Picture by Richard Wilkins Jr. I hate getting in on the Ryan Howard contract-bashing of many other fans, because, well, it's stupid. Lots of it began almost instantly in 2010, and frankly has kind of proven right by luck. The argument, as I remember it at the time was that Howard wasn't worth $125 million. […]
Pete Rose was supposed to appear at the IronPigs game on Father's Day to sign autographs and throw out the first pitch. He's not now, because it violates his "Lifetime Ban." Rose had voluntarily agreed to that ban to avoid having the Commissioner's office find that he had bet on baseball. At the time he denied […]
So last night was a perfect opportunity for Cole Hamels to win a ball game…but he didn't. For the first time since April 7th he pitched with a lead, thanks to a Domonic Brown three-run shot (his first of two). It was not enough, however, as Hamels was tagged for six earned runs on a […]
Coming off a series split with the first-place Boston Red Sox, the Phillies had a few positives they could hang their hats on going forward. The biggest positive rested on the shoulders of Domonic Brown, who continues to swing a hot bat. Going into four straight series against last-place teams, the team certainly had the […]
It was announced Friday that the Flyers have signed two international players, LW Michael Raffl and D Maxim Lamarche. The Austrian Raffl, 24, played for the Leskands IF team in Leskand, Sweden the past two seasons, and was, according to the Flyers' website, sought after by multiple teams before the Flyers moved in and inked him […]
I was going through old posts of mine the other day, and found a ranking of prospects that I did in the middle of 2011. There were some names on there that are really interesting now- Pettibone, Hernandez, De Fratus, and even Galvis and Biddle in my honorable mention area. There were also some real […]
I remember when Dom Brown arrived in Allentown in 2010, and we all were just watching him amaze us. Brown's name had really reached prominence already with it's inclusion in rumors for Roy Halladay and Cliff Lee, but now we were watching him live. He could hit, and hit for power. He could run, and […]
Okay Sixers fans; let's begin the first of many player profiles as we are about a month away from the 2013 NBA Draft. The first player profile that I want to examine is a player that could definitely be sitting there at the taking when the Sixers make their selection with the 11th pick […]
After dropping the first game of this four-game series, the Phillies have won two straight including last night's 4-2 win. Kyle Kendrick got his fifth win of the year after tossing six innings of two-run ball. Kendrick wouldn't have had a win if it weren't for Domonic Brown and his two home runs. Brown clocked […]
The Phillies hit four solo home runs, including two off the bat of Domonic Brown, in support of Kyle Kendrick Wednesday night as the Phillies defeated the Boston Red Sox 4-2. Kendrick (5-3) came into the game looking to rebound following two poor starts where he allowed nine runs in 11 innings of work, […]
