On my morning drive to school, my friend and I are usually tuned into Preston and Steve because, well, it’s Preston and Steve. But this morning, I happened to stumble upon Todd Zolecki, Phillies beat writer for MLB.com, being interviewed on 94.1 WIP. I’m glad I detoured my normal routine because I was able to […]
And just when you leave the house to go walk your dog, Ruben Amaro Jr. strikes! It's been a quiet few days in Phillies land, but the hot stove is finally blazing. ESPN's Pedro Gomez is reporting the Phillies and Diamondbacks are discussing a trade which would send Pitcher Cliff Lee (and cash) to the Diamondbacks […]
8 games. Half a season. Over 2 full months. All of this has passed since the Philadelphia Eagles last won a professional football game. In that time, we’ve seen Juan Castillo turned into a scapegoat, Nick Foles take away the starting position from an injured Mike Vick, LeSean McCoy concussed on an unnecessary play, Jason […]
"Now batting 4th for your Philadelphia Phillies…number 22, Josh Hamilton?" (Photo courtesy of Wikipedia) As another free agent option bites the dust, the pickings at center field are getting slimmer by the day. Early last week, NL East divison rival the Atlanta Braves signed B.J Upton, viewed as the "cream of the crop" […]
I recently said I didn't want us to continue to pursue Angel Pagan at the price he was commanding. I really don't want us to. Pagan's above average, but above average is a bad four year bet. Rosenthal is reporting Pagan and the Giants are close to a deal. I really hope so. So who […]
unhd.com We'll always have your perfect 48 for 48 season, Brad. Jayson Stark of ESPN tweeted this evening that Brad Lidge has informed his agents, Rex Gary and Jim Turner, that he plans to retire. Lidge, 35, was a first-round pick from the Houston Astros. He spent 2002-2007 with the Astros, posting a 23-20 record […]
On the night of Thanksgiving, the only discussion piece in the NL East was the Marlins giving up for the next 7 to 10 season. No major moves were being made. No trades were being conjured up. No Greinke. No Upton. No Hamilton. Things have changed. On Wednesday night, Atlanta won the bidding war with […]
As ESPN's Jerry Crasnick just reported, the Phillies are soon to be parting ways with utility outfielder Nate Schierholtz. Schierholtz, acquired in the Hunter Pence trade this past season, was expendable with left-handed bats Laynce Nix and Domonic Brown. Schierholtz will soon be a free agent, adding another outfielder to the market. The Phillies are […]
A lot is being made about the events in the National League East over the past 72 hours, from the Phillies failed trade for Wilton Lopez, to the Nationals successful trade for Denard Span, to the Braves paying $75.25 million to get B.J. Upton, and keep him out of Philadelphia. Ruben Amaro is taking a […]
It never fails. Regardless of time of day or season there is no movie that inspires my love of baseball as much as Field of Dreams. The inner struggle of a thirty something portrayed by Kevin Costner remains relatable and accessible while the scene stealing monologues performed by cinematic greats Burt Lancaster and James Earl Jones capture the […]
