I don't know about you guys, but yesterday's day off was huge. No game. No disappointment. No Delmon Young. It was a huge relief for the fans. However, would it be good for the Phillies? Coming of a series against the Dodgers in which they went 1-for-4, the team was reeling. Having to face not […]
The Philadelphia Phillies stood atop the proverbial baseball mountain in 2008, captained by a group of homegrown, core athletes led by second baseman and fan-favorite Chase Utley, and it certainly feels like a long time ago. Two years earlier, legendary Phillies' broadcaster Harry Kalas had dubbed Utley "The Man," and by proxy, the silent, hard-working […]
Per Twitter, one of baseball's modern legends (and former Phillie) Jim Thome has been hired by Chicago White Sox GM Rick Hahn as a special assistant. Thome spent three and a half seasons with the White Sox after being traded there in 2006 for Aaron Rowand and Gio Gonzalez (not a bad trade as history […]

Brandon Cumpton […]
At one time in my life, I would have told you that the New York Yankees are all that is wrong in sports. I hated them. That time is over though. Today, I view the Yankees as an AL team- in other words, I have no emotion towards them really. For this reason, I'm really […]
Not bad numbers, eh?Photo by Richard Wilkins Jr. If the Phillies want to trade Papelbon, one team that should obviously want him is the Detroit Tigers. With their problems at the back end of games, and their having the best roster in the league right now, he's the perfect fit to put them over the […]
The 2013 NBA Draft has come and gone, and Sam Hinkie has already made his mark as the new general manager of the Philadelphia 76ers. Almost immediately after the New Orleans Pelicans took Nerlens Noel off the board at #6, several sources confirmed that the Sixers had agreed to send All-Star point guard Jrue Holiday […]
It's official: Dom Brown is "big-time" now. The longtime Phillies prospect, turned potential All-Star has decided his time is more valuable today than it was a few months ago when he signed an agreement to appear at Carl's Cards in Havertown on July 16th. Some may point out that Brown has a legitimate shot to […]
Delmon forever.Photo by Richard Wilkins Jr. Well, another el suck road trip is over. California doesn't have Phillies fans dreaming, not at all. At 39-44, they look like a 90 loss team. Things are ugly for us fans. PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES (39-44, NL EAST-3) @ PITTSBURGH PIRATES (51-30, NL CENTRAL-1, MLB's BEST RECORD) WHEN: Tuesday-Thursday, 7:05 Tuesday […]
Domonic Brown, Ben Revere, Cliff Lee, Cole Hamels, Jon Pettibone. If you're on this list, you're sticking around, at least if I were the GM. If you're named Galvis, Hernandez, Ruf, or Asche, prepare to be here a month from now. Everybody else, buckle up. The Philadelphia Phillies are 9.5 games out of first, and […]
