Welcome to the Hog Blog, a blog chronicling minor-league baseball in the Lehigh Valley. Tom Housenick, The Morning Call's IronPigs beat writer, has been at The Morning Call since 2008. In a previous lifetime, he was at Lackawanna County Stadium in Moosic talking with future Phillies Jimmy Rollins, Pat Burrell, Shane Victorino and Ryan Howard, among many others. He’ll now be spending his summers in search of who the Phillies are hoping to be the next Chase Utley and Cole Hamels plus any outfielder who catch and hit. What he really hopes to find are the next Mariano Rivera, Todd Helton and Jim Thome --- great human beings who happened to be great at this sport. He spent the last five years covering Colonial League football, college basketball and high school track & field.

It's a virtual lock that Ryne Sandberg will be using a new line-up tonight.
Scott Podsednik, signed earlier this week to a minor-league contract, has been activated for Saturday night's game with Rochester.
To make room, outfielder Cory Sullivan was released.
Sullivan hit .210 (21-for-100) with 14 RBIs in 36 games with the IronPigs.
