(Photo: Wikipedia Commons) We all knew this day would come. The New York Mets will host the 2013 MLB All-Star Game at Citi Field next season. It seems as if every time a team opens a brand new stadium, they get the chance to host the MLB All-Star Game within the first few years of opening. […]
According to MLB's Todd Zolecki, the Phillies have placed RHP Vance Worley (3-2, 3.07 ERA) on the 15-day DL with right elbow inflammation. In Worley's last start, against the Padres on Friday, he tossed six innings allowing 6 hits and three earned runs. Worley took the win in that outing. In reaction to the move, […]
The Cubs' Brilliant marketing team decided to have a Social Media Night at Wrigley field to help them sell tickets for a night game and their bad team. Because this series is just two games and it's the middle of the week in May, they can't count on Phillies fans coming to watch the […]

The Cardinals have given J.C. Romero his unconditional release. Romero has bounced in and out of now four organizations since the Phillies released him last June: the Nationals, Yankees, Rockies, and now the Cardinals. For the Cardinals, Romero had an 10.13 ERA in 11 games. Somehow I feel he would do better than many […]
"Ppppiiiiiiiiisssssttttttttaaaaaaccccchhhhhhiiiiiiooooooooooooooosssssssss!" It's a familiar sound for regulars at Phillies games of the last few years- the pistachio girl coming into your section to sell you pistachios, with her distinctive call to attention for all potential buyers. Some call it funny. Some say it's annoying. Some love it. For me, it's a part of the games. […]
