If you're a hardcore baseball junkie like I am, you feast on every baseball rumor you can almost immediately after the World Series ends. MLB Trade Rumors basically becomes my home page for the winter. My favorite post is the one that tries to place where the top 50 free agents go. It usually makes […]
Yesterday, a whole hoard of Philadelphia fans went into a craze over Domonic Brown supporting his Cowboys. These very fans fed the cliche that has been described the Philadelphia sports fan on the national stage. Unhinged, childish drama over a Cowboys jersey is among the dumber things I've seen lately amongst the fan base I […]
It's that time of year again where us fans start thinking about what we want for next season (I started this half way through the season personally). Catching, right handed corner outfielder with pop, a starter and a reliever are the spots to fill. Here's my top 5. These are all free agents and I […]
The 2013 Philadelphia Phillies head into their final game in Atlanta at 73-88. By the time this baseball day ends, they could be picking as high as 7th in the 2014 MLB Draft and have basically clinched a protected draft pick which means they don't have to forfeit it in the even they sign a […]
Cliff Lee and Kris Medlen locked up for one of the best pitcher duels of the season in Atlanta tonight. Sure you could say both offenses were a bit lifeless as well and some bats were given away on both sides, but those were two great arms tonight. Kris Medlen pitched eight innings of two […]

It's been a rough season for the Phillies. Injuries, bullpen blowups, bad at bats, and bidding farewell to the winningest manager in club history Gambles on Michael Young, Delmon Young, Chad Durbin, and Mike Adams all went bust. Roy Halladay, the prized trade target of the Ruben Amaro Jr. years, has gone from staff ace […]
Per Todd Zolecki, the Phillies will announce the lifting of the interim tag on Ryne Sandberg and he will be manager for the forseable future. Since Sandberg has taken over, they have gone 17-16 and for the most part have played better baseball even in the losses. This Mets series seems a good example where […]
It was announced last night that Kyle Kendrick will be shut down for the remainder of the 2013 season after a second opinion. It appears precautionary as Kendrick, at 182, has reached a career high in innings pitched. He started off really strong this season but a dreadful second half leaves him at 10-13, 4.70 […]
