
 
BEVERLY HILLS (MI) -- Back in the “Psychedelic Sixties” the Moody Blues came out with a mind-altering song entitled “Watching and Waiting” that seems apropos for the Flyers current 2012 recruiting situation. Here’s a sample:

For a friend to play with
Why have I been alone so long?”

-- A few weeks ago, Che-Hsuan Lin of the Boston Red Sox played one-half inning of defense, never batted and was immediately optioned back to AAA Pawtucket. Turns out that Lin’s name translated into English is “Moonlight Graham”:
